Short-Term Rental Design Inspiration

A striking array of bespoke room designs took center stage within the gallery, thoughtfully curated by the client for the short-term rental design. Captivating monochromatic rooms with shades of grey, white, and black clearly dominated the collection. Such a backdrop further set the tone for contemporary minimalist layouts, with clean lines and sleek appeal. The style also seamlessly transitioned from modern living rooms and kitchens to bedrooms and other spaces.

Interior Design Ideas & Moodboard for Short-Term Rentals

Kicking off the project, the client swiftly completed the questionnaire and shared their expectation from Decorilla’s short-term rental design services. They also engaged in an online consultation with a Decorilla team member, who used the inputs to identify two suitable interior designers.

Upon receiving the project brief, the designers crafted individual moodboards tailored to the client’s preferences. The client then faced the delightful challenge of selecting between the two comprehensive options. After careful consideration, Erika F.’s modern-contemporary vision emerged as the ideal short-term rental interior design solution.

Erika’s design moodboard for short-term rental interior design exuded unwavering masculinity. It also promised a sense of opulence and refinement, in line with the luxurious essence of the property. The color palette, carefully curated, maintained a delicate balance, featuring a strong contrast between crisp white and deep, rich brown tones, elegantly softened with subtle hints of light grey. The layout incorporated sleek and substantial furnishings, creating a harmonious blend of style and comfort.

Luxury Short-Term Rental Living Room 

This modern, masculine, luxury short-term rental living room boasts all contemporary design staples. Its double-height ceiling imparts a sense of grandeur, while reeded brown wooden panels on select walls introduce warmth and texture to the space. Tall and sleek curtains frame the windows to harmonize the room’s towering proportions, establishing visual balance.

At the heart of the room lies a comfortable conversation area anchored by an ample light grey sectional sofa. The sofa’s inviting presence is complemented by an industrial-inspired iron drum coffee table, a sleek metallic silver floor lamp, and a cream rug. Each element has been carefully sourced to work in synergy, contributing to a chic yet clean and masculine ambiance.

Above, a spiral pendant chandelier’s gentle cascading exudes refined luxury, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. It pairs seamlessly with two oversized framed abstract paintings that adorn the first-floor wall in the background. In the absence of other decor, the duo strongly dominates the room, injecting artistic flair into the space.

A commanding floor-to-ceiling fireplace clad in black marble takes center stage as a stunning focal point in the corner. Flanking this captivating feature, an 85-inch wall-mounted TV completes the ultimate modern living room experience.

White paint accentuates the room’s architectural features, notably highlighting the arch leading to the corridor. In harmony with a strategically placed potted palm, the crisp white surface serves as a striking juxtaposition to the solid, dark masculinity of the layout. The strong visual dynamics conveyed as a result add more depth and define the distinctive character of the space.

Short-Term Rental Design For a Kitchen With Breakfast Nook

The luxury short-term rental kitchen & dining interior design perfectly balances masculine aesthetics and a welcoming, homely atmosphere. The kitchen boasts a timeless appeal and a multi-angular layout with a central island, creating an inviting focal point. Three sleek metal bar chairs at its front offer a comfortable and stylish space to enjoy a quick bite. The spot also doubles as a home bar, just a step away from the adjacent living room.

Rich, deep brown cabinetry adds a strong masculine touch, beautifully contrasted by white-grey granite countertops. Meanwhile, a row of four pendant lights aligns perfectly with the horizontal surfaces, providing both functional illumination and a hint of elegance. The lighting design also connects the spaces, creating a coherent flow throughout.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast nook features a stylishly assembled dining set with a light oak table at its center. The table is surrounded by six contemporary Marelli-style dining chairs in a deep, velvety brown finish. Above this inviting ensemble, a Sputnik chandelier adds a captivating burst of light and style to the space.

Two potted plants flank the dining area to infuse a natural element into the design, bringing a touch of green freshness and connection to the outdoors. The setup further enhances an already inviting ambiance, ensuring guests feel right at home as long as they stay.

Master Bedroom Interior Design for Short-Term Rentals

The master bedroom exudes modern elegance, continuing the serene color palette of white and light grey, now accented by sleek black and brass metallic elements. At the heart of the room, a plush grey upholstered bed takes center stage, complete with a white bench at its foot. Behind the bed, a textured grey accent wall adds depth and sophistication, contrasting with the pristine white walls that envelop the rest of the space.

Above the bed, a pair of vertical, sizable abstract art pieces command attention. Two stylish table lamps on either side provide both functional and aesthetic balance, while the whole setup defines the room’s geometry. The sense of symmetry is greatly enhanced by an area rug that grounds the arrangement while mirroring the proportion of the tray ceiling. 

To the left of the bed, a large industrial-style, black pane floor mirror adorns the wall. Together with a sculptural coat rack on the other side, it adds a touch of chic yet edgy flair.

A niche in front of the window also offers a perfect spot for a dedicated workspace. It comprises an amber leather task chair that emerges as a striking accent piece amidst the monochrome scheme. Meanwhile, sleek black curtains complement the abstract white-and-black rug pattern, allowing for control over natural light and privacy. 

Across from the bed, a TV mounted above the drawer cabinet boosts the entertainment options of this luxury short-term rental. Flanked by two potted plants, the design mirrors the geometry of the bed configuration to complete a tranquil and stylish retreat.

Luxury Short-Term Rental Guest Bedroom

The guest bedroom shares a similar style with the master bedroom but with a refreshing twist: the introduction of natural oak wood surfaces. In this space, the contrasts are more pronounced with a striking interplay of dark grey against pristine white. The bed; sleek, modern, and upholstered in light grey, dominates the layout. Set against a bold dark grey accent wall, it also creates a captivating focal point.

An oversized art piece atop the bed, abstract in black and white, adds a dash of artistic, dramatic flair. Aligned with the bed contour, it draws the eye upward, simultaneously enhancing overall symmetry. The nightstands in a natural oak finish spruce up the room’s character while complementing the monochrome theme at the same time.

To the left of the bed, a dedicated workspace boasts a sleek metallic profile with a slim, modern white leather chair. Meanwhile, an adjacent potted plant introduces a natural element to enhance the room’s ambiance.

A natural oak cabinet harmonizes with the nightstands, creating a cohesive flow across the room. The modern accent chair with a nesting set of round tables on its side completes the layout that seamlessly combines modern elements and striking contrasts to convey a stylish ambiance.

Entryway Interior Design Solution

The entryway welcomes guests with a striking blend of modern minimalist design elements and trendy neoclassical trim molding on walls. This design choice not only exudes timeless elegance but also sets the tone for the entire home, characterized by a captivating play of contrasts and impeccable symmetry.

A carefully curated vignette takes the spotlight in the heart of the entryway. It stems from a sleek console table adorned with two art pieces that perfectly emulate its shape. Flanking the console, a pair of contemporary table lamps casts a warm, inviting glow. At the same time, on either side, sculptural coat racks crafted from marble and polished steel stand as eye-catching showpieces.

To underscore the sense of symmetry and balance, a runner rug elegantly lines the setup, providing a harmonious foundation for the arrangement. Above, an iron and crystal chandelier adds a decorative flourish that breaks up the heavier elements, infusing artistic charm into the luxury short-term rental space.

Short-Term Rental Interior Design of a Home Entertainment Area

 

Game Room Design

 The game room boasts a sleek and sophisticated ambiance with a continuing color palette based on gray, black, and white. At its epicenter, a pool table takes pride of place, exuding timeless appeal and putting all focus on recreation. A streamlined, round LED chandelier suspended above adds a modern touch while providing ample illumination for gameplay.

On the left wall, a black textured cabinet with a black pane mirror above introduces an element of depth and style.

Across the room, a console table with two bar chairs provides a cozy spot for spectators and players to relax. A sizable, intricate LED lamp graces the wall, serving as a captivating focal point and making a bold visual statement. It perfectly compliments the six-piece gallery wall that infuses a playful element into the otherwise sober short-term rental interior design.

Behind the pool table, a stone-clad dark gray wall accommodates two tall, narrow windows, creating an elegant backdrop. Two pairs of tall black curtains frame the windows, adding a touch of drama to the room. Between them, a slim metal console and a wall-mounted TV appear almost invisible, maintaining a clean and balanced aesthetic. Symmetry continues its supreme reign in this well-designed game room with two grey velvet accent chairs and chrome floor lamps flanking the TV. They provide another area to kick back, relax, and partake in an unforgettable entertainment experience.

Golf Simulator Room Layout

The golf simulator room extends from the entry hallway, creating an inviting extension of the outdoors to elevate the comfort of the luxury short-term rental home. Before stepping in, the gaze is already drawn to a prominent three-piece photo art featuring a golf ball, setting the tone for the room’s purpose.

Underneath the captivating artwork, three luxurious amber leather armchairs are thoughtfully arranged, each accompanied by a side table. This arrangement ensures guests can comfortably observe the golf simulator, which occupies most of the floor space.

Adding to the room’s appeal and sound quality, square panels clad the walls, providing both visual interest and acoustic enhancement. On either side of the playing path, wall-mounted screens help the players fully immerse in a virtual golfing world.

The dedicated playing area features a realistic green path and a large screen on the opposite wall, mimicking the authentic golf course. The room’s dark grey walls and ceiling create an immersive, focus-friendly atmosphere, enhancing the golfing experience in return.

Golfing equipment is neatly organized underneath one of the side screens. Meanwhile, a dedicated stand with a laptop serves as the control center for the game, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable activity even during rainy days.

Home Cinema Theatre Interior Design 

The home theater is a haven for movie enthusiasts, meticulously designed to replicate the authentic cinema experience. Eight relaxing leather recliners are neatly aligned in two rows, offering comfort and an unobstructed view of the expansive screen, further promoting a genuine theater atmosphere.

To ensure exceptional sound quality and acoustic isolation, the walls are adorned with wood panels, enhancing the audiovisual experience. Ambient lighting is thoughtfully integrated vertically between the boards. Complemented by recessed ceiling lights, it provides just the right illumination without detracting from the cinematic ambiance.

The entrance door boasts a timeless design reminiscent of classic cinema theaters from Hollywood’s golden age. Upon entering, two art pieces grace the walls, adding a touch of sophistication and style. Such an arrangement sets the stage for an extraordinary journey, offering a short escape beyond reality.

The generous screen that dominates the room is set against a luxurious black marble backdrop, exuding opulence and grandeur. On the floor beneath, a wide cabinet is surrounded by two powerful speakers, ensuring a dynamic audio experience that complements the stunning visuals.  

Patio Design With a Pool 

This luxury short-term rental also features a patio with a central pool. Its design creates a breathtaking outdoor oasis that seamlessly blends relaxation and entertainment. Moreover, the spacious plot allowed for the creation of three distinct leisure zones. 

A charming outdoor dining area awaits a bit away from the pool, right next to the house. It features a sleek table with a concrete top, surrounded by six dark woven chairs. A ceiling fan ensures comfort, completing an inviting space for al fresco meals and gatherings.

At the heart of the patio, a spacious pool offers a luxurious experience with four submerged loungers for unparalleled relaxation. Adjacent to the pool, four more classic loungers are arranged, perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the serene surroundings.

Behind the pool loungers, a covered cabana provides a comfortable relaxation zone. Furnished with two loveseats, two coffee tables, two benches, and four armchairs, it offers a cozy retreat from the sun and a perfect spot for leisurely conversations.

The third zone aligns with the longer edge of the pool and comprises a fire pit as the focal point. This area invites the residents to gather around the warm, flickering flames, making it an ideal evening relaxation and socializing spot. The pit is surrounded by four metal chairs, each adorned with decorative cushions. Two concrete side tables define the boundaries, advancing the users’ convenience at the same time.
