The Yellowwood Atelier promise

Higher ADR. Higher occupancy.
Less of your time.

A short-term rental designed by an operator. Beautiful enough to book itself, considered enough to free your week, structured to compound forced appreciation over time.

What we do

From the brief
to the booking.

  1. 01
    Strategic Direction
    Yellowwood Atelier analyzes your market, your guest, and the listings you're competing against. Every design choice that follows answers to performance: ADR, occupancy, forced appreciation.
  2. 02
    Editorial Interior Design
    Refined, photogenic, magazine-quality short-term rental interiors. Specified down to the cushion weight, the light at sunset, the texture of the towels. The room becomes the marketing.
  3. 03
    Virtual Design Direction & Self-Install Package
    A design isn't done at the moodboard. Yellowwood Atelier delivers a full remote design package — a room-by-room staging book, sourcing spec, photography brief, and video walkthroughs — that your team or a local installer executes. Every choice specified, nothing left to guess.
  4. 04
    Hospitality Details
    Where most firms stop. Yellowwood Atelier curates the welcome basket, the playlist, the bath products, the in-property guide. The moments guests photograph and post about.
  5. 05
    Launch & Marketing Package
    A go-live program: listing copy, OTA optimization (Airbnb / Vrbo / direct), launch-day social, press outreach, and the first 30-day pricing strategy. The work that turns a finished property into a fully booked one.
  6. 06
    Operations Handoff
    A seamless transition to our sister brand, Yellowwood Properties, so the short-term rental you commissioned becomes a property that performs every night.

We hand you a wow stay.

Where design ends, most agencies stop. Yellowwood Atelier keeps going. Through the linens, the coffee, the playlist, the welcome, and into ongoing operations through our sister brand. One brief. One team. Hosted-ready.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

01What is Yellowwood Atelier?

Yellowwood Atelier is a short-term rental design and brand studio that designs Airbnb properties, boutique hotels, and branded residences. Unlike traditional design firms that hand off a finished interior, Yellowwood Atelier extends through property branding, hospitality details, and an operational handoff to Yellowwood Properties. Design, brand, detail, and host-ready in one engagement.

02What does atelier mean?

Atelier (French, n.) means a designer's or artist's studio: a workshop where work is made by hand, with care, by craft. Yellowwood chose the name to signal that this is studio-led design, not factory-style agency work.

03How is Yellowwood Atelier different from other short-term rental design firms?

Most STR design firms stop at the design handoff. Beautiful room, your problem from there. Yellowwood Atelier bridges the gap: we design the interior, build the property brand, curate the hospitality details (linens, scent, welcome, playlist), and hand off seamlessly to our sister brand Yellowwood Properties for ongoing operations. We're operators, not just designers. We know what books because we book it ourselves.

04What kind of properties does Yellowwood Atelier design?

Yellowwood Atelier designs short-term rentals (Airbnb, Vrbo), boutique hotels, B&Bs, branded residences, and hospitality experiences. The common thread: spaces designed for the visit, not for residents.

05What results does Yellowwood Atelier deliver?

Editorial interior design directly raises ADR (average daily rate), occupancy, and forced appreciation. Recent Yellowwood Atelier projects have lifted ADR by 47% over prior pricing and reached 90% first-month occupancy with 5.0 average review scores.

06How do I work with Yellowwood Atelier?

By application only. Yellowwood Atelier accepts 4–6 engagements per season. Application is free, response within 5 business days, and acceptance is based on alignment with the studio's design and performance standards.
