Sponsored feature for Mills Interiors by Stand Up For Southport
An interior design expert in Southport is encouraging people to act now to get their rental homes and businesses looking the best they can be before golf fans from around the world fly in for The Open Golf Championship in 2026.
The clock is ticking with huge opportunities available ahead of The 154th Open being held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club between 12th – 19th July 2026.
Claire Mills, the owner of Mills Interiors, says now is the time to get ready if you want to attract the right customers and really maximise your income.
Claire said: “The Open will be here before we know it! It is one of the world’s premier sporting events.
“It only comes around to Southport once every eight years or so and it creates huge opportunities for people with sports fans travelling in from all over the world.
“This is Southport’s moment to shine! The town will be on TV screens across the world, we will be on everyone’s lips. Let’s stand out.
“Make sure your homes are in tip-top shape, looking as attractive as they can be, and looking good in photos.
“If you’re looking to rent your property, you will be working within a very competitive market.
“What are you doing to stand out? There are lots of things you can do to make your space as attractive as it can be, in order to bring in the best tenants and really enhance your potential income.
“Holiday home decorating and styling your home for rental, homestay, or self- catering accommodation can make a huge difference in attracting guests and creating a memorable stay.
“This is not just a one-off; you want to provide a quality experience, generate great feedback and perhaps utilise this opportunity again.
“Stylish and unique décor can allow you to charge higher rates compared to plain, tired-looking or outdated listings.
“People won’t mind paying more for somewhere that looks attractive, inviting and ambient.
“A well-decorated space enhances a guest’s stay, making them more likely to return, or recommend your place. Different themes, or cosy touches can help create a warm and inviting atmosphere that guests love.
“Thoughtful decoration, good lighting, cosy furniture, and functional layouts, makes for a better guest experience.
“Unique design elements help your property stand out in a crowded rental market.
“The Open is going to be with us soon and now is the time to get in touch and have a conversation about how we can help to really make your property stand out.
“If you’re looking for interiors advice, a restyling, or a renovation, don’t waste time in getting your property summer and golf tournament ready.”
