Design Audit
A Clear, Actionable Plan to Elevate Your Rental
If you’ve launched your rental but something feels off — or reviews aren’t where they should be — a Design Audit can help. I’ll evaluate your property inside and out: the aesthetics, the amenities, and the guest experience.
We’ll start with a call to talk through your goals and budget. Then I’ll dive deep, creating a tailored plan with visual inspiration and specific changes to help your space shine.

Design Consulting
Collaborative Design Support for the Hands-On Host
You love the idea of designing your rental but need a second opinion from someone who gets what makes a space truly work — visually and functionally. That’s where I come in.
Whether you're stuck on paint colors, refining your vision boards, or figuring out what to keep, I’m here to help you stay confident, creative, and on budget — every step of the way.

Seriously amazing...Working with Valerie Quill at Quill Decor has been an absolute delight! From the moment I first approached her about designing the interior of my short-term rental property in Newton, Wisconsin, she has exceeded my expectations in every way. Valerie not only guided me in the right design choices to meet my personal preferences (this is our second home) that would also be appealing to guests, but she was also price-conscious, ensuring we stayed within our budget.
Her thoughtful approach made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for creating spaces that are both stylish and functional. As an added, plus, she provided us with a list of essential items to keep in our home and w ith guidance on branding and showcasing our property on the various platforms.
For any newcomer to the short-term rental business, I would advise you to hire a professional such as Valerie as a trusted partner and guide in the process of setting up your investment for success. Thanks to her expertise, my rental property now stands out, attracting more guests and receiving fantastic reviews. I highly recommend Valerie and Quill Decor for any design needs!"

Valerie and the Quill Decor staff did an amazing job in designing, furnishing, and staging a home that we recently remodeled for use as an Airbnb. I couldn't be happier with the process or with the finished look. I'm so grateful to have had her help and guidance on this project.
