After years of working in the world of interior design, I’ve come to appreciate the power of creativity and innovation in transforming spaces into memorable experiences. Hotels, in particular, have always held a special place in my heart, not just for their luxurious furnishings but for the thoughtful and inventive ways they cater to their guests.
There’s a certain magic that comes with staying in a well-designed hotel—a blend of comfort, style, and surprise that’s hard to replicate elsewhere. So, when it comes to the world of hospitality, I’ve often found myself wondering, “Why don’t Airbnb owners do this for their guests?” Well, they don’t have to.
