01
APPEALING TO A GLOBAL MARKET
Your furniture package should be both user-friendly and unique. When interior design makes sense it is timeless. Color and style preference is personal, sure, but when it is obvious to the consumer that the space was created with thought and purpose, it is respected.
With Vacation Home Interiors, Purposeful Design is key. Guests opting for a villa over a hotel because they are looking for an exciting and elevated “home away from home” experience. The end goal is to book a home that is comfortable, functions well for their family, and has memorable aesthetics. Simply put, a wonderful space that gets them excited about their upcoming vacation!
02
FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER
- Research your competition, it’s vast! Put yourself in the shoes of a potential guest. What upgrades and extras do they use to market their investments. What jumps out at you?
- “The Big Picture”- When considering the level of design and thought that needs to go into decorating your investment it is important to think holistically. Consider the whole and what it ideally needs.
- Come up with a realistic budget and enlist the help of a professional. Being honest and upfront with your designer will get you to your return faster. It’s all about the photograph, your house should flow and be memorable.

POPULAR UPGRADES
We are pros at producing turn-key, rental-ready homes. We have spent years researching the industry, collaborating with top management companies, and perfecting our inventory to ensure that guests will have everything they need for a comfortable stay. Your base price will ensure that you are ready to rent… but here we talk about the most popular upgrades our homeowners use to ensure optimum bookings and return guests year after year!
WINDOW TREATMENTS
Floor-to-ceiling drapes evoke the feeling of luxury. While the clean lines of a maintenance-free cornice board are a great way to introduce patterns and complementary colors to a room’s design.
INTERESTING LIGHTING
Pendant lights add style and warmth to your kitchen bar and swapping out a standard builder fitting for a modern chandelier makes for a memorable snapshot.
ACCENT PAINT
Paint is the best bang for your buck cosmetic upgrade. Color sets the tone and also makes the room appear fresh, clean, and inviting both in person and in photographs.
COMMERCIAL GRADE PATIO
People from all over the world come to Orlando to enjoy our tropical climate. However, the effects of humidity show on cheap patio furniture.

MURALS = TRAFFIC =
BOOKINGS = REVENUE
CHILDREN’S THEMED ROOMS
We are often told by management companies that homes with Themed Rooms, which include Hand Painted Murals attract more website hits. This Ultimately turns into greater occupation throughout the calendar. Imagine yourself infront of your computer, browsing the internet for your next family vacation. You’ve decided that you want to rent one of the beautiful villas that are close to the attractions.. It’s usually a family decision on which home you are going to rent. -If you are making that decision with children in the room, more than likely you will be steered towards a home that features a beautiful themed room. Kids get excited and want ownership of which bedroom they are going to stay in on Their Vacation! A different and eye catching theme is another way to get ahead of your competition!
When it comes to Theme, the ball is really in your court…we can produce any mural or theme that you wish to consider. Classic Themes with staying power that are gender neutral always work!

GARAGE GAMES ROOM CONVERSION

COLOR AND DESIGN BOARDS
We create custom design boards as a visual for concepts that will flow throughout your villa. A design board helps to pinpoint the mood that you want your villa to evoke, the design style, as well as specifics such as color and textiles. Pictures can be much more effective than words when it comes to the inspiration for your home’s design. Some clients really enjoy this creative part of the process! Some clients are overwhelmed by this part and they are excited to leave it to us!
