There is quite a lot that goes into furnishing a property and I’m not just talking about the money. It takes some thought. A good design takes work and since it is such a crucial element to the success of your short-term rental you want to make sure you do it right. The first place I always recommend starting is with a floor plan. It will save you time and money and also be an additional resource your guests will love (more on that later in the episode). A floor plan will allow you to make sure you’re not putting a couch in a space that doesn’t fit (episode 113 we talk specifically about couches). You won’t accidentally squash a work desk in a corner that doesn’t fit. I can almost guarantee you that if you use a floor plan before you furnish your space you will end up changing your mind on how some of your furniture is laid out. There is a reason all of the pros use them after all! Luckily, today it’s easier than ever to have floor plans created for you so this week we’ll talk about a couple of those options as well as a couple of DIY options:  How can I create a floor plan myself A couple of DIY programs Where can I hire help to create my floorplan (virtually) How much do they cost?  Why your guests will thank you Check out Modsy here and Amazon Showroom here Are you enjoying the podcast?
