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.

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.

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.

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.

Furniture is our passion, and we spend a lot of time keeping abreast of industry news.  From time to time, we’ll come across something that is so exciting it’s worthy of sharing with you all.  Count this as one of those experiences:

Parnian Furniture, a Scottsdale, Arizona-based contemporary furniture designer and manufacturer, has designed and released a bed for the ages.  Starting at US$38,000, the bed comes with options that can increase the price to as high as US$210,000.  (Yes, that’s supposed to be a comma, not a decimal!)

Of course, with a price tag like that, you’d expect the bed from Parnian to come with quite a few features.  And boy, does it.  The fully loaded version of this veritable space-age sleep station features a built-in iPad holder, television and computer monitors that can pop up and swivel around, various hidden compartments, LED touch lights, backlights, attached nightstands, and charging stations.  Oh, and there’s a bevy of gold and stainless steel detailing in there, to boot.

Other finishing touches:  ebony, sapele and maple woods, a staggeringly intricate sunburst inlay for the headboard.  Should you be on the market for this bed, know that mattress options include wool, cotton, latex, and (of course) horsehair.

We first came across the bed at while perusing Furniture Today, a useful furniture industry magazine.  You can see it on the slideshow on the Parnian homepage.  Needless to say, the bed looks positively stunning.  We don’t happen to have an extra US$210,000 laying around, but we can’t help but wonder: Do we need a license to take that thing out on a test drive?  And if not, may we conk out on that thing for a few hours?

When looking for office furniture in Toronto, consider Executive Furniture Rentals.

In addition to office furniture in Toronto, we also provide clearance furniture solutions, which can be a great choice for long-term relocations.  However, from a financial perspective, renting can just make sense sometimes, especially when the move is large, long-distance, and/or of predetermined length.

Though purchasing furniture permanently is generally accepted to be the more financially prudent solution, that isn’t always the case.  Consider this: Renting furniture for one year within a country’s borders can cost up to 47% less than moving furniture (using 6,000 pounds’ worth of furniture as the comparison).  An international move can be even more costly for people looking to buy furniture.  Costs in this regard can be reduced up to 67% if those movers were to simply rent.  Two-year costs for renting furniture in these two scenarios are still lower than for buying.

So there you have it: Rental furniture is clearly the way to go for short-term and medium-term moves.  It just makes sense.

In addition to our exemplary office furniture in Toronto solutions, we have several other services which are every bit as powerful.  These include home furniture, special event furnishings, home staging, and custom corporate housing.  We’ve brought the commitment to excellence and service that embodies our office furniture in Toronto concern to each of these.

As you can see, Executive Furniture Rentals has diversified beyond office furniture in Toronto.  We’re ready help make any Toronto-area relocation, home or office sale, or special event go more smoothly.

The phrase is commonly used.  It’s appended to the collections of a host of furniture stores in a way that telegraphs cutting-edge quality and unique styles.  This definition of contemporary furniture suggests that contemporary furniture is designer-driven, arty, and high-end.  It’s made for consumption by discerning folk with deep pockets.  In this sense, “contemporary” is an extension of the art term “modern,” which means it’s related to the hallmarks of modern art.

While this categorization of contemporary furniture certainly holds, there’s another, more commonplace definition in which the term refers to any furniture made that doesn’t appear to be part of a period style.  It’s furniture that looks, to our eyes, more or less “normal.”  In this sense, “contemporary” refers to the time in which the furniture was made, which is, more or less, now.  The furniture looks “normal” to us because it was made with the general public’s current (or “contemporary”) tastes and desires in mind.  This is why furniture that was contemporary 50 years ago is evocative of a different time and place to us today.

With our extensive selection of stylings for both home and office, Executive Furniture Rental has plenty of furniture that can fit either definition of “contemporary furniture.”  From impeccably designed, thoughtfully rendered pieces to everyday, utilitarian items, we have all your Toronto furniture rental needs.

However, we do more than just rent and sell office furniture.  We also provide home furniture solutions in both our

Though renting is our primary mode, we also, as previously mentioned, offer clearance furniture.  This is high quality furniture that has been employed in home staging or movie sets, and which is now on sale at discounted prices.  If you decide to buy clearance furniture through Executive Furniture Rentals, you can rest assured that you’ll have excellent products, purchased at fair prices, that will last you for years to come.

Periodically, we give tips about how to maintain furniture that you may have bought with us or that you have acquired from elsewhere.  Some of these furniture maintenance tips include how to clean wood, leather, or upholstered furniture.  These tips are great for everyday upkeep, such as when a guest spills something on your couch.

However, other times, accidents will occur that will cause more major damage the upholstery on a piece of furniture.  A tear in the fabric is one such symptom.  In particularly severe cases, the best route might be to reupholster furniture.  This might sound like a bit of work—and, indeed, it is—but when you’re dealing with a high quality piece of furniture, it might be worth the effort.  The link above points to an engaging article detailing how reupholstering high-quality furniture—furniture that is constructed well, not simply designed well—can make considerable “cents” in the long run.
