Short-Let Apartment Interior Design in Lagos, Nigeria
Short-Let Apartment Interior Design in Lagos from My Space Design creates guest-ready interiors and furnishing plans for short-let and serviced apartments that photograph well and appeal to guests.
Short-Let Apartment Interior Design by My Space Design
Short-Let Apartment Interior Design in Lagos starts with the guest. Visitors choose a listing from a handful of photos, so the living room, bedroom and bathroom need a clear look that stands out on booking platforms. We plan each apartment around a strong theme, comfortable beds, good lighting, reliable storage and the small details guests notice, such as bedside sockets, mirror lighting and blackout curtains.
Landlords and investors need interiors that survive constant check-ins and check-outs. We specify scratch-resistant surfaces, stain-tolerant fabrics, sturdy furniture and finishes that housekeeping staff can clean quickly between stays. Every furnishing plan lists the items needed for a complete unit, from sofas and dining sets to kitchenware storage, so the apartment is ready to list as soon as the work is finished.
We design and build short-let units across Ipaja, Alimosho and the wider Lagos market, from single studios to blocks of serviced flats. We handle ceilings, feature walls, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, lighting, painting and furniture installation under one site supervisor. Owners with older flats can pair this service with Rental Property Interior Upgrade to refresh tired finishes before the new design goes in.

Scope of work
What our short-let apartment design covers
Theme and listing appeal
We develop a design theme for each unit, choosing a colour palette, feature wall, artwork and lighting that give your listing photos a distinctive, memorable look guests can recognise across booking sites.
Guest-focused layouts
We arrange beds, sofas, dining tables and work desks so guests move easily with luggage, find sockets where they need them and enjoy clear views of the TV from the main seating.
Durable finishes
We specify vinyl or porcelain flooring, washable paint, laminate joinery and stain-tolerant upholstery that keep each unit fresh through frequent guest turnover, luggage knocks and regular housekeeping in the humid Lagos climate.
Bedroom and bathroom comfort
We design bedrooms with quality mattresses, padded headboards, blackout curtains and bedside lighting, and bathrooms with good shower fittings, mirror lighting, towel storage and an extractor fan for ventilation, giving a hotel-standard feel.
Kitchen and storage planning
We plan compact kitchens with cabinets, worktops and appliance spaces, plus wardrobes and luggage areas, so guests on longer business or family stays can cook, unpack and keep the apartment tidy.
Complete furnishing schedule
Every Short-Let Apartment Interior Design in Lagos we deliver includes a schedule of furniture, linen, curtains, rugs, decor and fittings, with sizes and finishes, so purchasing and installation follow the approved design.
Our process
How we design and furnish a short-let apartment
- Step 1
Unit survey and goals
We visit the apartment, measure each room, check finishes and services, and discuss your target guests, nightly rate goals and the look you want for your listing.
- Step 2
Theme and furnishing plan
We present a design theme, furniture layout, mood board and 3D views of the main rooms, along with a furnishing list tailored to the size of the unit.
- Step 3
Estimate and approval
We prepare a cost estimate for construction, finishes and furnishing, agree the scope with you, and confirm the order of works before any materials are purchased.
- Step 4
Build, furnish and style
Our craftsmen complete ceilings, joinery, painting and lighting, then we install furniture, hang curtains, place decor and style each room so the apartment is ready for listing photographs.

Questions
Short-Let Apartment Interior Design FAQs
What makes a short-let apartment design successful?
Guests respond to a clear theme, comfortable beds, good lighting, reliable storage and spotless bathrooms. We design each unit around those needs, choose durable finishes for frequent turnover and style the rooms so the apartment looks inviting in listing photographs.
How much does short-let apartment interior design in Lagos cost?
The cost depends on the size of the unit, the scope of construction and the furniture and finishes you select. My Space Design prepares a cost estimate before work starts, covering design, building works and furnishing, so you can plan your investment clearly.
Do you supply and install the furniture?
Yes. Our furnishing schedule lists every item for the unit, and we can source, deliver and install furniture, curtains, rugs, linen and decor as part of the project, styling each room to match the approved design.
Can you design several apartments in one building?
Yes. We work with landlords and investors on multiple units, creating a shared design language with variations between apartments. Consistent materials and furniture make housekeeping, repairs and future replacement purchases easier across the whole building.
