Make Smarter Design Decisions — With Less Stress
Designing a short-term rental can feel like a second job.Â
With so many decisions to make — and guests to impress — it’s easy to feel stuck and second-guess everything.
My role is to simplify the process. Whether you’re starting fresh or reworking a space that isn’t performing, I’ll help you create a rental that’s cohesive, welcoming, and guest-ready — without the overwhelm.

Design Client and STR Owner
"Working with Quill Decor was invaluable in helping to update my dated, old looking cabin. Valerie's practical approach puts quality design in reach for every STR owner.”
Hi, I'm Val — Interior Designer & STR Design Expert
I’ve been an interior designer for nearly two decades, and for the past several years, my focus has been helping short-term rental hosts create truly memorable spaces.
I started my career studying interior design at Auburn and working in traditional design firms — but I found my calling in helping hosts like you bring vision and intention to their STRs.
Whether it’s a second home you love or an investment you want to elevate, thoughtful design makes all the difference. Through Quill Decor, I offer tailored design support to help you create a space that feels personal, polished, and high-performing — without the guesswork.
