A
temporary furnished apartment should be functional and easy to clean and
maintain. But it also has to be comfortable. After all, your tenant should feel
comfortable there for a while.
There
is a fine line between being minimalist, sterile or partially furnished.
Tenants, the majority of whom come from abroad, are not just looking for an
apartment but a temporary home. Temporary apartments may only be rented to
people who come to Berlin to work here or for learning or training purposes.
Many have stressful jobs. The apartment is your retreat, where you can relax
and recharge your batteries. That is why you should consider the practical and
emotional needs of the tenant when furnishing. Create a cozy atmosphere by
using textiles in which your tenant feels comfortable.
Carpets:
For
years, carpets and other textiles were frowned upon in modern homes.
Fortunately, this trend is over. A carpet - ideally in front of the
sofa-divides the room, creates a cozy atmosphere, and, like all textiles,
improves room acoustics. Unfortunately, many owners still use carpets too
sparingly because the beautiful parquet floor should be visible, for example,
in the hallway too. A carpet or runner is also recommended here because this
prevents damage and heavy wear and tear. In any case, it is important to have a
carpet in front of the sofa.
Curtains
and drapes:
Curtains
are important for many tenants. Blinds or shutters can often be the better
solution. You don't want someone across the street to be able to look into the
brightly lit apartment in the evening. Curtains also improve the room acoustics
and help make the living space look more comfortable. When choosing curtains,
pay attention to the color. It would be best if you avoided too harsh contrasts
to the color of the walls. Curtains that are too long should be shortened
because curtains that are upset do not look good and get dirty quickly.
Bedspread
for the bed
An
attractive bedspread and matching pillows put your bedroom in the right light.
Make sure the bedspread is big enough and covers the whole bed.
It
looks better in photos when very voluminous duvets and pillows are hidden in
the closet for the photo session, and the bedspread and pillows are only draped
over the mattress.
Pillows
are not to be underestimated:
Decorate
the sofa with pillows in a contrasting color and if you use different colors,
make sure they go together.
The
lighting of the living room:
Many
landlords pay too little attention to lighting. That's a shame because the
light is extremely important when it comes to creating an atmosphere.
Instead
of just one lamp per room - always on the ceiling and almost always in the
middle of the room - you should opt for a concept with different light sources
and types of light: work light on the desk, reading light on the sofa or
armchair, several table and floor lamps for mood lighting. Here you must buy
luminaires based on their appearance and consider their performance.
Decoration:
It
would help if you didn't do without a few selected decorative elements. The
details in an apartment make all the difference.
Furnished
apartments without any decoration look uncomfortable; apartments with too much
decoration, on the other hand, can quickly appear overloaded and restless. It
would help if you, therefore, concentrated on a few selected pieces. Decorative
elements should not be too small and, above all, always be arranged in groups
instead of individually.
Images:
Views
of Berlin from the furniture store are the roaring deer of the furnished
rental. The number of holiday homes targeting tourists is particularly high.
For the rental of furnished apartments, pictures should be selected a little
more carefully.

You
can go wrong with hanging pictures. Invest a few minutes and read the
information from the living experts on hanging pictures in union complex. Ensure that you do not choose pictures that are
too small and always hang in pairs or groups and not too high but at eye level.

Invest
in quality with temporary living
It
is worth investing in the quality of the basic equipment right from the start.
After all, you want the furniture and appliances to last for many years and
bring joy to many tenants. Therefore, it does not make sense to save on the
initial investment and only buy very cheap furniture and the cheapest
electrical appliances. Good tenants have demands. It doesn't always have to be
high-end, but it should be quality. In our experience, tenants are more careful
with furniture when it comes to quality products.
