A friend of ours forwarded us a great article recently published at RealtyTimes.com, titled “Landlords Move In Furniture to Help Rent Properties.” It seems that more and more landlords are realizing how attractive, quality furniture already in place can help make a home more appealing to potential renters. Some are even marketing their properties as furnished, which is a big plus for renters who don’t have their own furniture. Home staging is a great idea.

One of our favorite quotes from the article is this one: “If the furnishings are done in good taste and are gender-neutral, I think that when someone walks in they already feel like it’s a home versus just an empty shell.” This is a great point. If a person can see himself at home in a space they’re considering, they’re more likely to rent it or buy it.

Though the article focuses quite a bit on landlords who rent apartments furnished with their own extra furniture (this saves them the trouble of moving it or storing it), they mention the benefits of home staging: “We have showed our furnished properties to renters who have their own furniture and I think it just helps sell the space because … it’s staged.”

Discover how Executive Furniture Rentals assists commercial real estate and property management companies to sell and rent properties quickly with office staging and home staging!

The present home staging phenomenon is so successful because it works. Fact: homes sell faster when staged.

Having completed the worst property market in a decade (2009), the need for commercial staging becomes a very useful marketing option. By enhancing the office space, prospective tenants can visualize how the space can work for their corporate needs.

Renting office furniture for private offices, reception or even workstation bullpens can easily be achieved on a temporary basis. As a side benefit, property managers can use the staged interiors as “Ready Offices” that can be rented with the property. Furthermore, custom requirements can be achieved within very short notice.

Commercial staging is truly an opportunity for designers, property managers, real estate and furniture rental companies to partner their expertise as they have done so successfully with the residential market.

If you’re selling your home in Toronto, home staging could give you the edge and help make your home as appealing as possible to potential buyers. Similar homes for sale may have old furniture or mismatched furniture, and to potential buyers, this can be a terrible first impression even though they’re looking at buying the house, not the furniture. But with a home that’s using home staging, potential buyers are wowed when they walk in the door.

From rental sofas to rental dining room sets to rental bedroom furniture, home staging covers it all. Neutral colors and quality furniture in your home help make it easy for buyers to see themselves living comfortably in your home. And if they feel comfortable in it, they’re more likely to buy it.

Don’t think you could pick out the right rental furniture for home staging? No problem. Our home staging professionals can help you pick out the rental furniture that will make your home shine.

Home staging is affordable and easy. Some real estate agents and experts recommend updating a home’s look and style by improving the furniture, draperies and rugs, but many people assume they mean you should go out and buy these things. That can add up fast, costing you thousands of dollars. With furniture for hire, you rent monthly and do not have to worry about what you’ll do with the furniture once your home sells. Executive Furniture Rentals moves in the furniture and also moves it out.

So if you’re selling your home in Toronto, home staging may be a great bet. Contact us or stop by our showroom to find out more about how our rental furniture can make your home outstanding on the market. Also, feel free to take a look at our home staging photo gallery to see some examples of what can be done.

Happy New Year, Toronto! Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? It seems the most common ones involve self-improvement — exercising more, eating healthier, etc. — and we think new furniture falls into that category. How would a new sofa help me improve myself? you might be wondering. Well, by improving the look of your home or office, you can make your space more efficient and appealing, thereby increasing your happiness. If you have a comfortable place to relax and sleep, and a comfortable place to work, that’s definitely a life improvement.

Now, we’re not saying that you have to throw everything in your home or office away and go shopping for new stuff. In many situations, furniture just might need to be repaired, cleaned and/or rearranged to improve a space and make it more appealing or functional. But if you’re in need of a lot of furniture either short- or long-term, there’s an affordable option worth considering: furniture for hire.

If you’re trying to sell your home this year, rental furniture is perfect for home staging. Perhaps the best and fastest way to make your home appealing to potential buyers, home staging really does work. Many people may not be willing to trying home staging to sell their home because they do not want to spend the money buying new furniture. But buying new furniture isn’t necessary—rental furniture is ideal, especially because it will be in the home for a limited amount of time. Plus, when the home sells, the rental furniture company will come and move the furniture out for you. No worrying about selling it or hiring movers. With rental furniture, home staging is so easy and affordable.

Even if you’re not selling your home, rental furniture can be a good bet for your situation. Imagine transforming your living room, bedroom and dining room in a matter of days with quality, gorgeous furniture. It’s possible with Executive Furniture Rentals. Contact us to find out more.

More about Toronto furniture rental

As you read this, plans are being made by all levels of government in Canada for the possible resurgence of the Novel Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic virus, this autumn.

Currently, this virus makes up 95% of influenza strains detected by the Ontario Public Health laboratory.  The pandemic is expected to spread.  Sources say that 25% of our populations could be affected.  What can we do?….Prepare!!

On a personal level, Public Health suggests carrying hand sanitizers and sneezing in our upper sleeve or a tissue.  It is important to stay at home if one has flu symptoms and keep commonly touched surfaces clean and disinfected.  Be pro-active by being preventive.  Make plans within your business and family to reduce the risk of acquiring this virus.

On a broader level, Medical Institutions, in coordination with Public Health are planning for the possibility of mass immunization in temporary spaces.  Hospitals will need to service the overflow of emergency cases in temporary facilities.  These spaces will need temporary furnishings and Executive Furniture Rentals has been put on alert with very limited notice.  It’s what we do.

For over 50 years we as a furniture for hire company have been involved in emergency planning.  We are honoured to contribute our services.  It is however, the deal we hope we won’t have to do.

Let’s face it, we all love deals.  Why should we buy something at full retail markup when you can buy the same item below wholesale price?  In Toronto there are many places to go in one’s search for “the great deal” – i.e. Aarons Clearance Centre. The best kept secrets are at furniture rental companies.

For the stationary, sitting in front of the computer and searching on marketplaces such as Kijiji, Craigslist or eBay, may be a start to find out what is available at any given time by people wanting to re-sell their personal property.  Consignment stores can be fun.  These are, retail stores dedicated to have individual’s products put in a showroom, for a consignment fee, so the public can visit.  You’ll be amazed at some of the treasures (and junk!) that you will see.  Sometimes newspapers and even websites announce weekly bargains that retail stores are having.  My favourite, of course, is visiting reputable furniture rental companies who have structured clearance centres.  If they are legitimate clearance stores, they truly will have their furnishings below original wholesale price.

All products like sofas, living room sets, mattresses, dining room sets, kitchen sets, bedroom sets and so much more have been previously rented to executives who have temporarily been relocated, used for home staging (to sell homes).  In addition, office furniture, such as filing cabinets, desks, office chairs, workstations, screens, worktables, etc. have come back from lease, tradeshows or simply became excess inventory.  I suggest you visit and actually see the furniture first hand.  Ask if there are any monthly discount coupons.  If you like to bargain, make the sales person sweat a bit (hey, it’s used furniture!!) but don’t be unreasonable or rude.  Remember, a good deal is only good if both parties walk away satisfied (My Dad always said that!).

I came across an interesting quote the other day, and I think it aptly applies to bargain hunting.  It read “Perception is reality….only to the ignorant.”  If you are truly looking for something at a good price, research the product and who you are buying it from.  Perhaps ask for references.  Do they stand behind the product or simply say, It’s used.  You get what you paid for”.  False expectation should never be sold….by anyone!

So, need to find the perfect piece of furniture for your basement, or furnish a complete office with furniture that has been depreciated?  No problem.  Find a reputable furniture rental company and enjoy the hunt! Contact us for more information about furniture rental.
