What Past Clients Say About Our Partnership

“Mickler & Co is an excellent company to work with. Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable about the design trends of today. She is also very connected with merchants and got me the best price on furniture and décor. The short-term rental property she decorated for me including furniture, is so awesome that every traveling nurse who has stayed there has called me to tell me how beautiful my home is. “

Janie W., Real Estate Investor Wilmington, NC

“The home Rebecca decorated for me is stunning! When my family walked in, their comments were, Oh my gosh! This looks like it could be on the front of Architectural Design Magazine!””

Tony F., Entrepreneur NC

“While working in a temporary position I stayed in a home that was decorated by Mickler and Co. I was so impressed that I asked if I could buy the area rug in one of the bedrooms. The home is beautiful, and the furniture is very high quality!”

Priscilla, Traveling Nurse, Atlanta, GA

“I love what Rebecca did with the design of my home. It looks like a show place! The rental home design package cost was very reasonable, and she chose the furniture and décor. I let her run with it and stayed out of the decision-making process. I am so glad I did. I will certainly use her expertise and services again!”

Kimberly S. Myrtle Beach, SC

Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Rental Property Design Packages

How long will it take to transform my property from empty to guest-ready?

Each property is unique, but after you select the design style you’d like to see in your property and purchase your package, we’ll place orders and before you know it, we’ll call you to schedule your staging day. A standard 3 bedroom full home package, from initial design to staging day is 4-6 weeks.

How much input do I need to have in the design and shopping process?

You don’t need to lift a finger beyond selecting your preferred design style. If you have specific items you’d like included or a themed style you want us to follow, we’d love to incorporate your ideas. Our team handles everything, selecting furniture, decor, and essentials based on your chosen style, budget, and item availability. This streamlined process allows you to focus on what you do best while we create a beautifully designed, guest-ready rental property. Whether it’s for an Airbnb, short-term rental, or vacation home, we’ll take care of every detail to ensure your space stands out and maximizes its earning potential.

Will the items you select be durable and long-lasting?

Yes! We’re very intentional about selecting high-quality decor and furnishings that can stand up to years of consistent guests and are easy for professionals to clean. For example, we only choose rugs that are easy to vacuum, duvets that are easy to launder, and couches that will last through years of (sometimes rough) use. We will recommend you invest in higher quality finishes on heavy use furnishings like performance, stain resistant fabrics on sofas to extend the life of your furnishings.

How will our partnership help me maximize my investment property income?

Faster Turnaround
We get your property guest-ready much faster than you could on your own by sourcing unique, in-stock items to minimize costly downtime. This allows you to start earning revenue sooner and maximize your return on investment.

Standout Design and Professional Photography
Our talented team of interior designers will transform your property into a magazine-worthy space that stands out from the competition. As part of your package, we include professional photography to showcase your property with stunning visuals. These high-quality images attract discerning guests who are willing to pay higher nightly rates for a premium experience.

Thoughtful, Guest-Centric Design
We understand how people use spaces, and we fill your property with intentional, functional items that elevate the guest experience. From USB ports in nightstands to bed frames designed to prevent lost items, every detail is thoughtfully addressed to enhance comfort and convenience. These thoughtful touches not only wow guests but also help you earn more 5-star reviews, ensuring your property thrives in a competitive market.

 

Can I see what you're planning to use before you stage?

Yes and no. We design a comprehensive furnishings plan tailored to your home’s layout, the design style you select, and your target demographic. You’ll have the opportunity to choose the overall “look” or style and approve specific accents like feature walls or unique items. However, to streamline the process and eliminate second-guessing that could delay your return on investment, our team makes the final selections based on your budget, item availability, and the cohesive design vision. This approach ensures a faster turnaround, so your property is guest-ready as quickly as possible.

What if I don't like the items selected for the home? Or if it's not my style?

We understand that transitioning a home into a rental or hosting property—especially one you’ve previously lived in—can be emotionally challenging. That’s why our approach is objective and focused on maximizing your property’s appeal. By incorporating neutral, universally appealing decor, we create inviting and memorable spaces that attract a broad range of potential tenants and guests.

With over 15 years of experience in design and staging, our proven techniques have delivered outstanding results. Staging is a strategic marketing tool, not a custom interior design service, and it’s designed to highlight your property’s full potential.

Remember, the overall impact of a well-staged property is greater than the sum of its individual pieces. Even if a particular item isn’t your favorite, the positive reviews and increased bookings your property will generate make it all worthwhile!

What if something breaks, gets damaged or is stolen?

Well, it’s not a WHAT, but a WHEN. At some point, this will happen (in addition to normal wear & tear). That’s just the nature of furnished rental properties. Tenants & guests are HARD on properties they don’t own. We provide you with an itemized list of your property’s inventory that includes item pricing. When the time comes for you to purchase a replacement, let us know and we can recommend something & install for you.

    What's the return policy on furnishings & decor?

    All sales are final. However, if an item is new, unused, and eligible for return to a retail storefront (e.g., you prefer a different coffee maker than the one installed), we may consider a return on a case-by-case basis. Any approved return will be subject to deductions for any hourly fees incurred by our team. Additionally, we will fully honor any manufacturer’s warranty for items with damage or defects discovered after installation. Your satisfaction and the quality of your finished space are our priorities.
