Interior design plays a direct role in how your apartment performs on short-term rental platforms.
Presentation, layout, and functionality affect how the apartment photographs, how guests perceive value, and how often it gets booked. Poor design decisions can limit revenue, even in strong locations.
Each property is assessed individually. Some apartments require a full fit-out, while others benefit from targeted improvements that elevate presentation and functionality without unnecessary spend.
We do not offer one-size-fits-all fixed design packages. Every apartment is treated as a unique unit and designed to maximize its potential.
We start by inspecting the apartment to understand its layout, condition, and readiness for short-term rental use.
Following the inspection, we provide a property readiness report with clear observations and recommended next steps.
Based on the inspection, we prepare a design and setup recommendation tailored to the apartment.
Nothing proceeds without your review and approval of the proposed design and scope.
Once approved, we oversee the execution of the design and setup. This includes:
We manage the process end-to-end, while you remain in control of decisions.
Well-designed apartments:
Over time, these factors have a meaningful impact on revenue and asset performance.
We start by understanding your apartment’s revenue potential and positioning requirements.
Our design service handles everything needed to make your property guest-ready and beautiful. For a full fit-out, Layali will completely furnish and style your empty property from scratch – including furniture (beds, sofas, tables, etc.), kitchenware (plates, cutlery), electronics, décor and artwork, linens, and even essentials like bathroom items. When we’re done, your property will be fully equipped and photographed to appeal to guests. Essentially, we turn a blank space into a high-quality short-term rental, ready to welcome visitors.
Yes, we offer partial styling services for owners who don’t need a full makeover. If your unit only needs a few finishing touches or amenities, we can step in to spruce it up within your budget. In smaller “styling projects,” we’re happy to provide a list of recommended items (from décor accents to missing appliances) so you can even source them yourself if you prefer. Our goal is to ensure the property meets short-term rental standards – even if it just means adding some cozy décor, hotel-quality linens, or essential equipment to an already furnished home.
Yes — we start every design process with a kickoff conversation, and if you have a vision for the space, we’re happy to take it into account.
That said, we don’t offer generic design packages. Every apartment is assessed and designed individually, based on what will help it succeed in the short-term rental market. Our team uses performance data, guest feedback, and market research to guide the design direction — because some styles consistently perform better than others when it comes to bookings, photos, and guest satisfaction.
All design plans are submitted for your review and approval before anything moves forward.
Not long – we know you want to start earning quickly. A full interior fit-out usually takes about 2–4 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size of the property and the scope of work. Smaller-scale styling updates (if your place only needs a few items or tweaks) can be completed in as little as around one week. Layali has efficient design and procurement processes, so we work on tight timelines without compromising quality. We’ll give you a clear schedule, and you can expect your property to be guest-ready within that timeframe.
We source furnishings through a network of trusted suppliers, both local and international, to get the best quality at the best price. Layali leverages local manufacturers and vendors for big items when possible, which means faster turnarounds and pieces that are suited to the region (for example, durable materials for Riyadh’s climate). All furniture and décor items we install are hospitality-grade and chosen for longevity, so they’ll not only look appealing to guests in photos but also hold up to wear and tear. Quality is important to us since it impacts guest reviews and your long-term maintenance costs.
