Home staging refers to the process of temporarily and strategically furnishing a space when showing it for resale.  The goal is to accentuate the positive features of a space, as well as to illustrate the possibilities of the layout of a particular home or office.  Home staging, when done well, can transform any space from an interchangeable, empty room into an inviting, welcoming area.  What’s more, it doesn’t interfere with any moving schedule you might have.  You can pack up whatever furniture and decor you’re planning on taking without worrying about showing an empty place to prospective buyers if you’re planning on staging your property.

Home staging might sound like a very straightforward process in which someone simply rents furniture and sticks it in an empty space.  It might come as a surprise, then, to know that home staging is actually a rather delicate and complex process.  Balances need to be struck.  Too little furniture, and a space looks awkwardly empty.  Too much, and it looks cluttered.  The best home stagers put a significant amount of effort into their work, almost as though they were decorating their own home, and their results reflect that commitment.  We are pleased to provide you with recommendations for a number of home stagers in the Toronto area upon request.

We bring the same dedication to excellent service to this new and burgeoning field as we do with our many other endeavors, which include renting home and office furniture in Toronto.  After all, as the premier destination for furniture for hire in this fine city, we have a reputation to hold up.  Contact us today to learn more about our wide range of services.

To polish off any room, shop our inventory of home accessories online. It features modern choices such as the silver-leafed triangle table lamp, topped with an off-white drum shade.

When it comes to floor lamps, one favorite is the New Age collection piece with a distressed golden brown shade topping an intricate pewter stand.

Another great idea in home accessories is the storage ottoman or bench. The espresso-colored faux leather rectangular ottoman features an interesting baseball stitching pattern and is a regal choice for your temporary home.

As a furniture rental company, I am finding more opportunities to provide turn-key housing solutions to temporarily relocated employees by contracting or referring home stagers to plan and prepare corporate houses and suites. Companies who rent furniture as a housing option are beginning to demand the suite (or house) be completely ready for the employee to move in: furniture planned; kitchen; bath; bedrooms and linen all organized; and the house has become a home.

I truly enjoy providing a custom corporate residence option. The economic benefits for companies are immeasurable from a cost benefit analysis to instant employee productivity. When asked, in my mind there is no better qualified person to provide a decorative, budget conscious solution than the professional home stager.

A friend recently forwarded us an interesting article in Palm Springs, California’s Desert Sun newspaper, in which expert Kenn Cross offers tips to help homeowners sell their property. “This is a very completive market and homes no longer sell themselves,” writes Cross. “A Realtor can use every resource under the sun to market a home, but it is up to the homeowner to prepare the house to be sold.”

Cross’ tips for homeowners are simple, and he reminds everyone that even though completing the tips is easy and will help a home shine, there’s always room for improvement. First on the list? Fragrance. According to the writer, small diffuser bottles can help cover up not-so-pleasant smells from pets, cigarette smoke or just that “old house” smell. He also recommends paying attention to your windows: Clean them and use window treatments. And instead of personal art on the walls, hang mirrors to “increase the perceived size of the space” and “help potential buyers visualize themselves in your home.”

Personal photos are a no-no as well, as they can make potential buyers feel like they’re taking over someone’s house, according to Cross. Don’t forget to clean —  even baseboards, ceiling fans and under furniture — and de-clutter. Too much furniture in rooms and too many clothes in closets doesn’t look good. This is where home staging can really help. The writer didn’t mention it, but we feel home staging is a smart, efficient way to make sure you not only have the right amount of furniture in your home, but that your home looks as attractive as possible.

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.”

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.

Call me: (416) 785-0932. I would enjoy the opportunity to help plan your new marketing strategy!

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.

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.
