I have made every mistake, built every system, filled every room, and designed every space. I can save you years of trial and error — or help you build the whole thing from the ground up.
"I did not read a course on how to do this. I did it, kept doing it, and figured out what actually works."
I am Kristin Lee — interior and experience designer, and the person who has run this house in Denver's Cheesman Park neighborhood since 2016. I started with one house and a lot of questions. I now operate at full occupancy, with systems that work, a house that runs smoothly, and zero reliance on platforms like Airbnb or Furnished Finder.
Coliving is a real business. It requires systems for tenant screening, pricing, lease management, maintenance, conflict resolution, interior design, and marketing. Most people trying to start a coliving operation get one or two of those right. I can help you get all of them right.
My entry-level offering for hosts who want to talk through their situation, get honest feedback, and leave with clarity on what to do next. We dig into what is and is not working, and I tell you straight what to focus on first.
For hosts who have decided to move forward and need a clear action plan. I cover the full operational picture and deliver a written action plan within 48 hours — something you can actually execute against.
Full support from concept to first tenant. I work with hosts from scratch or through a significant restructure — property assessment, operations brief, marketing setup, and tenant placement strategy all included.
Coliving room design is different from residential. Rooms need to photograph well, feel private, and hold up to daily use. The consultation gives you clear direction on how to furnish neutrally, maximise space, and attract the right tenant from the first photo. The full room package goes deeper — mood board, concept direction, sourcing list, budget, and layout.
