Lush Living Designs At Lush Living Designs, we craft elevated, performance-driven spaces that go far beyond aesthetics.

Every design we create—whether for a short-term rental or a boutique business—is a strategic investment rooted in intention, data, and brand alignment.

Small conference rooms usually feel like a box with a rectangle table shoved in it. We went round instead, added a patterned rug to define the zone over the commercial carpet, and let the window wall do the lighting work. What does your meeting space say to clients before anyone sits down?

Your listing photos are doing more work than your amenity list, and most hosts shoot them before the room is ready for a camera. Grouping art, clearing surfaces, and giving the lens one clear focal point changes what a guest feels in the half second they spend on your thumbnail. When was the last time you reshot your listing?

This meeting room started as a blank box with commercial carpet and one big window. The round table, the rug that defines the seating zone, and the blue wall behind the main video-call seat were all decisions about how people actually use the room without feeling dull. Do you have a small office space that you need to feel bigger than the way it's currently laid out? Give us a shout!

We went with one frame style for these modern bird prints instead of mixing, because a repeated frame on a dark wall keeps a gallery grouping from looking cluttered in listing photos. The warm peach tones in the art are doing the heavy lifting against that green. Do you mix frames in your rental or keep them all the same?

This bathroom had good bones and a bad 1990s light fixture. New vanity, fresh paint, globe lighting, and a curved shower rod got us a whole new room without touching the tub or the plumbing. Which upgrade would you tackle first in a bathroom like this?

The gallery wall in this guest room took four layout mockups before we committed. Grouping smaller art above a slatted headboard makes a modest room feel taller, and the olive accent wall provides the perfect neutral backdrop. What's the one wall in your rental you keep rearranging?

We chose nightstands with integrated charging ports instead of hiding them behind the headboard. Sounds minor, but it is one of the things guests mention in reviews, because nobody wants to crawl under a bed at midnight looking for an outlet. Where do you keep the outlets in your bedrooms?

Nichole and Tania here, answering the question that lands in our inbox every week. Turnkey design means we do the sourcing and the install so you never touch a box or shipping label. Virtual design gives you the plan and the product list to run yourself, which works well if you have time and a tighter budget. Which one fits where you are right now?

Same room, same window, same square footage. But the end result is worlds away from where this room started. The difference is a color story that photographs well and a mirror placed where it actually returns light instead of just filling a wall. Would you go bold on a primary bedroom, or keep the pattern in the common spaces?

We set towels on the bed instead of hiding them in a closet, and it is one of the cheapest trust-builders in a short-term rental. Guests see them immediately and stop wondering where anything is. Where do you leave towels in your place, bed or bath?
