Interior Design for Short-Term Rentals

The hidden reasons why guests scroll past your listing—and how to fix them in 10 days

Your apartment isn't the problem. How it's staged is. Furniture arrangement, styling, and small design details transform ordinary spaces into listings guests can't scroll past.

The Problem

Your listing is competing with thousands of others.

Dubai has one of the most competitive short-term rental markets in the world. Guests scroll through dozens of properties, making split-second decisions based on photos alone.

The difference between a listing that books and one that doesn't often comes down to details most owners overlook: how light falls in a room, which angles photograph well, what makes a space feel inviting through a screen.

About

Diana Calmic

I'm an interior designer based in Dubai. But I don't design spaces to impress visitors—I design them to stop the scroll.

There's a difference between a room that looks beautiful in person and one that photographs well for a listing. The angles that work. The lighting that draws the eye. The small details that make someone pause and click "Book Now" instead of scrolling to the next option.

That's my obsession: understanding what makes a guest choose your property over the dozens of others on their screen.

Common Questions

Questions you might have

What results can I expect?

Honestly—it depends on your starting point. What I can promise: your listing photos will look significantly more appealing, and your space will photograph the way top-performing listings do. Whether that translates to more bookings depends on factors like your pricing, location, and reviews. The goal is to remove "how it looks" as a reason guests scroll past.

How much does this cost?

It depends on your property and what's needed. The free audit call is where we discuss your situation and I can give you an honest assessment of scope and cost.

Do I need to buy all new furniture?

Usually not. Most transformations work primarily with what you already have, plus strategic additions where they'll have the most impact.

What if my apartment is booked during those 10 days?

We work around your calendar. The timeline is flexible and we coordinate installation during changeovers.

I don't live in Dubai. Is that a problem?

No. I work with remote owners regularly through video calls and local coordination.

Every month your listing underperforms is a month of lost bookings.

Let's look at your listing together. In 15 minutes, I'll show you exactly what's working against you—and what it would take to fix it. No obligation.
