In 2003, we were asked to join the CORT Global Furniture Rental Network as the official Canadian service provider for CORT Furniture.  The Global Furniture Rental Network is a convenient one-stop shop that connects customers with quality office furniture rental services in various destinations worldwide.It makes even the bulkiest transitions, such as an employer relocating multiple employees and their families, as smooth as possible.

One  central point of contact coordinates each customer’s furniture rental needs globally. Our own reach now extends to accommodate relocating individuals and corporations nationwide and in 50 countries. Executive Furniture Rentals generally supplies the southern Ontario corridor, including Windsor, London, Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal. We are also able to coordinate short or long-term rentals in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Halifax.

Furniture rental is commonly viewed as a very temporary solution, but our long-term leasing program makes sense for acquiring high-quality office furniture in Toronto and beyond. Our pricing rates are based on the length of your rental and the value of each furniture piece. The longer your leasing period, the smaller your rental payments. If you choose to renew a lease, the items will be discounted and pro-rated accordingly.

More and more companies are seeing the value in renting office furniture in Toronto, as many office furniture staples depreciate in value over time. By appropriating your rental payments as an operational cost, you free up capital to invest in other areas of your business that will encourage growth. Our leasing program allows for 100% financing on office furniture in Toronto, so there is no down payment and no need to prepay federal and provincial taxes.

The number one benefit of renting office furniture in Toronto is that it conserves capital, which typically gets tied up when you opt to buy furniture instead. Because renting requires no down payment, rental payments can be classified as a business operating expense, as opposed to an investment like bought furniture. As a result, your furniture costs are completely deductible and can be financed monthly. When you buy furniture, the expense is capitalized over the lifetime of the piece, and you must also account for depreciation when calculating value.

Furthermore, renting office furniture in Toronto is a great way to accommodate your evolving business. You may be unable to project what your office’s furnishing needs will be in five or ten years. But with renting, simply let us know what you need right now and how long you’ll likely need it. Our office furniture rental terms are flexible, allowing you to extend the contract or apply rental payments toward purchasing the furniture. Just want to get rid of it at the end of the contract? There is no need to worry about liquidating or storing old furniture when you rent— simply return it.

Executive Furniture Rentals remains on top of corporate furnishing trends, to ensure that our services and inventory are current and consistently excellent. Customer-oriented service and professionalism make the difference when you rent office furniture in Toronto with us.

Executive Furniture Rentals offers customized packages to suit your specific needs and budget for office furniture in Toronto. Short or longterm renting is available, as well as strategic lease-to-purchase programs that are ideal for growing companies. The convenience and monthly capital savings of office furniture rental are significant. With the money your business will save by renting office furniture in Toronto, you are enabled to direct your finances elsewhere and even invest in new projects.

Buying office furniture in Toronto can be wise in certain scenarios, such as when an item will appreciate in value over time. But for many of your corporate furnishing needs, renting is the cost-effective choice. It’s also ideal for transitional situations in your office, such as furnishing “swing space” during renovations to your main office, supporting a temporary staff team, or office staging for real estate sales. Already bought office furniture in Toronto, but the delivery is delayed? Hosting a special event or seminar? Office furniture rental is right for you.

Keep us in mind for all of your home and office furnishing needs, as we also provide home furniture in Toronto and custom corporate housing for your expanding business.

In the past, we’ve given tips or advice about furniture-related tasks, such as cleaning leather furniture.  This time out, we’re going to take a similar route and give advice on cleaning wood furniture.

Cleaning wood furniture can take several forms as it depends largely on how the wood is finished.  Painted, oiled, polished, or unfinished wood surfaces all require different treatments in order to ensure an optimal cleanse.  The good news is that, unlike leather furniture, wood products can be protected a little bit more easily, and caring for them makes cleaning wood furniture that much simpler.

Ways you can protect your wood pieces include keeping them out of direct sunlight or away from areas that experience dramatic temperature or humidity swings.  This will keep the wood’s integrity stronger, which will make it less likely to become fibrous or cracked.  Fibrous or cracked woods are more susceptible to staining.

If the furniture is treated with an oil, wipe it clean daily to remove dust.  Using a store-bought furniture oil can restore natural luster and provide as a protectant against stains.  For painted wood furniture, clean with a damp sponge that has been wrung out for smudges.  Alternately, use a dry cloth for routine maintenance.

Ultimately, cleaning wood furniture is a piece-by-piece affair.  Don’t be afraid to consult the manufacturer’s guide to determine exactly how to clean your furniture.

Home staging

The question, however, is this: Who does do it well, and how can you find that out?  We found an excellent home staging article while browsing around the internet, reading up on industry news and publications.  It lists some questions that you might want to consider asking a prospective home stager when you first contact them.  We think that some of these are good to keep in mind.

Basically, hiring a home stager is like hiring any specialist to do work for you.  You’ll want to do  your homework, especially if their expertise falls outside what you can typically claim.  Asking questions, then, is a wonderfully simple way to determine what kind of service you can expect.  You can determine what sort of experience your stager has had by asking for references or a portfolio.  You can get a decent indicator of the quality of the home stager by asking how long properties they’ve staged usually take to sell.  Want to figure out what sort of style the stager will employ?  Simply ask!

Looking to sell a home or office in the Toronto area?  Contact us at Executive Furniture Rentals!  We’ll be glad to put our proven expertise in home staging to work to help you get an excellent price from your property in a reasonable time period.  And don’t  forget—we have a whole host of other excellent products and services available, including some of the best office furniture in Toronto!

CCHP is simple. It is a menu of choices specifically designed for budgets that are less than what the major corporate housing providers can offer, yet you have the freedom to choose what is essential and what is not.

For example, you may be able to find an unfurnished condo or home, then call us to provide home furniture, bedding, kitchenware, or even require us to arrange high speed Internet, phone, cable and housekeeping. Combine the two bills and you may end up with a 20% – 30% savings compared with a similar furnished suite/home in the same building or neighborhood. Just want to rent furniture, only? The savings is even greater. Do you want us to property manage the suite, to create one bill? We can do that.

Discover how Executive’s CCHP can trim your temporary relocation budget. Call me personally to chat about the possibilities.

Moveable walls prove to be economical, flexible, quicker to install, eco-friendly, making building permits for walls obsolete and at the same time may contribute LEED points to your project certification.

Furthermore, the acoustic rating allows isolation of private work spaces. The best part is, if your company decides to relocate or re-configure….no problem, just re-install your walls!

But what is the cost?

Moveable walls come at a similar cost to dry wall construction. However, there is less mess. Most importantly, it can become either an asset by purchasing, 100% tax deductible by leasing, or provide immense flexibility by renting.

Allow my team to further explain the benefits of moveable walls, either to buy, lease or rent. Don’t let interior walls become your problem, let it become your advantage!

One unique thing about furnishing a kitchen is that, unless you plan on shelling out for massive redecoration/renovation, the general “look” of your kitchen will already be determined.  This is due to the fact that your cabinets, counter tops, and appliances are already installed, and since they will (hopefully) share some sort of visual uniformity, your complementary kitchen options will be limited.  This has its benefits and drawbacks.  On the one hand, you won’t have as many paths to consider when picking furnishings out, which should theoretically make deciding on a look easier.  On the other, however, you’ll have less leeway to truly get as creative as you’d like because of those very limitations.

So it goes.  Once you’ve decided what sort of feel you’ll want, it’s time to start stocking the kitchen with the appropriate furnishings.  In this instance, you’ll want to start off with the biggest items first before you move to the smaller ones.  This is done in an attempt to maintain that unified aesthetic mentioned in the previous paragraph.  For example, you’ll want to figure out which kitchen buffets and tables you’re wanting to  buy before you move on to the kitchen chairs.  Of course, you can avoid this whole mix-and-match quandary by buying furniture by the room, which will ensure harmony between all pieces.

At Executive Furniture Rentals, we offer a whole lot more than just kitchen furniture.  We also offer office furniture, home staging solutions, and more.  Trust us to fulfill all your furniture needs in the Toronto area.

From a sheer numbers standpoint, the “loads to offer” bit makes a great deal of sense.  Toronto is Canada’s largest city, and its greater metropolitan area anchors the Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario, which is home to nearly 25% of Canada’s population.  Put enough hardworking people in one area and great things are bound to happen.

As the foremost city in Canada, Toronto’s economy centers around the business and finance sectors.  Home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, as well as the headquarters of all the primary banking institutions in Canada and a host of other corporations, Toronto certainly comes to work every day.

Our motto is “Diversity Our Strength,” and the vibrant, multicultural dynamism of our city can certainly attest to that.  Toronto boasts of the second-highest proportion of foreign-born residents of any major city in the world, edged out by only Miami in the United States.  However, Toronto’s immigrant population is much more polyglot, featuring Latinos, Asians, Europeans, and Africans in demographically significant populations.  This makes for a wonderful melting pot of cultures, cuisines, and ways of life, all within one city.

When you combine all those differing perspectives, you get a bevy of cultural opportunities to check out, and Toronto has that in spades.  It’s a North American center of theater, film, and art, and there are many shopping and nightlife districts, such as the Distillery District and the Yorkville neighborhood, worth visiting.

We here at Executive Furniture Rentals are proud to offer home furniture in Toronto.  Take advantage of our services, which also include custom corporate housing, as well as office furniture rental, and we’ll make your transition as smooth as possible.
