Bee Setups Reviews: Design Best Practices That Convert

At Bee Setups, we don’t just design beautiful spaces—we design listings that convert. Every furnishing decision we make is tied to a single goal: maximize revenue for short-term rental investors. Through thousands of hours of project execution and client feedback, we’ve developed a set of design best practices that consistently deliver high performance.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the strategies that make Bee Setups a favorite among real estate investors nationwide.

1. Optimize for Booking Photos First

Guests don’t walk your property before booking—they scroll. That’s why our first design priority is ensuring your space stops the scroll:

• Use color pops and contrast to stand out in thumbnails

• Symmetry and balance in furniture layout to create visual harmony

• Natural textures and greenery to add depth and warmth

• Layered lighting to create inviting ambiance in photos

Client Feedback:

“Our listing went live and booked up in 72 hours. The photography looked like something out of a magazine. Huge credit to Bee Setups for creating such a photogenic space.” — Nina A., Austin, TX

2. Invest Where It Matters Most

Not every piece of furniture needs to be luxury—but some items are worth spending more on because they directly impact guest experience and reviews:

• Mattresses – Guests remember a good (or bad) night’s sleep

• Sofas – Should be stylish, comfortable, and stain-resistant

• Wall Art – A few bold, large-format pieces elevate the entire room

• Smart TVs – Essential for entertainment and long stays

Client Feedback:

“Guests constantly mention how comfortable the bed is. That alone has improved our reviews and repeat bookings.” — Jason P., Scottsdale, AZ

3. Design for the Guest Persona

A studio in downtown Miami needs a very different setup than a 4-bedroom mountain home. That’s why we tailor each project based on target guest profiles:

• Business travelers → Desks, blackout curtains, modern/minimalist decor

• Family bookings → Cribs, larger dining tables, durable fabrics

• Luxury vacationers → Statement art, premium finishes, spa-like bathrooms

Client Feedback:

“Bee Setups helped us identify who we were really serving. Their design was perfectly matched to our ideal guest.” — Allison T., Denver, CO

4. Functionality First: Every Piece Must Serve a Purpose

We believe in a “form-meets-function” philosophy. Every piece in a Bee Setups project is both aesthetic and practical:

• Storage beds to maximize space in smaller units

• Ottomans that double as seating or tables

• Foldable furniture for flexible layouts

• Durable, easy-to-clean surfaces for high guest turnover

Client Feedback:

“They thought of things I never would’ve—storage under beds, smart seating. It made the space feel so much bigger and more useful.” — Leo B., Orlando, FL

5. Add Local Flair Without Overpersonalizing

Guests love to feel a sense of place, but they also want a neutral, hotel-like experience. Our designers strike that perfect balance:

• Local art and photography

• Accent colors inspired by the region (desert tones, ocean blues, urban metals)

• Welcome elements like maps, guidebooks, or locally sourced coffee

Client Feedback:

“We got compliments on the decor and the local touches—it made guests feel right at home without being too personal.” — Vanessa D., Charleston, SC
