Questions about interior design in Riga
How much does rental apartment interior design cost in Riga?
A design project for a rental apartment with Valerija Gelfere starts at 10 € per m², for example from 400 € for a 40 m² apartment. 3D visualization starts at 5 € per m², and a guest house is quoted after a meeting.
What should I consider when fitting out a guest house?
In a guest house, materials and furniture must stand up to many guests and frequent cleaning, so durable floors, washable walls and the same bed linen for every room make sense. Each room needs a good bed, a light and socket by the bed, space for a suitcase and sound insulation from the corridor.
How do I furnish an apartment for short-term rental?
A rental apartment needs a simple layout, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen area and somewhere guests can unpack. The owner’s supplies, such as bed linen and cleaning products, need a separate locked cupboard.
How do I make my Airbnb apartment stand out in the listing?
Guests see the photos first, so the interior needs one clear idea, good lighting and a few details that set the apartment apart. It matters that guests find the same thing in person as in the photos.
What materials are best for a rental apartment?
Durable and easy-care: vinyl or laminate flooring, washable paint, non-porous worktops and upholstery that can be cleaned or has removable covers. Fragile and very pale surfaces are better kept for decor.
Can I arrange design and renovation of a rental apartment while living abroad?
Yes. Valerija Gelfere also works remotely and runs the whole project: the renovation is carried out by trusted crews and companies she works with regularly, and she supervises the work herself. You can communicate in English, Latvian or Russian.
Does the designer help choose furniture for a rental apartment?
Yes. Valerija Gelfere selects furniture, lighting, textiles and decor for your budget, so the apartment can be let straight after the renovation.
Can I see what the apartment will look like before renovation?
Yes, with a 3D visualization in Homestyler, from 5 € per m². It lets you compare colours, materials and furniture layouts before any money goes into the renovation.
Tell us about your space: floor area, address and when you plan the renovation.
