Living Concept & Staging
A property at Lake Tegernsee is an investment.
The interior decides whether it pays off.
Guests book with their eyes first. And they review with their gut.
On platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com, photos make the decision in seconds. Properties that offer standard furnishings and landlord-beige lose — against apartments that deliver the Tegernsee feeling: natural materials, clear design, alpine warmth without kitsch. The price per night follows the interior. Almost always.
I help owners position their property so it delivers on what its location promises. No major renovation, no furniture-store walk-through without a plan — just a clear concept, executed step by step. Personal, regional, with an eye on return.
What makes a great interior for a holiday rental
It's not about spending a lot. It's about everything working together — and the guest feeling, the moment they walk in, that someone thought of them. That doesn't require a large budget, but it does require a clear hand.
- A lighting concept that creates warmth — not just illumination
- Textiles that suit the location and season
- Furniture that shows the space, not blocks it
- Regional materials and craftsmanship as anchors
- Décor that tells a story — not clutters
- Photographically convincing angles and arrangements
- Functional details that drive reviews: hooks, shelves, storage
What I do
Three ways to a property that converts
Holiday Rental Upgrade
Your apartment is furnished but reviews have plateaued and the price won't move upward? I analyse every room's impact and develop a targeted upgrade concept — from lighting to décor selection. No full reset, just surgical changes that take effect immediately.
Staging & Photo Preparation
Staging means: turning an empty or unconvincing property into an interior that stands out on booking platforms — in a single day. I arrange, adjust lighting, refine every detail until everything is ready for professional photography. The photos decide the first impression. The first impression decides the booking.
Décor & Accessory Curation
Sometimes very little is missing. The wrong cushions, too many small items, no colour concept — and even the most beautiful property feels cluttered. I curate: textiles, lighting, art objects, plants, regional craftsmanship. Everything coordinated. I accompany you shopping or source directly — depending on how much time you have.

How it works
From first conversation
to finished property
Initial Consultation
In person or by video. I listen, you tell me — what the property is, what it should become, what budget is realistic.
Assessment
I visit the property, photograph, measure, analyse spatial impact. From this I get a clear picture of what is genuinely needed.
Concept & Proposal
You receive a written interior concept and a transparent proposal — itemised by service, no surprises.
Execution & Styling
I handle sourcing, delivery and set-up. At the end: a property that's ready — for photography, for guests, for more.
Service area
Where I offer interior design
My focus is the Tegernsee valley. Projects in Rottach-Egern, Bad Wiessee, Gmund and Kreuth I take on regularly. For larger projects in the wider region — Schliersee, Miesbach, Rosenheim — please enquire.
Frequently asked
What people usually ask
What does interior design and staging cost for a holiday apartment at Tegernsee?
The scope varies considerably depending on the property — size, current state, extent of change required. After a free initial consultation and brief assessment I provide an individual proposal. No one-size-fits-all price that doesn't fit — exactly what your property needs.
How does an interior design project work?
First a conversation — in person or by video. Then I visit the property, analyse impact and potential, and create a concrete interior concept covering furniture, lighting and décor. On request I also handle sourcing, delivery and full on-site styling — until the property is ready for professional photography.
Does staging require buying all new furniture?
No — targeted additions are often sufficient. I look at what is already there, what can be reused, rearranged or replaced. Sometimes a new lighting concept, three cushions and a plant achieve more than a complete refurnishing.
Can you work on individual rooms or partial areas only?
Yes. Often the living area or bedroom is decisive for the first impression on booking platforms. If you know where the problem lies, we can address it precisely — without overhauling the entire property.
How quickly will I see results with a holiday apartment?
Staging and décor upgrades take effect immediately — in the photos that follow, and with the next guest who enters the apartment. Owners regularly report better reviews and the ability to raise the nightly rate without losing bookings.
Do you work with specific suppliers or brands?
I work independently — no exclusive ties to furniture stores or brands. That gives me the freedom to find the right pieces for each property: locally produced, from a design house or from the market, depending on what fits and what makes sense.
