Furnishing an executive home rental is extremely beneficial in making your property look more attractive to renters. This is because executive rentals are primarily used as temporary housing for travelling professionals; therefore, they aren’t looking to furnish the place themselves. A thoughtfully furnished executive rental will include everything that’s necessary for a travelling professional to live as if they were in their own home. However, if you’re a first-time investor, it can be difficult to know what to include in your executive rental. Therefore, we’re providing below a guide on how to furnish executive home rentals in Brisbane.

Why Furnish your Executive Home Rental?

While, yes, furnishing your executive rental does involve investing more money into the property, providing the right furniture and home goods makes your property more attractive and allows you to ask for higher rent. When furnishing your executive rental, it’s important to choose your furniture carefully, not going for the cheapest items but also not spending too much to the point where you aren’t making the money back.

What to Include

Below are some of the basics you will need to include in your executive home rental to be able to list it as a furnished short-term executive rental.

Mattress and Bed Frame

Your executive home rental must include a bedding set consisting of a bed frame that matches the style of the apartment and a comfortable mattress of medium softness. This will ensure that the mattress is comfortable for most visitors. In addition, you also need to provide basic bedding including a duvet, sheets, pillows and a blanket. Like the bed frame, this bedding should match the apartment to show cohesiveness across the property.

Couch or Sofa

Every executive home rental should provide at least one seating option for lounging purposes, such as a sofa, couch or loveseat. Like the bedding, the couch you choose should match the décor of the rest of the apartment and consist of durable, easy to clean upholstery, such as black or beige leather.

Bath Towels

Because all executive rentals include a bathroom, you need to make sure it’s ready for use. Your guests should not have to bring towels, bathmats or anything apart from personal hygiene items. If your executive rental is in a serviced hotel, they might even have a cleaning service that replaces towels on a bi-weekly basis.

Office Furniture

Because many of your tenants will be travelling for work, it’s important to provide them with a space to work if they need to complete tasks outside of work hours. The desk should have ample space, cable ducts and be placed near a PowerPoint for ease of charging electronics and the chair should be comfortable and specifically designed for office use.

Appliances

When booking an executive rental, even if its not furnished, there is always the expectation that there will be basic appliances available to make tea or coffee and keep drinks cold. In light of this, you should fit out your executive rental with an oven, microwave, kettle and fridge. Some great bonuses to include that your guest will appreciate Is a sandwich toaster, pod coffee machine or a blender.

Cooking Utensils

In addition to appliances, you also have a responsibility to provide cooking utensils so that your guest can make their own food. This includes pots, pans, bowls, plates and cutlery- anything you would need to create and eat a basic meal. Your guests should have the option of making their own food and feel as though the necessary utensils have been provided to do so.

WiFi

Nowadays, it is unusual for accommodation to have no WiFi available, making it an expectation of many guests. When your tenant arrives, they should be able to easily connect to high-speed internet so that they don’t have to use 3G internet at their own expense. This will result in happy tenants who are more likely to rebook later down the track.
