LOFT worked closely with this client to bring their serviced accommodation to life. Holly House, a three-bedroom property, was getting a huge upgrade and LOFT were there to provide our expert Serviced Accommodation interior design and furniture service.

When it came to refurbishing the property, LOFT advised on colour choices for the rooms. As well as this, we worked with client's contractor to design in built cupboards and shelving in living room.

LOFT then provided a bespoke quote for furniture ideal for the Serviced Accommodation industry and tailored to Holly House.

LOFT came in towards the end of the project, when the property was almost complete.

Despite the tight timeframe, we were able to create a tasteful bespoke quote based on the modern building.

Our interior design choices were dictated by what would fit in the space. We added some pops of colour throughout to add even more personality to the property.

In total, it only took us 2 days to fully furnish, deliver and install the apartments.

Build to Rent developments are purpose-designed for rental only, typically with professional management, shared amenities, and longer tenancy options. Unlike traditional buy-to-let, BTR focuses on community creation, superior amenities, and operational efficiency across multiple units to maximise tenant satisfaction and retention.

BTR furnishing requires a strategic balance between durability, style, and cost-effectiveness across multiple units. The focus is on creating a cohesive design language throughout the development while allowing for customisation options to appeal to different tenant segments. Furnishing packages often need to be scalable for developments with 100+ units.

Current high-performing BTR developments typically feature co-working spaces, wellness areas, communal lounges, and technology integration. The most successful amenity spaces are those that create genuine community engagement rather than simply providing facilities. Furnishing these spaces requires specialised knowledge of commercial-grade products that can withstand intensive use while maintaining a residential feel.

Strategic interior design establishes your brand identity, creates memorable spaces that resonate with your target demographic, and optimizes the functionality of both private and shared areas. A cohesive design approach can reduce void periods, command premium rents, and create a distinctive position in a competitive market.

For BTR properties, a 5-7 year replacement cycle is typical for apartment furniture, while high-traffic common areas may require refreshing every 3-5 years. Creating a phased replacement plan helps distribute costs while ensuring properties maintain their appeal. Many BTR operators work with partners like LOFT to develop strategic refurbishment schedules.
