On the Sunshine Coast, competition is fierce. With thousands of Airbnbs vying for attention, it’s no longer enough to simply list your property — it has to stand out, feel premium, and inspire confidence. Styling your Airbnb isn’t just about making it look good. It’s about achieving real results:

More bookings, even outside peak season
Higher nightly rates that guests are happy to pay
Longer stays, thanks to comfort and convenience
Better reviews, leading to repeat guests and stronger rankings
Less stress from complaints, breakages, or mismatched furniture

In short: styling is not an expense — it’s an investment in better returns from your property.

What Makes an Airbnb a Guest Favourite?

Professional Photos That Sell The Dream

Styled spaces look better online. Staging creates vignettes — a cosy reading nook, outdoor dining setup, or luxury bedroom — that trigger the “I want to be there” feeling. More clicks mean more bookings.

Cohesive Design That Justifies Higher Rates

Guests value sleep, cleanliness, and convenience above all else. Quality mattresses, soft bedding, practical layouts, and thoughtful lighting create the comfort that guests rave about in 5-star reviews.

Local Lifestyle Appeal

When everything aligns — colour palettes, furniture, décor — the property feels premium. That perception of quality lets you confidently charge more per night.

Reduce Stress and Wear

We select durable, guest-ready furniture that looks stylish but also stands up to frequent use. That means fewer complaints, less replacing, and a smoother hosting experience.

Results

While every property is different, professionally styled listings often enjoy clear uplifts in bookings, guest engagement, and review quality. A space with standout visuals, cohesive design and a guest-first approach consistently edges ahead of the competition.

What People Are Saying About Us

Working with Maryna was an absolute dream. She helped us style our vacation rental on the Sunshine Coast in a beautiful modern coastal theme, and the result is nothing short of stunning. From the moment we connected, we knew we were in good hands.

Because we live overseas, we needed someone who could not only understand our vision but also take full control of the project — and Maryna did just that. She went above and beyond, managing everything from sourcing furniture and decor to coordinating with tradies and suppliers, all while sticking to a tight timeline. Her communication throughout the process was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring — which meant so much to us given the distance.

One of the biggest compliments we can give is that so many of our guests now comment on how beautifully styled the home is. That’s all thanks to Maryna’s incredible eye for detail and natural sense of style. She created a space that feels warm, welcoming, and coastal without being overdone — exactly what we had hoped for.

If you’re considering reaching out to Maryna, do yourself a favour and at least have that first conversation. You’ll quickly see how passionate, professional, and talented she is. We truly couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again.

Thank you, Maryna, for making this process so smooth and for creating a space we’re so proud to share.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does styling increase my Airbnb bookings?
A: Styled spaces attract more clicks, convert more browsers into guests, and earn better reviews that boost visibility in Airbnb search results.

Q: What Makes an Airbnb a Guest Favourite?

A: Nine key factors turn an ordinary Airbnb into one that guests love, review highly, and book again.

Comfort That Stands Out – hotel-level beds, layered lighting, soft furnishings, and usable seating. These small details are what guests rave about in reviews.
Accurate Representation – photos that match reality. We stage and shoot your property so what’s online is exactly what guests find on arrival.
Local Holiday Vibe – light, coastal styling or hinterland touches that reflect the Sunshine Coast lifestyle. Guests feel they’re getting the full experience, not just accommodation.

Review-Worthy Moments – vignettes like a balcony breakfast scene, a reading nook, or sunset outdoor dining setup that make guests want to share their stay online.

Trust & Confidence – every detail aligned: from safe, durable fit-outs to a polished look that reassures guests they’re in capable hands.
