If you want your Airbnb earning income quickly, speed is everything. The fastest way to furnish and set up a short-term rental is to hire a professional furnishing company that handles design, sourcing, delivery, assembly, and staging under one roof.
This eliminates the delays of coordinating multiple vendors and ensures your property is guest-ready the moment work is completed.
At Bee Setups, we specialize in turnkey Airbnb furnishing across the U.S., helping property owners go live in as little as 3–6+ weeks from the signed agreement — even for full-scale projects.
Quick Facts: Fast Airbnb Setup (2025)
● Average project minimum: $15,000
● Typical budget range: $20,000–$25,000+
● Timeline: 3–6+ weeks (size & scope dependent)
● Design packages: $995–$6,500
● Full service: Design, furniture, delivery, assembly, staging, and optional photography
Why Speed Matters in Airbnb Setup
Every day your property sits empty is lost revenue. In competitive short-term rental markets, a slow setup means:
● Missing out on peak seasonal booking windows
● Giving competitors a head start in gaining reviews
● Delaying ROI on your investment
A streamlined furnishing process can save weeks — sometimes months — compared to DIY sourcing and contractor management.
Fastest Approach: One-Stop Turnkey Service
The key to rapid setup is consolidation. Instead of hiring a designer, sourcing furniture from multiple retailers, scheduling delivery trucks, and coordinating handymen separately, a turnkey provider like Bee Setups manages everything in-house:
Consultation & Design – We assess your property, target market, and budget.
Procurement – We source all furniture and décor in one go, ensuring availability.
Logistics Coordination – Deliveries are scheduled for efficiency, reducing gaps between arrivals.
On-Site Assembly & Staging – Skilled teams handle install and styling in days, not weeks.
Final Walkthrough & Photography – Optional professional photos so you can list immediately.

Competitor Context
Generic competitors in the market often charge $6–$17 per sq ft for design, project management, and labor — before furniture costs. This means a 1,500 sq ft home could cost $9,000–$25,500 just in service fees, plus tens of thousands for furniture.
Bee Setups’ package pricing model ($995–$6,500 for design, project management, and labor) keeps costs predictable and timelines faster.
