With a transparent process and white-glove execution, you can scale your portfolios without second-guessing a single design decision.
Why?
Guests can’t resist them, and tenants want to live in them.
Alnu Design Co. is a women-led commercial and residential interior design firm that designs locally in Houston and nationwide. We turn short-term rentals into fully booked calendars and turn multifamily properties into lease-ready showpieces that close on the first tour. Market data influences every detail. You'll get bold finishes and a modern edge that creates scroll-stopping spaces.
For the Owners Who Want More Than
If you’re operating a short-term rental, you’ve already learned the hard way: throwing up a few trendy throw pillows won’t make your listing stand out. Guests scroll past, bookings stall, and DIYing swallows your ROI... again. You need rentals that feel worth the splurge and guests brag about booking– you need Airbnb interior design, redefined.
If you’re in multifamily, you know one bad model unit can kill a lease. Prospects tour three to five properties in a day. So, if yours feels forgettable, you’ve lost them for good. You need properties that seal the lease on sight and designs that don’t drain your bottom line.
That’s why we’re here. With every project driven by data and delivered with integrity, we promise to turn your properties into powerhouses.
the alnu rush
The Alnu Rush is that blood-rushing thrill of seeing your spaces exceed expectations. Guests feel it first – that "I need to stay here" moment. Then you feel it in your numbers and make your investment pay you back.
Why You Feel the Rush
It isn’t an accident. It’s the result of bold design, uncompromised strategy, and a process built to protect your time and your investment.
Insider Knowledge
We have 20+ years in property management and a fresh, modern edge in a male-dominated industry. We know what makes or breaks, what books, and what makes money—and we design with that in mind.
Data Driven Design
While many STR & multifamily interior design firms focus on looks alone, every decision we make is backed by market research and comps. Every layout, finish, and furnishing is chosen to keep calendars full and units leased. This approach ensures your property stands out among competitors and generates measurable ROI.
Budget Integrity
We start with your why — whether you’re running an STR for fun, building it for profit, or leveraging a tax strategy. Every design choice aligns with that goal, so every dollar you spend moves you closer to the outcome you want most.

The Team Behind
Spaces that Command Attention and Deliver Results
When three women with decades of property management experience got fed up with overpriced design that tanked ROI, they built something different. A Houston interior design firm founded by Cassie Auflick, Kayla Korey, and Lauren Sedlar.
Alnu Design Co. designs properties based on what’s performing in the market—and what will bring the highest return on your investment. With us, you’ll never have to compromise between bold design and proven performance—we deliver both.
“it is exactly what we wanted!”
“Can’t say enough about Cassie at Alnu Design! She redecorated our house from top to bottom at a very reasonable price, on time, and it is just exactly what we wanted! She was able to understand what we wanted right from the beginning so the process was easy and fun - and she goes over the top to make sure everything is done just right!
Can’t tell you how much I appreciated working with her!

“Our Airbnb has been the highest-earning property”
"This company is fantastic at what they do! AlNu designed our Airbnb five years ago and it’s been the highest earning property out of the 15 or so Airbnbs being managed by our management company. I think it’s time for a refresh on design and adding some fun activities space. I can’t wait to see what they have in mind! Reach out to these ladies… you will be glad you did!!!"

“they delivered such a unique yet cohesive product.”
"Cassie, Kayla, and Lauren were awesome to work with. I let them go carte blanche with the design of the house and they delivered such a unique yet cohesive product. Every room had its own character, but it all tied together with the warmth of the colors, the furniture used, and wallpaper/art chosen. The install instructions were well-thought-out and easy to follow. The way the house turned out was amazing. I would definitely use Alnu again for any future designs."
