You're about to trust a designer with a furniture budget that can pass $30,000 and the photos guests judge you by. Before you book the free Brianna Michele Interiors consultation, here's what the studio publishes and what it doesn't.
Short answer: Brianna Michele Interiors is a founder-led short-term rental design studio run by Brianna, who moved into STR design in 2020. It sells Virtual Design, built in a five-day design sprint, and U.S.-only Full-Service Design. It doesn't publish design fees, but tells clients to budget $15 to $25 or more per square foot for furnishings.
Key takeaways:
- The studio reports more than 500 projects and lists 20 U.S. markets in its portfolio.
- Design fees aren't published. The furnishing budget of $15-$25+ per square foot excludes renovations and big amenities.
- Full-Service adds procurement, project management, installation, staging and a photoshoot. A branding and website add-on is optional.
- Brianna Michelle Interior Design, spelled with two Ls, is a different firm in Winter Park, Florida.
- Funkit's public timelines are 3-4 weeks for virtual design and 4-8 weeks for white-glove installation.
What is Brianna Michele Interiors, and who runs it?
Brianna Michele Interiors (BMI) is a boutique studio that designs mainly short-term rentals, starting from market research. It also takes on boutique hotels and a few homes.
The About page introduces the founder as Brianna Amigo, Founder and Creative Director, who personally leads every project. She writes that she started BMI in 2019 designing homes in Southern California, discovered short-term rentals in 2020 and bought a first rental with her husband around the same time. She also appears on The STR Sisterhood podcast, and a Brand & Market episode mentions her own property in Big Bear, California.
Naming note: Brianna Michelle Interior Design, with two Ls, is a separate licensed designer in Winter Park, Florida, per its Houzz profile. If you searched brianna michelle interiors, check which website you landed on.
What services does Brianna Michele offer?
BMI sells two design levels and one add-on. Every project starts with a market research report and a meeting with Brianna.
Per the Services page:
- Virtual Interior Design: mood boards, interior and exterior design boards, accent wall concepts, 2D floor plans, a linked shopping list, partner procurement support and a photography guide. You buy and install.
- Full-Service Interior Design: everything in Virtual, plus a 3D Matterport scan, procurement, contractor coordination, white-glove installation, amenity and outdoor build-out management, cleaning, staging and a photoshoot.
- Branding and Website Design (add-on): logo and visual identity, Instagram templates, a five-page Squarespace site and direct-booking integration with Lodgify or Hostfully.
The process runs in five stages: research report, a five-day design sprint, presentation and revisions, procurement and implementation, then launch. You receive the full design package once revisions are done and final payment is in.
How much does Brianna Michele Interiors cost?
Brianna Michele Interiors pricing for design isn't published on its website as of October 2026. The free consultation is where you get a quote.
What the Services FAQ does publish, as of October 2026:
- Furnishing budget: $15 to $25 or more per square foot for furnishings, décor and styling.
- Not included in that budget: renovations, construction, and big amenities such as hot tubs, saunas, pools and pickleball courts.
- Virtual timeline: most packages finish within the five-day design sprint, followed by a review period and final deliverables.
At that rate, a 1,500 square foot home works out to $22,500 to $37,500 or more in furnishings alone, before any design fee. For how designers price the fee itself, see our guide to what an Airbnb interior designer charges.
Bee Setups, a competing furnishing company, published a comparison post with its own estimates of BMI's fees. We couldn't match those figures to anything BMI publishes, so we left them out.
Where has Brianna Michele worked? Portfolio and markets
BMI reports more than 500 projects. Its portfolio lists 20 locations, from Sedona and Joshua Tree to Mount Desert, Maine, grouped as cabins, coastal retreats, desert escapes and city getaways.
Three case studies carry numbers:
- Columbia Place, Tulsa, Oklahoma: $162.1K annual revenue, $810 average daily rate, 61% occupancy.
- Enchanted Villa, Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania: $144.8K revenue, $822 average daily rate, 50% occupancy.
- Palmer Summit, McGaheysville, Virginia: $141.5K revenue, $863 average daily rate, 58% occupancy.
These are company-reported, with no stated time period or data source, as is the homepage claim of 30-50% revenue growth potential. Ask which months each figure covers.
What do public reviews say about Brianna Michele?
Independent coverage is thin. Here's what we found for brianna michele interiors reviews in October 2026:
- BBB: a BBB search returned no results.
- Trustpilot: no company page exists at trustpilot.com/review/briannamicheleinteriors.com.
- Google: a Maps search for the studio's name returned the Florida firm. We found no Google listing for BMI.
- Houzz and Birdeye: the profiles under this name belong to Brianna Michelle Interior Design in Florida. The Birdeye page shows 4.6 stars from 25 reviews for that firm, not for BMI.
- Yelp and Reddit: both blocked our requests, so we can't say what they contain.
The testimonials on BMI's own site are chosen by the company and signed with first names. Ask for two references from projects in your market.
Why does your choice of design firm matter?
The firm you pick shapes your furniture spend, your launch date and the first photo a guest sees. A plan built for the wrong guest costs you twice: once to buy it, again to replace it.
It also decides how much lands on you. With a virtual plan, you or a local crew receive, assemble and place every item. A full-service team takes that on.
Who is Brianna Michele best for, and who should look elsewhere?
BMI fits owners who want a research report and a defined guest before any design, with direct access to the founder. It also suits hosts who want a brand and direct-booking website beyond Airbnb.
Look elsewhere, or compare carefully, if:
- You want to see a design fee before a call. BMI doesn't publish one.
- You need full installation outside the U.S. Full-Service operates only in the U.S.
- You're working with a small furnishing budget. At $15 or more per square foot, a large home adds up fast.
When should you hire a firm like Brianna Michele?
Bring in a firm like this as early as you can. BMI's FAQ recommends reaching out before construction or major purchases, and for turnkey homes, as soon as you go under contract so planning happens during escrow.
The other trigger is a running listing that keeps losing to comps with stronger photos.
Brianna Michele pros and cons
The trade-offs are pricing transparency and how results are reported.
Pros:
- Market research and a guest profile come before design.
- A published five-day design sprint for the virtual plan.
- Founder-led consultations, plus a branding and website add-on.
- Full-Service includes staging and a photoshoot.
Cons:
- No published design fees.
- Performance figures are company-reported without a stated time period.
- Little independent review coverage, and a similar Florida name muddies search.
- The full-service timeline isn't published.
How does Brianna Michele compare with Funkit?
Both firms design short-term rentals and sell a virtual and a full-service option. Both even sell "scroll-stopping" design (here's what we mean by it). The practical differences are scope, timelines and support.
What we see in Funkit projects: Most owners decide on one question: who does the installation. We build our two packages around that choice. Virtual clients get a 30-day support period, and every Funkit client gets free listing setup and optimization at launch.
- Coverage: BMI offers Full-Service in the U.S. and Virtual worldwide. Funkit works with clients in all 50 states.
- Virtual option: BMI's design sprint takes five days, followed by a review period of unstated length. Funkit Virtual Design typically takes 3-4 weeks, including concept, mood boards and a full plan.
- Full service: BMI doesn't publish a full-service timeline. Funkit's White-Glove Install Service runs 4-8 weeks to guest-ready.
- After launch: BMI includes a photoshoot in Full-Service and sells branding as an add-on. Funkit gives virtual clients 30 days of support and all clients free listing setup and optimization.
- Pricing: neither firm publishes design fees; both quote after a call.
What are the alternatives to Brianna Michele?
