Question 1

WHAT IS THE INSIPIRATION BEHIND VANDER DESIGN?

Accepted Answer

Our founding partners have owned, managed, and designed hundreds of short-term rentals over the past decade. We realized both a passion for the design process and a need for designers who understand the unique demands of this industry.
 
The typical interior designer doesn’t grasp the needs of a short-term rental business nor is a typical short-term rental owner an interior designer. We bridge that gap, providing a service tailored to maximize your rental revenue.
 
We want to help any-sized business succeed in the crucial ‘guest experience’ arena which is often neglected, to the expense of revenue, reviews, and guest engagement.

Question 2

HOW DOES YOUR APPROACH DIFFER?

Accepted Answer

We know who is booking your property and what design aesthetic they prefer. We know how to stage and photograph your property to maximize guest engagement. We know how guests use your property and how to maximize your occupancy. We know it’s important for your property to be guest-ready as quickly as possible.
 
We combine this knowledge with an approach centered around transparency, cost- and time-efficiency, and a beautiful aesthetic; providing you with a one-of-a-kind design experience you will not find anywhere else.

Question 3

WHAT IS YOUR DESIGN PROCESS?

Accepted Answer

We create a unique design for your property within an approved budget and style, working with cost-effective and timely vendors to deliver it. Furnishings are stored locally, delivered en masse, set-up, and, if desired, staged and photographed. This entire process typically takes two to four weeks, much quicker than a ‘standard’ designer.

Question 4

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT STYLE TO USE?

Accepted Answer

We provide each client with multiple design options via mood boards stylized after local modern trends your guests prefer.

Question 5

DO YOU ONLY DESIGN SHORT-TERM RENTALS?

Accepted Answer

Our focus and expertise is on short-term rental inventory, but we have experience with, and are willing to work on, other spaces including long-term residential, boutique hotels and event spaces.
