An Airbnb furnishing service built for operators, not showrooms.

01Module / 01

Built for the listing photo

Every render is composed for the hero shot first. Sightlines, light, and styling are tuned so your listing photographs convert above category benchmark on Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com.

02Module / 02

Guest-grade durability

Ludwig favors SKUs proven to survive 200+ check-ins. Performance velvets, sealed stone, replaceable cushions, and commercial-grade rugs — no precious one-of-ones that break on turnover three.

03Module / 03

Whole-property scopes

Studios to five-bedrooms. Ludwig coordinates living, sleeping, dining, workspace, kitchen smalls, art, lighting, and linens against a single budget envelope — one PO, one place to track every shipment.

04Module / 04

Direct-to-door logistics

We ship vendor-direct to your property, with items dispatched as they become available so nothing waits on the slowest SKU. Every shipment is tracked in one place.

Process

How to furnish an Airbnb in three weeks.

Most hosts spend six to nine weeks sourcing furniture across a dozen retailers, chasing freight, and rebuilding flat-pack IKEA at midnight. Ludwig collapses the whole thing into four steps.

  1. 01Step / 01

    Brief

    Send the address, photos, target ADR, and a mood reference. Ludwig replies inside the hour with clarifying questions and a package tier recommendation.

  2. 02Step / 02

    Render + line items

    Within 5 business days: photoreal renders of every room, full SKU list, itemized budget, and delivery ETA. Revise before a single item is ordered.

  3. 03Step / 03

    Source + freight

    We place every order, track every shipment, and manage vendor exceptions from the vendor side.

  4. 04Step / 04

    Delivery, tracked

    Items ship vendor-direct as they become available, tracked in one place. Assembly and placement are handled by you or your on-site team.

Durability rubric

What holds up in a short-term rental.

Every SKU on the Ludwig menu has to survive turnover. That rules out most of what you'll find in a design-forward retailer. Here's the frame we use.

Sofas
Performance-fabric (Crypton, Sunbrella, or InsideOut) with removable, machine-washable covers. Sinuous-spring or 8-way hand-tied — no webbing decks.
Beds
Solid wood or steel frames with slatted foundations. Never particle-board platforms. Upholstered headboards in performance velvet only.
Dining
Sealed stone, solid wood with catalyzed conversion varnish, or high-pressure laminate. Skip glass, marble, and raw oak.
Rugs
Low-pile, machine-washable in high-traffic zones. Wool or wool-blend in bedrooms. Nothing white, nothing shag.
Kitchen smalls
Ceramic, tempered glass, or melamine — never bone china. Stainless flatware. Cast iron and clad stainless cookware only.
Art & lighting
Framed prints (never canvas), plug-in sconces with hardwire-optional kits, LED bulbs pre-installed at 2700K.
For operators

Landlord & multi-unit furniture packages.

Fulhaus furnishes portfolios for STR operators, build-to-rent developers, and mid-term rental platforms across North America. If you're standing up ten identical two-bedroom units, we template the package once and repeat it — same SKUs, same spec, same photo standard, unit after unit.

Volume pricing kicks in at five units. One invoice per property, items shipped as they become available, and standardized turnover kits (linens, kitchen smalls, consumables) sized to your cleaning cadence. Reach Ludwig with a rent roll and we'll size a program inside 48 hours.

FAQ

Airbnb furnishing, answered.

How much does it cost to furnish an Airbnb?

+

A one-bedroom short-term rental typically costs $8,000–$14,000 to furnish end-to-end (furniture, lighting, art, rugs, linens, kitchen smalls). Two- to three-bedroom homes generally land between $15,000–$32,000. Ludwig sizes each package to nightly rate, target ADR, and expected occupancy so the furnishing pays back inside the first booking season.

What's included in an Airbnb furniture package?

+

Every Ludwig package covers living room, bedrooms, dining, workspace, lighting, rugs, art, window treatments, bed linens, bath linens, and kitchen smalls (cookware, dinnerware, glassware, utensils). We ship vendor-direct to the property, dispatching items as they become available so nothing waits on the slowest SKU.

How long does it take to furnish a short-term rental?

+

Design and sourcing take 5–7 business days after brief. Manufacturing and freight run 2–4 weeks depending on SKU mix. Most hosts are photographing the listing within 3 weeks of signing.

What furniture holds up best in an Airbnb?

+

Performance-fabric sofas with removable, machine-washable covers; solid-wood or metal-framed beds (never particle-board platforms); sealed stone or laminate dining tops; commercial-grade rugs; and ceramic or melamine dinnerware. Ludwig avoids linen upholstery, glass tabletops, and any SKU without a replaceable-parts warranty.

Do you work with landlords and property managers?

+

Yes. Fulhaus is the furnishing partner for multi-unit STR operators, mid-term rental portfolios, and landlord-owned Airbnbs across North America. We offer volume pricing, standardized package templates for repeat unit types, and simple billing across properties.

Can you match a specific aesthetic or brand?

+

Yes. Send a Pinterest board, three reference listings, or a written brief — Ludwig calibrates palette, silhouette, and material story to your target guest. We deliver a full render before a single item is ordered.
