Short-Term Rental Design Services

Tampa Bay

Stylish, Guest-Proof STR Interiors

Looking to maximize your vacation rental income? At Azure Design Studio LLC, we specialize in Tampa Bay short-term rental interior design that transforms ordinary properties into 5-star guest experiences. From Airbnb and VRBO setups to luxury vacation homes, our eco-friendly, guest-proof design solutions help you boost bookings, increase nightly rates, and earn glowing reviews. Whether you need a full furnishing plan or a stylish refresh, we create interiors that balance comfort, durability, and modern appeal, tailored specifically for Tampa bay hosts and investors.

Why Your STR Needs Professional Design

The problem?

Generic decor gets ignored. With dozens of similar listings in Tampa Bay, basic furniture packages or mismatched rooms won'r catch attention on Airbnb or VRBO.
Poor layouts and durability cost money. If furniture isn't guest-proof, you face faster wear and tear, frustrated reviews, and higher replacement costs.
Missed branding opportunities. Without a cohesive look, your property feels forgettable, making it harder to earn repeat bookings or premium nightly rates.

Your rental should work as hard as you do, and the right design makes it possible.

Do you only work in Tampa?

Not at all. While we proudly serve the Tampa Bay area with full on-site design and installation services, we also work with clients nationwide through virtual STR design packages. With our e-design approach, you’ll receive mood boards, layout plans, curated shopping lists, and clear styling instructions so you can confidently set up your rental no matter where you’re located. Clients can combine our virtual services with local delivery teams, making it seamless and stress-free.

Can you work with my budget?

Yes, we design packages to fit a wide range of budgets and investment goals. Some clients need a quick refresh with styling and accessories to boost photos, while others want a full custom set up that maximizes nightly rates. We guide you in prioritizing the highest-ROI upgrades, such as durable seating, standout lighting, and guest-proof finishes, so your money is spent where it makes the biggest impact.

Whether you’re an investor managing multiple properties or a first-time host, we’ll create a plan that aligns with your budget while elevating your listing’s appeal.

How long does the process take?

Project timelines vary depending on the package you choose and how quickly items can be sourced.

Essential Packages : typically take 2-3 weeks, since they focus on layout, curated shopping lists, and styling guidance.
Signature Packages: take around 3-5 weeks, as these include vendor coordination, accessory packages, and on-site styling.
Luxe Packages: usually take 4-6 weeks, because they involve full procurement, branding elements, and more detailed customization.

We also adjust based on your target listing date, so if you need to move quickly, we’ll try tailoring the scope and delivery to match your timeline.

Do you provide the furniture and decor?

We make this flexible. Every package comes with a curated shopping list of furnishings, lighting, art, and accessories selected specifically for your property. You can either purchase directly from those lists yourself or choose to have us handle procurement on your behalf. For Signature and Luxe packages, we can leverage trade discounts and manage vendor coordination, saving you both time and money. If you’re in Tampa Bay, we also offer on-site delivery coordination and final install, so your home is styled and photo-ready without the stress.

How do you make sure everything is guest-proof?

We design with style and durability in mind. That means choosing fabrics that are stain-resistant, finishes that clean easily, and furniture layouts that withstand frequent turnover. We balance beauty with function, ensuring your listing photographs beautifully while holding up to everyday guest use. Beyond furnishings, we also consider storage, flow, and safety, so your rental stays consistent and easy to manage between guests.
