Casa Alpaca Furnishing Playbook

Furnishing Gear We Use in Our Rentals

We operate design-forward short-term rentals and are building an automated system to generate room layouts, lock in SKU lists, and keep every unit stocked with the same dependable gear. This page outlines the furniture, linens, and cleaning tools we rely on today and will soon showcase live product picks for each category.

How we furnish

We prioritize fast installs, easy cleaning, and guest-friendly comfort. Standardized kits mean fewer surprises for cleaners and a consistent look across every property.

Real-world picks

The recommendations here come from gear we actually use: contract-grade seating, durable linens, and cleaning tools that hold up to weekly turnovers.

Affiliate note: As we integrate purchase links on this page, we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases on partner sites such as Amazon.

How this page fits into our STR workflow

Spec

We maintain repeatable room templates (bedroom, living, kitchen) so sourcing stays consistent even as we scale to new cities.

Automate

An internal service will generate SKU lists, dimensions, and budgets per room, then push curated product data to this page.

Operate

Field teams install from standardized kits, and we refresh linens/cleaning gear on a predictable cadence to keep reviews high.
