What this spreadsheet does

Furnishing a rental room by room without a total budget often leads to overspending before the property earns anything back.

What you can do with it

  • Set a furnishing budget before shopping
  • Track what's already been purchased per room
  • Prioritize must-have items when the budget is tight

What's included

Sheet tabs

  • Instructions
  • Summary
  • Room Budgets
  • Shopping List

Features

  • Room-by-room budget with item-level line entries
  • Estimated vs. actual cost per item, with variance shown only once an item is actually bought
  • Per-room status: on track, not started, or over budget
  • Must-have and nice-to-have tracked separately, so you always know what it still costs to be able to open
  • Ordered-but-not-arrived counted as committed, not as spent
  • Total budget, estimated cost and spend in one summary

How it works

  1. 1Set a budget per room on the Room Budgets tab
  2. 2List every item on the Shopping List, marked Must-have or Nice-to-have
  3. 3Enter the real price and set the status to Bought as you buy; the Summary follows

Who it's for

New hosts furnishing a property before their first listing goes live.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set a different budget for each room?

Yes, each room has its own budget limit and the Summary tab totals spend across all rooms.

Does it track what I've already bought?

Each item is To buy, Ordered or Bought. Only Bought counts as spent — an ordered item is money committed, which is a different question, and it's reported separately.

What happens when the budget runs out?

That's what the must-have split is for. The Summary tells you how many must-have items are still unbought and what they'd cost — the amount it still takes to be able to accept a booking, separately from the nice-to-haves.
