✨ Guests don’t just book a space—they book an experience. During our visit to The Brass Hand @the.brass.hand in Clintonville, Ohio, we were reminded how powerful local storytelling can be. From a lush succulent potting station🌱 to curated collections of handcrafted brass décor, teas, and botanicals, The Brass Hand isn’t just a shop—it’s a sensory experience. Each piece tells a story about the community, the artisans, and the region itself. This is exactly why Empty Table Interiors integrates local touches into our styling for STRs, MTRs, boutique BnBs, and micro-resorts. When we source from places like The Brass Hand, we’re doing more than adding beautiful décor—we’re: 1️⃣ Building Authenticity & Trust – Locally sourced pieces make a space feel intentional, not cookie-cutter. 2️⃣ Boosting Guest Immersion – Guests connect with the local culture, giving them a sense of place. 3️⃣ Driving ROI Through Memories – A property that tells a story becomes a destination that inspires 5⭐ reviews and repeat bookings. Local details like those from The Brass Hand transform a rental from “just a stay” into a lasting experience. At ETI, we bridge the gap between design and guest experience, helping hosts style with purpose while supporting local artisans and businesses. 📲 Ready to bring your property’s story to life?

✨ Want to create a rental that guests rave about? Start local. Guests want more than stylish furniture—they want to feel connected to where they’re staying. When your space reflects local culture, it builds trust, creates memories, and sets you apart from a sea of generic listings. Here are 4 simple ways to weave local storytelling into your rental and boost ROI: 1️⃣ Regional Art – Artwork is more than décor—it’s storytelling. Local pieces give guests a sense of place and spark conversation. Pro Tip: Rotate art seasonally or highlight a local artist in your guidebook. 2️⃣ Handcrafted Décor – Mass-produced items are easy to find, but artisan-made pieces add depth and authenticity. Pro Tip: Choose functional items like handmade mugs or coasters guests use daily. 3️⃣ Local Treats or Beverages – A taste of the region makes a warm first impression and encourages guests to share their experience. Pro Tip: Include a note about the vendor so guests can visit during their stay. 4️⃣ Neighborhood Guide Essentials – Curate a personalized guide to hidden gems, shops, and experiences only locals know. When you blend thoughtful styling with authentic local touches, you create an immersive guest experience that drives: 💰 Higher nightly rates 🌟 Glowing reviews 📆 Repeat bookings 🏆 A property that stands out At Empty Table Interiors, we help STRs, MTRs, boutique BnBs, and micro-resorts style with intention so every stay connects and converts. 📲 Book your free Discovery Call today to start styling smarter. #STRStyling #MTRStyling #BoutiqueBnB #MicroResorts #GuestExperience #VacationRentalStyling #LocalDesign #StyleRefinedWithYourGuestInMind #EmptyTableInteriors #AirbnbHostHelp #VacationRentalTips
