Our selection of Toronto home furniture is available to rent through flexible lease plans, so it’s perfect for an endeavor like home staging. The goal is to get your home sold as soon as possible and for the best price, so we will work with you to make convenient arrangements. When choosing Toronto home staging furniture, we recommend going for a neutral color palette and choosing pieces that reflect modern interior decorating trends.

Remember, you’re creating the first impression for potential buyers who visit your home, so the details count. That’s why we provide a great selection of furniture rental in Toronto, with offerings from great office furniture right down to accessories like area rugs and artwork. These will make every room in your house look streamlined and clean, yet cozy and livable. We’ve gathered a few basic home staging tips to share, which you should definitely keep in mind when attempting to stage it yourself. It’s a cost-effective alternative to hiring a professional, but does require a significant investment of time and effort.

For starters, clean as thoroughly as possible. Even the best Toronto home staging furniture will be less effective if the room around it looks dirty or cluttered. Plan on cleaning tile grout and addressing carpet stains. If you have a lot of collectibles or small figurines on display, go ahead and pack those up before showing the home. You will have to pack them at some point anyway, and their personal nature could prevent potential buyers from envisioning their own lives in the space.

We came across an article about Michael Palace’s furniture creations, located on SonomaPatch while trawling through our trusty saved search for “furniture” on our favorite news aggregator.  Palace has a background in art and design and has spent decades working as a carpenter, contractor, and custom remodeler.  After realizing the sheer amount of waste that is produced via construction can be alarmingly high, he decided to do something about it.  He started off by saving usable pieces of construction materials and figuring out a way to repurpose them.  He now puts his findings to good use by designing and creating custom-designed furniture.

The article is an engaging and worthwhile read.  In addition to describing how he comes across the materials he uses for his creations (sometimes by donation, other times by simple foraging), the article highlights the benefits of Palace’s waste-not approach. Palace’s work process is also given some treatment.

A particularly rewarding passage occurs when the author, Morgan Ray, describes how Palace constructs his carefully wrought creations by using tried-and-true methods of quality furniture crafting, not simple fixes like nails and screws.  Ray describes the “mortise and tenon joints, dovetail drawers and doweled jambs” Palace frequently employs, which we find to be a rather pretty turn of phrase.

From one organization that understands quality furniture to Palace, a kindred spirit located in sunny California, we offer cheers and support for fighting the good fight.

Cost-effective office furniture acquisition is increasingly important these days, even with rumors of an economic rebound on the horizon.  According to an article about office furniture we found on HeraldNet, the website for The Herald of Everett, Washington, there appears to be a trend in the Puget Sound area away from the purchase of brand-new furniture and towards the purchase of clearance furniture, something we may see mirrored for purchases of office furniture in Toronto.

Brian Hollingshead, the owner of Everett Office Furniture, a retailer that sells new and used office furniture in the Everett area, has certainly noticed a trend in his own business.  Where two years ago about 25 percent of his sales were for used or clearance furniture, today, that number hovers closer to half.  That’s a pretty big jump.  Hollingshead also has a wonderful quote about the rationale for selling clearance furniture.

“You put a desk in a spot and there isn’t much to go wrong with it,” he said.

We can certainly agree with that statement.  Clearance furniture at Executive Furniture Rentals is always top-notch, and our office furniture in Toronto is particularly strong.  Since office furniture is often more sturdy than home furniture, something the HeraldNet article points out, finding excellent pieces of pre-owned furniture is surprisingly easy.

The next time you’re considering office furniture in Toronto, it might help to think beyond purchasing new furniture.  Clearance furniture and rental solutions are also great options.  Contact us today to learn more.

Whether we’re discussing our special event furnishings in Toronto solutions or any of our other unparalleled services such as home furniture rental, office furniture rental, and custom corporate housing, the fact remains that we hone our efforts in on Toronto.  This is our backyard, and we have the experience and expertise to provide the best services possible here, so that’s where we focus our work.

However, just because we work primarily in Toronto doesn’t mean we’re not well-connected elsewhere.  Indeed, as a member of the esteemed CORT Global network, we’ve established ourselves as part of a far-reaching group that shares our core values of excellence, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Today, we’re proud to announce some of CORT’s new products for the upcoming 2011 season.

Consider, for example, the Essex Collection, which is CORT’s take on the current furniture trend of Hollywood style.  Consisting of a two-tone sofa and chair, the Essex Collection is sure to please.

Another new product is Luna Transformations, which points to an ingenious method of redecoration.  An adhesive in four translucent patterns, Luna Transformations allows anyone to add a new element of visual interest to any Luna Lighting furniture.  It’s a practical and savvy way to put a new spin on already excellent furniture.

These announcements are always an exciting time, because many of these products go on to be spectacular successes.  Case in point: the 2010 introduction of the Endless Seating Collection, a system of modular seating.  It’s the kind of forward-thinking vision that engendered the Endless Seating Collection that we nurture in ourselves, and that we’re happy to see in an organization like CORT.

While rooted firmly in our tradition of unparalleled excellence, however, we continue to make strides toward the future.  Among other things, we do so by reading a variety of furniture-, relocation-, and rental-themed blogs and articles.  We like to, from time to time, bring some of our findings to you.  Some of the posts we find can be illuminating, some can be engaging, and some can be outright fun.

Today, we stumbled across a press release on SFGate.com about ViaBoxes.  ViaBoxes are, according to the press release, “furniture cubes” that can be combined in any number of ways to provide a growing family or business with a variety of furniture options, depending on their needs at that given moment.

We’re big fans of this sort of forward-thinking solution.  We, as purveyors of Toronto furniture rental, understand the difficulties inherent in planning ahead, along with the benefits of doing so.  Clever solutions that make the hassle of relocating or expanding or simply changing less rigorous can be brilliant in our book.

The next time you’re looking to do some of that in the Toronto area, don’t hesitate to contact us.  We’ll put forth our full efforts to make sure you’ve got the best solutions to your unique needs, whether that be rental furniture for one or clearance furniture for an entire office.

This event is a wonderful opportunity to check out some new designer furniture for your home or office, or simply to get inspired by the latest trends.  Plenty of speakers will also be on-hand for further inspiration and/or instruction.

This event is an excellent way to the city of Toronto itself to showcase itself as a cutting-edge location in terms of design.  We fervently believe that this is the case, a case strengthened when Toronto holds world-renowned showcases like the Interior Design Show.

All the information in this post regarding the Interior Design Show was taken from their excellent, informative website.  Browse the Interior Design Show website here.

At Executive Furniture Rentals, we like to have the finest furnishings for home and office that are available on the market.  That’s because we highly value our customers and want to provide them with the best possible furniture rental experience.  Our office furniture in Toronto solutions are unparalleled, for example.  We’re also proud to support home staging in Toronto, which is a rapidly burgeoning field that helps frame the home or office you’re trying to sell in the most beneficial, attractive light for prospective buyers.  At Executive Furniture Rentals, we’re here to make your your Toronto-affiliated relocation goes as smoothly as possible.

One of the many ways we like to be well-positioned to offer the premier home furniture in Toronto services around is to keep abreast of industry news and trends.  With the New Year still in very-recent memory, there are a host of year-end and year-beginning lists.  It is in this spirit that we share with you an article about furnishing trends in 2011.  Obviously, since 2011 is only four days old at the time of this writing, the post is more of a prognostication than proven fact.  Still, it’s worth browsing to see what Stacy Downs of The Kansas City Star has compiled.

Generally speaking, the trends focus on new tacks taken.  These include opting for a paler, more driftwood-like finish for hardwood floors over darker, like-new hues, as well as a move toward brighter hues like honeysuckle and gold.  (Honeysuckle, by the way, was named the 2011 color of the year by the Pantone Color Institute.  Talk about a trend!)  Others call for the resurgence of products that have fallen by the wayside such as sliding doors and carbon-filament light bulbs.

Two of the final trends, however, illustrate the importance of being true to your own unique decoration sense.  The first calls for repurposing old products in new ways, and the second suggests mixing and matching ideas to come up with your own perfect blend of new and old, upscale and rustic.  We heartily agree with that.

The Barcalounger has a storied history with its roots in Buffalo, New York, where it was originally built by the Barcolo Manufacturing Company.  Its pioneering products became an inspiration for furniture makers the world over (and, in a much more relatable and day-to-day-way, to impromptu nappers everywhere).  Leisure is built into the company fabric, as they were, legendarily, the first company to allow its employees sanctioned coffee breaks.  Though this tale might be somewhat apocryphal, it nevertheless illustrates the importance of relaxation, something that, in a Barcalounger, is not hard to achieve.

No word on whether or not the iconic recliner will make its way to Canada, but we’re an optimistic bunch here at Executive Furniture Rentals.  Regardless, the return of exquisite comfort, at least to denizens of Las Vegas is assured.

We found this information while perusing FurnitureToday.com.  Here’s the article about Barcalounger’s reintroduction.  We thought those of you who are interested in home furniture in Toronto might be interested in home furniture elsewhere.

We’re a premier solution for home furniture in Toronto, but we’re also a lot of other things too.  Whether you’re looking for the aforementioned home furniture in Toronto, office furniture, office systems and panels, special events solutions for the Toronto area, or custom corporate housing, we’ve got it all.  We even offer excellent support for home staging in Toronto, a rapidly burgeoning industry that can give you an edge in a competitive real estate sales market.  What’s more, we’re a proud member of the CORT Global Network, a group of the finest furniture rental solutions from across the world.  Wherever you’re going, we’ll be there.

There are other reasons to opt for Toronto home furniture rental, including some that might surprise you.  Consider, for example, the college freshman.  She or he is away from home for the first time and is looking for utility above all else.  Fashion, while a plus, is not the guiding principle.  That’s why innovative—if not exactly eye-popping—furniture solutions such as the bedroom in a box are marketed.  Once the student graduates and gets a job that allows them to eat, the hastily purchased furniture they acquired goes in the proverbial dustbin of history.

We now pose a question: Why not circumvent this whole wasteful and unattractive solution with Toronto home furniture rental services?  By renting Toronto home furniture, the student will be able to spend less money for nicer furniture, impressing her peers and maybe—just maybe—herself, for making such a shrewd decision, as well.  Furthermore, when she graduates, she can return the furniture and move wherever she wishes, unencumbered by unattractive, utilitarian furnishings.  It’s a win-win!

The next time you’re on the market for Toronto home furniture, consider Executive Furniture Rentals.  Though we have an impressive variety of such products, that’s not all we offer.  We also possess a wide of office furniture in Toronto.  Contact us to learn more.

Think, for example, of your daily habit.  Many of those who are on the market for Toronto furniture rental services here in the city are employed in the financial, tech, or business services fields, two of the leading industries in the Toronto area.  Many people working in these fields have a set schedule where the anchor of that schedule is their workday.  Before and after that are all the little daily or weekly or otherwise periodic tasks—dropping off and picking up the kids, going to the grocery store, jogging, and so on—that make up our routine.

Now consider moving.  Moving is a massive, all-encompassing project that disrupts our routine.  There are countless elements of the whole process that need to be balanced and executed.  All of them take a degree of time and effort, and very little of it operates exactly on your time.

We just read an opinion column in the Wichita Falls, Texas Times Record News in which the author exhorts her readers to remember to exercise and eat well when undergoing a move.  The reason she does so is because of moving’s disruptive effect on our lives.

That said, moving can be made significantly easier by employing a Toronto furniture rental solution such as ourselves.  Renting furniture allows you to completely avoid the headache of coordinating movers for heavy, expensive objects and allows you to focus on other things, like getting back into your routine.

Toronto furniture rental is easier than ever before with Executive Furniture Rentals.  Our entire suite of services, from Toronto furniture rental to home staging and clearance furniture, is geared toward making your life easier.  Contact us today to learn more.
