Creating a positive ambience & adding tangible feelings into your rental property takes more than just a makeover and whispering loudly. The flow of your property design and storytelling should reflect the furniture pieces you choose to compliment the type guests that you target.

Transforming an Air BnB apartment into something inspiring & aspirational for guests can be all about the small touches and moulding the genuine personality of the Space (and owner/designers). Ambient Lounge Australia recently worked with interior designer Toneya Tangas for one such project; a well-located 1bedroom apartment that perfectly harmonizes the owner’s ethos with a mood that soothes the soul and draws from the vibe of the area.

St. Fitz apartments at 167 Fitzroy St. in St. Kilda is all about guest happiness … light-drenched, sustainable living with feel-good touches that compliment every corner. Surrounded by on-the-wall-goodness fine art photography by Tangas Residences - there is a sublime feeling of tranquility, reflection and positive celebration of all living beings.

Her choices of Ambient Lounge soft furniture pieces beautifully compliment the exposed concrete ceilings, beautiful houseplants and sustainable designer decor. The wide-open, high ceiling living room has a centerpiece Movie couch by ambient lounge in Black Sapphire fabric the contrasts the open weave and relaxes guests for gold class movie nights or their morning espresso. Neutrally seasonal, the couch can be warmed in winter by addition of cushions and throws and cool and fresh in summer.

The bedroom design is always a crucial for any accommodation to create the right ambience for a good night's rest. The addition of the linen-based Butterfly Sofa in Keystone Grey fabric with cool green cushion & matching bedding feels light and heavenly chilled. A reflective reading corner or just a peaceful place to get ready (slowly) in the morning adds to the reason why most guests rave about the space with 5-star reviews.
