Every Friday, five Funkit designers each pick one item they’d actually use in an Airbnb.
No trends. No fluff. Just things that work.

This week’s picks

Cheetah Print Rug

Picked by Morgan, Interior designer

"I love this cheetah rug because it adds such a cozy, vintage inspired layer to a space. The warm tones and playful pattern make every room feel inviting, and layering rugs is an easy way to get that lived in comfort without spending a lot. The spots make it forgiving of messy guests."

3-Piece Wicker Outdoor Bistro Set

Picked by Alejandrina, Landscape designer

"This leather-looking chairs set is a perfect fit to elevate small spaces, such as a balcony or a small porch, and are foldable in case you need to storage them away."

Metal Table Lamp

Picked by Isbela, Interior designer

"I love this lamp for Airbnb's because its golden design seamlessly fits any theme, adding instant elegance. It’s a true design lifesaver, effortlessly elevating any space. Plus, it photographs beautifully and provides that “wow” factor guests remember. Beyond aesthetics, its metallic finish is durable and easy to maintain, perfect for frequent guest turnover, while its warm light creates a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall experience."

Striped Indoor / Outdoor Rug

Picked by Salvador, Landscape designer

"I love it because it usually goes really well in the projects and textures, and pumps the energy immediatelly."

Marble Chess Board & Pieces

Picked by Sofía, Interior Designer

"It is perfect as it double as decor and game board, a unique touch to the space!"
