DESIGNED. STAGED. BOOKED.
Serviced accommodation setup in Birmingham, designed to earn more per night
We design, furnish, style and photograph your unit, so it goes live looking its best with as few days off the market as possible.
Interior designer and commercial photographer. One team, start to finish.
THE PROBLEM
Your listing is judged in a thumbnail
The thumbnail decides
Dark or badly framed photos lose the click before a guest ever reads your description.
Generic interiors compete on price
Bland, forgettable rooms leave you discounting the nightly rate to fill the calendar.
Closed days cost money
Every day a unit is off the market is revenue you don't get back.
How it works
Designed. Staged. Booked.
01
You see the finished unit before anything is bought. Moodboard, 3D visual and an itemised budget for you to approve. Your unit keeps taking bookings while we plan.

02
We paint, furnish and style the unit ourselves, on site. It's back live by the agreed date, or we take £100 off our fee for every day we're late.

WHO DOES THE WORK
The people who design your unit are the people who do the work on site
We're Gulnar and Fezzy, a husband and wife team based in Birmingham. Between us we cover the whole job: design, sourcing, the hands-on work and the photography that gets the booking. No subcontracted stylists, no handovers between companies.
Gulnar
INTERIOR DESIGNER
Gulnar handles design, space planning and 3D visuals. She runs a CAD and SketchUp drafting practice, so every layout is measured and drawn before anything is bought. On site, she leads the styling.
Fezzy
COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER
Fezzy runs a corporate photography business and shoots every finished unit. He knows what makes a listing photo earn the click: light, angles and the order the images appear in. On site, he's painting, building and hauling alongside Gulnar.
We want to be the team you call for every unit.
Once we know your standards, your guests and your budget, each new unit gets quicker and easier to get live.

Only for the days we're on site: typically 2 to 4 for a Refresh, 5 to 10 for a Full Transformation and 7 to 10 for a Launch. Design and ordering happen while it's still taking bookings, and we agree the date it goes back live before we start.
-
You approve the moodboard, 3D visual and every item before we buy anything. If the finished room doesn't match what you approved, we put it right.
