House to Let Cambridge: Choosing the Right Furnishings for the Cambridge UK Market

Furnishing a house to let in Cambridge isn’t just about taste—it’s about strategy. The right choices can boost rent, reduce voids, and attract higher-quality tenants. Whether you're preparing a long-term rental or a short-let, here’s how to furnish smart—and how Cambridge Stays takes the hassle off your hands.

Furnishing for Long-Term Lets

Long-term tenants expect the basics—done well. Essentials include:

• Comfortable beds and mattresses

• Wardrobes or hanging space in each bedroom

• Sofa and dining table with adequate seating

• Appliances like fridge/freezer, oven, washing machine

Optional extras can improve appeal:

• Curtains or blinds that block light

• A desk for home working

• A starter kitchen kit with pots, pans, and utensils

We help landlords furnish just enough to attract, without overspending.

Furnishing for Short-Term / Airbnb Lets

Short lets require a full guest-ready setup:

• Fully stocked kitchens with cutlery, crockery, and cooking essentials

• Bedding, towels, and linens

• Thoughtful extras: smart TV, WiFi, books, and local guides

• Stylish decor, art, and soft furnishings

Guests expect a hotel-like experience with a homey feel—and we know exactly how to create it.

Durability and Maintenance Tips

Quality furnishings save you money in the long run. Choose:

• Wipeable surfaces like high-gloss, laminate, or metal

• Stain-resistant fabrics for sofas and dining chairs

• Modular or replaceable items that are easy to update without replacing full sets

Every item we select is tested for real-life rental durability.

Style That Appeals

Neutral, modern interiors attract a broader range of tenants. We recommend:

• Light tones on walls, soft greys and earth tones for furnishings

• Minimal clutter to make spaces feel open and adaptable

• Matching sets or cohesive styling to create a professional, polished look

A well-styled property photographs better—and lets faster.
