Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Interior Designer
Serving Asheville, NC + STR Owners Nationwide
High-performing interior design for cabins, mountain homes, and short-term rentals—whether your property is in Western North Carolina or across the U.S.
If you own an Airbnb or short-term rental and want it to book better, photograph stronger, and earn more, design isn’t optional—it’s a strategy.
I help STR owners and investors nationwide create beautiful, durable, guest-loved interiors that support higher nightly rates, stronger occupancy, and better reviews—without overdesigning or overspending.
Design That Works as Hard as Your Investment.
While I’m based in Asheville, North Carolina, I work with short-term rental owners across the country through a streamlined remote and hybrid design process. My work spans mountain cabins, beach rentals, ski condos, desert retreats, and urban Airbnbs—anywhere thoughtful design impacts performance.
Asheville simply happens to be one of the most competitive STR markets in the Southeast—and that’s shaped my design philosophy.
Why My Asheville STR Experience Benefits Owners Everywhere
Asheville is a high-expectation, experience-driven market. Guests come for emotion, escape, and atmosphere—not just a place to sleep. Designing here means getting very good at balancing:
Cozy + elevated (never themed or gimmicky)
Beauty + durability
Strong visual identity + real-world functionality
Guest comfort + owner ROI
I’m Not Just a Designer—I’m an STR Performance Specialist
Before founding Sukkha Interior Design, I worked as a lead designer for Vacasa, one of the largest short-term rental management companies in North America.
That experience gave me something most designers don’t have: exposure to STR performance at scale.
I’ve seen what actually moves the needle—ADR, occupancy, guest satisfaction, and longevity—and I design with those metrics in mind, whether your property is in North Carolina, Colorado, California, or beyond.
What Strategic STR Design Can Deliver
10–30% increases in average daily rate (ADR)
Improved occupancy, especially in shoulder seasons
Stronger guest reviews that mention comfort and design
Faster ramp-up for new listings
Better performance against comparable listings
Results vary by market and property, but strategic design consistently ranks among the highest-ROI STR upgrades.
What Guests Notice (and Mention in Reviews)
Across markets, well-designed short-term rentals earn better reviews—not because guests think “nice design,” but because the space feels better to stay in.
“Even better than the photos”
“So cozy and thoughtfully designed”
“Best Airbnb we’ve stayed in”
“You can tell every detail was intentional”
Design quietly does the heavy lifting.
