Austin’s short-term rental market is competitive — and standing out starts with exceptional staging. Most guests decide within seconds of seeing your photos. A thoughtfully designed space doesn’t just look good — it converts casual browsers into paying guests.
At Guest Haus, we don’t just make spaces pretty — we stage with performance in mind. Every piece, layout, and detail is chosen to boost perceived value, drive bookings, and create a guest experience that leads to better reviews and repeat stays.
Well-staged properties earn more, stay booked longer, and attract the kind of guests you actually want.
When you invest in design tailored specifically for short-term rentals, you’re not just improving how your space looks — you’re unlocking its full earning potential. Staging is a strategic tool that helps your property rise above the competition, perform better, and deliver an unforgettable guest experience.
With our interior design support, we work hand-in-hand with you from start to finish — helping bring your vision to life and turning your home into a dreamlike rental that books itself.
This Riverside property was underperforming with just $50,000 in annual revenue under its previous management. It lacked personality, guest appeal, and an STR-optimized layout.
After partnering with us, the home was staged from the ground up — designing every space with the guest experience and performance in mind. Our team sourced furnishings, styled for photography, and ensured every detail was guest-ready.
Within weeks of relaunching, bookings surged. The property is now on track to generate over $180,000 per year — a 3.6x increase — with higher occupancy, better reviews, and stronger nightly rates.
| 1 | Let's Talk Vision |
Every great space starts with a conversation. We’ll hop on a call or meet in person to hear what you’re dreaming up. Whether you’ve got a Pinterest board full of inspo or no clue where to start, we’ll talk goals, budget, timeline, and what you want your rental to feel like. No pressure, just good ideas flowing.
| 2 | Your Custom Proposal |
After the chat, we get to work crafting a personalized design proposal. You’ll see our layout ideas, furniture picks, color palettes — all curated to make your home stand out in the crowded STR market. Don’t worry, this isn’t set in stone — we’ll tweak things together until it feels just right.
| 3 | Sourcing, Shopping & Setup |
Once you give us the green light, we handle all the heavy lifting. We order everything, receive deliveries, coordinate installs, and make sure your space starts to take shape — with zero stress on your end. From statement pieces to functional staples, we’re all about style + substance.
| 4 | Final Styling & Guest Prep |
Now the magic happens. We style every room, fluff every pillow, and stock the home with everything it needs for guests — from corkscrews to coffee filters. Then we bring in our cleaners for a final deep clean to make it photo-ready (and guest-ready).
| 5 | Lights, Camera, Booking! |
Once your rental is staged and sparkling, we bring in a professional photographer to capture its best angles. With scroll-stopping photos and every detail guest-ready, your space is officially set to turn heads — and start filling the calendar.
