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

Performance Velvet Platform Bed

Picked by Perla, Interior designer

“It’s the perfect combination. In the DR we say BBB (bueno, bonito, buen precio). It means good quality, a beautiful, contemporary design, and a 10/10 price. I love finding pieces like this that really hit design, quality, and budget all at once.”

Casi Egg Chair

Picked by Carol, Landscape designer

"I think it is versatile, works perfectly for porch areas, court seating and it looks great on pictures, very high end."

Storage Bench

Picked by Maksim, Landscape designer

"Dual function as a bench and storage box, very convenient. Perfect for placement near play areas and children's areas."

Jann Abstract Modern Area Rug

Picked by Fabiana, Interior designer

"I love this rug because it’s versatile, easy to clean, and instantly elevates the space with minimal effort."

Shift Sleeper Sofa

Picked by Dinah, Interior designer

"Made to do more with less, it goes from a modern sofa to a real queen-size bed in seconds—no awkward pullouts, no heavy lifting for guests."
