Interior Design Ideas & Trends
Advice and inspiration from the studio — on comfort-centric interiors, Parisian style and designing for life in Dubai.
Studio PASE writes for one reader in particular: the investor who has bought, or is about to buy, an apartment in Dubai to let on a short-term basis. Most interior-design advice is written for someone decorating their own home. A short-term rental is a different brief — the interior is a product that has to photograph well, host strangers comfortably and hold up to constant turnover — and the articles here are written from that angle.
The recurring themes are practical. What it actually costs to furnish an Airbnb in Dubai, and what drives that number. The furnishing mistakes that quietly cost bookings — and how much cheaper they are to avoid than to fix. How design decisions feed through to listing photos, guest reviews and the nightly rate a unit can hold. And how to treat a short-term rental interior as an asset that has to perform for years, not a one-off decorating job.
Alongside the Dubai short-term rental material, the journal also covers the studio’s wider work — comfort-centric interior design, and the Parisian and Haussmann projects that shape how Studio PASE approaches proportion, light and detail. Together they show how the studio thinks, whichever side of the portfolio a project sits on.
Investors who want the tools rather than the reading can go straight to the Airbnb furnishing budget planner and the Dubai Airbnb investor hub, which bring the same thinking together in one place.
