What we use in our homes.
The bedding, lighting, decor, kitchen and bathroom basics, TVs and cleaning supplies we buy for our Airbnb homes. Useful if you're setting up a rental of your own, or if you liked something during your stay.
We add products slowly, and only ones we've ordered for our own properties.
In our homes300TC pure cotton king bedsheet
Pure cotton breathes better than glace or polycotton in humid weather, and a fine stripe looks crisp in photos while hiding small marks between washes.

In our homesJute cushion covers, yellow and grey
Textured jute adds warmth to a plain sofa for very little money, and the ikat-style print hides everyday wear. Swap covers each season instead of buying new cushions.

In our homesMicrofiber cushion fillers
Covers only look good on a full, springy filler. These fit standard 16-inch covers, so one set works across every sofa and bed.
