Experience Strategy, Space Planning & Interior Design that strengthens performance
We work with short term rental (STR) owners in the U.S.A. and UK to create spaces that photograph beautifully and feel effortless to stay in - increasing bookings, strengthening reviews, and achieving higher nightly rates.
From guest experience strategy and intelligent space planning to interior design and sourcing, we turn properties into standout stays that perform commercially.
Our service is personal and grounded in years of experience shaping spaces that truly work.
Projects
// Blue Ridge, Georgia //
“Working with Kate from Stitch Collective completely changed the trajectory of our Airbnb in Georgia. We were honestly at the point of reluctantly preparing to sell the property because it was underperforming and losing money. As a last-ditch effort, we decided to bring Kate on for space planning and design, specifically to convert our garage into a large bonus game room/speakeasy and to refine and elevate the bedrooms we already had.
What Kate delivered went far beyond anything we expected. Her design vision brought the entire property to life and gave it a true “wow” factor that guests now book for.
Since relaunching, we’ve gone from about $90K in annual revenue (and struggling) to $125K, with projections to hit $165K this year.
More importantly, Kate helped us turn around a property we were ready to walk away from and made it something we’re genuinely proud of and excited about again.
Because of Stitch Collective, we were able to keep this property, and that’s something we’ll always be grateful for.
If you’re on the fence about investing in great design and space planning, this is your sign. It absolutely changed everything for us.”

Turning underused space into an 80% + revenue increase.
When bookings on this existing STR slowed and areas of the property sat unused, the owners saw an opportunity - transform a garage and storage room into a standout space that would attract larger groups and justify stronger pricing.
// Riverglow Retreat // Gold Bar, Washington //
A stunning site with 2 separate cabins overlooking the Skykomish river, the owners wanted to create a design-led luxury escape. Every detail was intentionally built to feel warm, immersive, and a little unreal against the backdrop of the Skykomish and Mount Index.

The Brief
Optimize footprint to comfortably accommodate 4 people per cabin
Intelligently plan layouts to feel spacious and make the most of the incredible views.
Add a shower to each bathroom - a challenge as both were small
Include an immersive cosy space to watch movies.
Create a bold, design-led space that stands out in a crowded market
The Result
From the owner…
“For us, it wasn’t just about ROI (though that was definitely one aim) - it was important that we created something that truly stood out and that we could be proud of.
We’re thrilled with what Kate at Stitch Collective created for us.
Just 2 months after launching we’re seeing Riverglow fully booked a couple of months in advance, with repeated 5 star reviews.
We’re extremely proud of the incredible feedback we’re receiving and the joy that Riverglow is bringing to everyone who stays there.”

Stitch Collective truly listened to what we wanted and were a joy to work with. We’ve seen such a big return on the new design - our property is now in profit which felt impossible before the project.
