As we were saying, from May 15th through the 18th, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair is being held in New York City.  Organized with industry insiders in mind, the fair will be an eye-opening event for designers, architects, manufacturers, and retailers.  Attendees will be able to see all manner of exciting, fresh ideas for office and home furniture.

Much of what you typically see at these events is conceptual in nature.  There’s a lot of freewheeling, fun experimentation going on as designers and manufacturers try to one-up each other on a big stage like this.  (For good examples of some of the more wild & wooly offerings you might find at an event like this, check out this article about the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair.)

Incidentally, we were wondering: where does the International Contemporary Furniture Fair get its furniture?  Just a random thought from a curious blogger.  (If the event was being held in Toronto, we’d love to provide our special event furnishing services—but you probably already knew that!)

Nevertheless, events like these are great opportunities to see what the best and brightest are cooking up for us to sit, sleep, work, and eat on.  If you find yourself in the area—or, if you’re in our neck of the woods, if you feel like taking a pleasant, verdant road trip through Southwestern Ontario and upstate New York—don’t pass up this opportunity.  We recognize, though, that this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.  If you just want to stick around and see some homegrown Toronto furniture for hire, we won’t object!

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.”

Consider Home Staging

Whether you’re trying to rent or sell your home, consider home staging. It’s easy and affordable, and it could pay off greatly if your property rents or sells much more quickly than if it were empty.

Office Furniture for Hire

Giving your employees a comfortable place to work is important. And with office furniture for hire, you’ll be able to choose from an impressive selection of desks, chairs and storage like filing cabinets. Want to change the look of your office in no time, or order more furniture for a new employee? Maybe a worker wants a bigger desk, or a different style chair. With office furniture for hire, it’s never been easier to do all this.

Home Staging Furniture for Hire

Home staging is the way to go if you’d like to make your home more appealing to potential buyers. Buying all new furniture is too costly and unnecessary — just get furniture for hire. Your home will be transformed in a matter of days. At Executive Furniture Rentals, we can even help you with home staging planning so you’ll be able to pick out the furniture for hire that will work best in your home.

Furniture for Hire: Change it up!

Yet another positive aspect of furniture for hire is that you’re able to change the look and feel of a room without having to mess with selling old furniture and buying all new chairs, sofas, etc. If you decide that black leather sofa is just too big for your living room, you can instead rent a loveseat, for example. For home or office, having this option is wonderful.
