Apartment Design for Rent in Lviv: A Smart Real Estate Investment
Designing an interior for an investment property is fundamentally different from renovating “for yourself.” Here, profitability, universal aesthetics, and durability take precedence. The commercial design studio SPACE DESIGN presents a new completed project. If you’re interested in professional design for a rental apartment, Lviv is a city with enormous tourism and business potential. We help investors create properties that rent out faster and command significantly higher rents than the market average.
A comprehensive approach: “photogenicity” and ergonomics.
Competition in the long-term rental market and on international platforms such as Airbnb and Booking is constantly increasing. Renters choose accommodations based on what they see in photos. That’s why our main goal is to make the interior visually appealing (Instagram-worthy) yet highly practical.
During the architectural design phase, we redesigned the space to maximize the usable area:
Open-concept kitchen and living room: Creates a sense of spaciousness even in a small apartment.
A Full-Sized Sleeping Area: Instead of uncomfortable pull-out sofas, we always try to include a comfortable bed with an orthopedic mattress.
Well-designed storage areas: Built-in cabinets that don’t clutter the space but hold everything you need.
Vandal-Proof Solutions: How to Create a Durable Design for a Rental Apartment in Lviv.
Understanding every investor’s biggest headache—the cost of repairs—we minimize the expenses associated with renovating a property after tenants move out. To do this, we use specialized materials. The floors are covered with quartz vinyl (SPC laminate) or porcelain tile—both of which are resistant to moisture, scratches, and impacts.
The walls are painted with a washable paint of the highest durability class instead of wallpaper, which makes it easy to repair localized damage. The bathroom features reliable built-in fixtures and large-format tiles with minimal grout lines for quick and easy cleaning.
How we work on a project
- Introduction: we discuss the task, budget and timeline and visit the premises or plot.
- Contract and brief: we define the function of each zone and your style preferences.
- Design development: layout, concept and 3D visualizations of every space.
- Technical drawings: a complete documentation package for the builders.
- Specification and procurement: selection of materials, furniture, lighting and appliances.
- Implementation: author’s supervision so the result matches the visualizations.
This sequence makes the renovation predictable: decisions are made at the design stage rather than on the building site, so there are far fewer reworks and unplanned costs.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an interior design project cost?
A full residential design project starts at $45 per m² in Ukraine and at 200 PLN net per m² in Poland. It includes layouts, 3D visualizations of every room, technical drawings and specifications.
Do I need author’s supervision?
We recommend it for any renovation: the designer visits the site regularly, checks the work against the drawings and resolves issues with contractors. Supervision costs $200 per month in Lviv and 1,500 PLN net per month in Warsaw, with a weekly site visit.
Can we work together from another city or country?
Yes. We have offices in Lviv and Warsaw and work with clients from other cities and countries online: meetings, approvals and documentation are all handled remotely.
What do you need to get started?
A floor plan or measurements, a few photos and your wishes on style and budget. At the first meeting, we put together a brief and propose the stages of work.
Furniture and Lighting: Versatility and Coziness.
Furniture in a rental apartment should be stylish yet durable. We prefer clean lines and neutral colors (gray, white, wood), adding bright accents with decor and textiles that are easy to replace.
A significant portion of the cabinetry in this project was created through our furniture design and manufacturing service. The use of high-quality hardware ensures that the kitchen and cabinets will last for many years without losing their appearance. The cozy atmosphere is enhanced by multi-level lighting: from bright general lighting to intimate evening lighting.
Why should you hire SPACE DESIGN to design a rental apartment in Lviv?
A well-designed rental space is a tool that directly impacts your ROI (return on investment). The right interior design allows you to rent out the property without any downtime and at a higher rate.
