Furniture For All Occasions

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

We pride ourselves as the premier Toronto furniture rental solution out there.  We endeavor to stay atop of this by maintaining a commitment to high quality service, value, expertise, and professionalism.  This manifests itself in the range and quality of services we offer, from our home furniture in Toronto options to our office furniture in Toronto lines to our special events and home staging suites.  Our unwavering commitment to quality has been a core value of ours here at Executive Furniture Rentals from the very beginning.

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.

Toronto Furniture Rental: IDS11 Approaches!

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

That’s right, folks—for a Toronto furniture rental establishment such as ourselves, the 13th annual Interior Design Show, located in our very own Toronto, is a highly anticipated event.  Shucks, we’ll go beyond that and call it a “feast for the senses.”  There’s a good reason for that: In the 13 years that the Interior Design Show’s been gracing Toronto, it has hosted over 4,000 designers, firms, companies, and studios to strut their stuff.  In that same time period, over 550,000 visitors have flocked to Toronto to see what the leading luminaries in contemporary interior design from all across Canada and the world over have been up to.

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.

Home Furniture Toronto: Furniture Trends

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

At Executive Furniture Rentals, we’re proud to offer excellent solutions for those looking for home furniture in Toronto.  Our method for home furniture success is simple.  We take the same commitments to detail, value, professionalism, and service that characterize our office furniture Toronto solutions and simply refocus them on a more intimate scale.  The result is timely, efficient service that is bound to leave you satisfied.

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.

Home Furniture Toronto: Barcalounger Returns to America

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Though we at Executive Furniture Rentals are a home furniture in Toronto service, we can’t help but be tickled by this bit of news from south of the border.  None other than the famed Barcalounger, a brand of recliner immortalized in lore and legend, will be returning to the United States next month.

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.

Toronto Home Furniture Rental: Fit For Any Occasion

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Toronto home furniture rental services are an excellent route to take when furnishing your new living space for a number of reasons.  It’s not just for using as a temporary solution before your furniture arrives from your previous residence, or before you can buy your own furnishings, though those are certainly two reasons to do so.  As we mentioned in a blog post a couple of weeks ago, Toronto home furniture rental is a perfect solution for keeping on top of the latest trends and fashions in the furniture world.  Instead of buying contemporary furniture that starts to look worn and dated as the years go buy, renting furniture affords the purchaser the ability to keep her home’s interior looking cutting-edge and new at all times.

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.

Toronto Furniture Rental: Conquer Moving With It!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

We believe that using a Toronto furniture rental solution such as us will allow you to make moving a much simpler task.  And moving is one of those things that needs all the simplification it can get.

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.

Toronto Home Furniture: Renting Gaining Widespread Acceptance

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

We’ve always been big fans of our Toronto home furniture solutions.  Now, you might think that we’re a little biased: Because we offer Toronto home furniture, we’re inclined to think highly of it, the logic goes.  However, that formula’s actually flipped.  We offer Toronto home furniture rentals because we think the service is a good one and because we’re capable of offering it at a high level.  If we didn’t think that way and weren’t capable of delivering, then we wouldn’t offer it.  That’s how we work at Executive Furniture Rentals.

It doesn’t surprise us, then, when we see validation for our stance on home furniture rental.  This week, such validation came in the form of an article on Franchisee.net.au, the online presence of Franchise Magazine.  The article is about home rental trends, and those trends are generally pointing upward.

Not only are trends pointing upward, the article points out, but many of the new home furniture rental converts are of a wealthier socioeconomic background than people who favored such services in the past.  According to to Alan Payne, the manager of a furniture rental chain in Australia and New Zealand, there are several reasons for this.

First is the increased mobility of the modern consumer.  Rather than getting a low-level job in a massive company and slowly climbing the corporate ladder over the years, today’s upwardly mobile, young professionals bounce around from company to company, leapfrogging.  That means more moves, which means less of a desire to be attached to a bevy of heavy furniture.

Another reason is the increased speed new fashion trends approach and recede.  Those same mobile consumers want to have the latest products—a desire that can be more easily facilitated, by the way, now that that consumer is moving much more.

Our Toronto home furniture solutions are top-notch, but it’s not all we offer.  We also provide excellent office furniture in Toronto, along with a host of other products designed to make any transition within Toronto a smooth experience.

Toronto Corporate Housing: Relocation Solution

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Toronto corporate housing is a valuable option when it comes to arranging temporary relocation of  a team of employees, or the entire company. Globalization has had an effect on the ways companies big and small do business. Your company may be looking to expand internationally, or maybe just set up shop a few provinces away. Whether the goal is to establish a new branch location or to execute a special project and make connections in a new location, there are a host of logistical concerns to consider. As an incentive to the talented employees you’re hoping to deploy, be sure to offer a convenient housing option that will help make this temporary relocation to Toronto smoother on your company and its people.

There are many reasons why Toronto would be a viable destination for a variety of companies. We’re proud to run our own company in this international hub for business and finance industries.

Special Event Furnishings: How to Prepare

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

We at Executive Furniture Rentals are big fans of special event furnishings in Toronto.  Why?  Because that means there’s a special event in our city, which we love for several reasons.  First off, we enthusiastically support the opportunity to showcase our fine city in the best possible light.  What better way to show off our dynamic, booming city than by hosting an important event within its limits?  On a slightly more personal note, we enjoy any special events we find ourselves invited to simply because we love the chance to meet new people and share ideas.  Ultimately, however, special events in our city provides us with an opportunity to help out—an opportunity, we might add, that we relish.

Here are some tips to make sure your special event runs along smoothly and successfully.

First, and most importantly, you will need to consider your audience.  What sort of group is your special event for, and what is its purpose?  A summit of prominent local businessmen will be very different in tone and expectation than one for comic book enthusiasts.  Both of those, in turn, will be different than a social media-based meetup.

Once you’ve carefully considered your audience, you can then work out your budget.  Your budget will be able to determine how you can implement the goals for your event.  After you have both your audience and your budget clearly rendered, it is much easier to begin making sure your event is a success.

As for furniture?  That, you can leave to us.  We here at Executive Furniture Rentals have an lengthy and winning track record when it comes to providing special events in Toronto with the right amount and kind of furnishings that the occasion demands.  Whether your event is large or small, formal or relaxed, we’ll be able to draw upon our rich experience and extensive selection of furnishings to make your event—whatever it may be—a rousing success.
