Interior design for
property developers
Interior design for single let rental properties, flips, refurbs & HMOs.
Ellipsa works with property developers and investors to create well-considered interiors for properties intended for rental or resale.
Design services support residential investments ranging from single-let rental properties to HMOs and serviced accommodation, including short-stay properties listed on platforms such as Airbnb. Each project is approached with a focus on durability, efficiency and long-term value, without compromising on design quality.
Services for design-aware investors and developers
Ellipsa’s services are most suited to:
Property developers
Buy-to-let landlords
HMO investors
Serviced accommodation and short-stay operators
Investors seeking a strong balance of aesthetics and performance
Projects are best suited to clients who recognise the value of thoughtful interior design in improving rental appeal, increasing rental income, improving occupancy and longevity.
Balancing return, durability and appeal
Investment interiors require a different balance to private homes.
Ellipsa’s approach focuses on:
Layout efficiency and practical flow
Accessible, wheelchair-friendly design to reach underserviced target markets
Materials chosen for durability and ease of maintenance
Neutral, refined palettes with broad tenant appeal
Cohesive design across multiple units where required
Cost-effective decisions that protect long-term value
The aim is to create interiors that photograph well, rent well and perform consistently over time.
Clarity, compliance & consistency
For HMOs and serviced accommodation, Ellipsa considers:
Room layouts and storage optimisation
Consistent finishes across rooms
Durable furniture and fittings
Lighting and engaging atmosphere for shared spaces
Design that supports regulatory requirements and ease of management
In addition to this, serviced accommodation interiors are designed with guest experience in mind, ensuring spaces feel welcoming and calm while remaining robust under frequent use.
What’s included
Interior design services for developers and investors may include:
Spatial planning and layout optimisation
Design concepts
Material, finish and colour selection
Furniture and lighting guidance
Durable furnishings specification

Scope is defined clearly at the outset to support budgeting, programming and smooth implementation.
Sustainability and long-term value
Sustainability is approached as a measure of quality and long-term value.
Materials and finishes are selected to withstand regular use, reduce replacement cycles and support responsible sourcing, helping to protect both environmental and financial investment over time.
Fees & working together
Ellipsa works on a fixed design fee basis, a personalised quote is tailored to the scale and scope of each project.
Each project is divided up into stages, to enable clarity on when goals are met. This approach also allows for a clear, structured design process and considered decision-making that supports long-term performance rather than short-term fixes.
