Special Event Furnishings: How to Prepare

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

We at Executive Furniture Rentals are big fans of special event furnishings in Toronto.  Why?  Because that means there’s a special event in our city, which we love for several reasons.  First off, we enthusiastically support the opportunity to showcase our fine city in the best possible light.  What better way to show off our dynamic, booming city than by hosting an important event within its limits?  On a slightly more personal note, we enjoy any special events we find ourselves invited to simply because we love the chance to meet new people and share ideas.  Ultimately, however, special events in our city provides us with an opportunity to help out—an opportunity, we might add, that we relish.

Here are some tips to make sure your special event runs along smoothly and successfully.

First, and most importantly, you will need to consider your audience.  What sort of group is your special event for, and what is its purpose?  A summit of prominent local businessmen will be very different in tone and expectation than one for comic book enthusiasts.  Both of those, in turn, will be different than a social media-based meetup.

Once you’ve carefully considered your audience, you can then work out your budget.  Your budget will be able to determine how you can implement the goals for your event.  After you have both your audience and your budget clearly rendered, it is much easier to begin making sure your event is a success.

As for furniture?  That, you can leave to us.  We here at Executive Furniture Rentals have an lengthy and winning track record when it comes to providing special events in Toronto with the right amount and kind of furnishings that the occasion demands.  Whether your event is large or small, formal or relaxed, we’ll be able to draw upon our rich experience and extensive selection of furnishings to make your event—whatever it may be—a rousing success.

Toronto Furniture Rental: Spotlight on Contemporary Furniture

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

At Executive Furniture Rentals, we pride ourselves in providing an excellent range of Toronto furniture rental solutions.  Today, we’re going to outline two related but different definitions of the term “contemporary furniture.”

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.

Whether you’re looking for office furniture in Toronto, home furniture in Toronto, or a more specialized service like special events planning or home staging in Toronto, know that we at Executive Furniture Rentals are uniquely equipped to provide you with exactly what you’re looking for.  Contact us today to learn more about what we can do for you.

Office Furniture Toronto: Reupholstering

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Most who are aware of the Executive Furniture Rentals brand know of us as a purveyor of office furniture in Toronto.  There’s a good reason for that: Office furniture, both as items to rent and as clearance sale material, is our bread and butter.  We do an excellent job supplying it, and that’s where we get a significant portion of our business.

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.

Friday, September 17th, 2010

Purchasing brand new office furniture in Toronto can be incredibly expensive upfront. Switching up the cubicle systems in your office can make a huge difference in terms of improving the look and feel of your workspace.

Particularly when it comes to cubicle systems, you are sure to find that the quality and condition of used office furniture rental units is absolutely comparable to that of brand new office furniture. That’s because office furniture systems don’t take the same kind of wear and tear that, for example, used clothing or a used car have taken.

The durability, design and overall quality of these systems should meet or exceed your high standards in either case.

Office Furniture in Toronto: An Ideal Solution

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

No matter the reason your company is looking for office furniture in Toronto, be it moving locations, redesigning a renovated office or otherwise, Executive Furniture Rentals can provide the ideal solution. Renting office furniture in Toronto provides a host of benefits and is on-trend with corporate practices in these fast times.

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.

Cleaning Wood Furniture

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

As the ultimate destination for Toronto furniture rental solutions, we here at Executive Furniture Rentals know a thing or two about furniture.  After all, our organization has roots in the Canadian furniture rental industry that are over half a century old, when Arthur Miller founded Canadian Furniture Leasing to provide affordable home furniture to those with no credit to veterans of World War II.  From those humble origins a lifetime ago, we’ve expanded to our current capacity, and we’ve picked up a fair amount of wisdom—especially about furniture—along the way.

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.

Kitchen Furniture in Toronto

Friday, July 16th, 2010

With 30,000 square feet of showroom space to work with, we have quite a spectrum of options to satisfy any furniture customer’s needs.  From leather couches to coffee tables, from office panels and systems to bar stools, we’ve got you covered.  This post, we’re going to focus on the kitchen, and discuss some tips for picking out furniture ideal for its needs.  Executive Furniture Rentals is truly the premier destination for kitchen furniture in Toronto, and we’re going to help you get the most out of our selection.

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.
