Project Background

This case study showcases how Revie designed and furnished an unfurnished apartment in Riyadh to be fully Airbnb‑ready in just two weeks. The goal was to create a warm, hotel‑inspired space that photographs beautifully, feels comfortable for guests, and remains practical and easy to maintain for the owner. Through tailored interior design, value‑engineered furniture choices, and cohesive styling across the living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom, the apartment was transformed into a turnkey short‑term rental that aligns with Airbnb guests’ expectations in Saudi Arabia. Why this Airbnb project matters Airbnb guests in Riyadh look for spaces that feel welcoming, modern, and reliable, not just nicely decorated rooms. By focusing on comfort, durability, and visually cohesive design, this project was planned to stand out in listing photos while delivering a consistently positive stay experience. Customer Journey Our customer approached Revie with the goal of furnishing and styling his apartment in Riyadh to be fully ready for Airbnb rental. The objective was to create a space that feels welcoming, comfortable, and visually appealing to guests, while remaining practical, durable, and easy to maintain. Revie delivered a complete design and furnishing solution — starting with mood boards and design direction, followed by furniture, lighting, accessories selection, and full styling coordination across the living room, master bedroom, and second bedroom.

I truly appreciate Revie’s outstanding work in giving my home both comfort and beauty through professional furniture coordination and color selection. Special thanks to Eng. Areen for her creativity, responsiveness, and dedication to delivering the project exactly as planned. I am very happy with the outcome and look forward to working with Revie again in future projects.

Before: The Challenge

When the client reached out, the goal was clear: to prepare an Airbnb-ready apartment that combines visual appeal with everyday practicality and suits a wide range of guests.

Designing for Airbnb Use

Furniture and styling needed to withstand frequent use while maintaining an elegant and welcoming appearance.

Balancing Aesthetics & Functionality

The space had to look appealing in photos while remaining comfortable and practical for both short- and long-term stays.

Budget-Conscious with High Expectations

The challenge was to deliver a premium hospitality experience within a controlled budget, without compromising on quality or design impact.

Fast Turnaround Time

Design, furniture selection, and styling had to be completed efficiently to ensure the apartment was ready to be listed on Airbnb as soon as possible.

Design & Furnishing Journey

The design approach for this project focused on creating a smart balance between comfort, visual appeal, and everyday usability—perfectly aligned with the apartment’s purpose as an Airbnb rental. A warm neutral color palette was selected, complemented by soft metallic accents and comfortable materials to create a welcoming, home-like atmosphere without excessive detailing. The primary objective was to design a space that immediately makes guests feel at ease from the moment they arrive, while remaining practical, durable, and easy to maintain. To achieve this, thoughtful design solutions were implemented to maximize value within the allocated budget, all while respecting the rental agreement and avoiding any permanent modifications to the apartment. In the living room, the space was designed to be comfortable and social, balancing simplicity with elegance. A curated coffee table and side tables with soft metallic finishes were selected, and decorative floor and table lamps replaced ceiling lighting to create a warm ambiance—without the need for any structural changes.

The master bedroom was designed as a calm and restful retreat using light beige tones and an upholstered bed that enhances comfort. Bedding and textiles were carefully coordinated to deliver a refined, hotel-inspired experience while maintaining simplicity and ease of use for short-term guests. The second bedroom followed a practical and minimal approach, featuring an upholstered bed, a three-door wardrobe to provide adequate storage, and coordinated furnishings that maintain a cohesive aesthetic throughout the apartment. To complete the experience, mattresses and bedding for both bedrooms were thoughtfully selected and coordinated to ensure guest comfort and enhance the overall stay. Every element was chosen to be visually consistent, functional, and easy to maintain—reflecting Revie’s approach to delivering smart, well-considered design and furnishing solutions.

Designing this Airbnb apartment was about more than styling — it was about creating a welcoming experience that balances comfort, durability, and visual appeal. Every choice was made to ensure guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.
