Rental Furniture is a Great Resource

By
Home Stager with Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty & Joyce's Interiors

These homeowners watched HGTV and decided to clear out their items to make their home more saleable. 

I was called in to stage this home.  I brought in a lot of accessories besides renting furniture,  I repurposed their items thruout their home.

The livingroom shows much brighter and up to date.

Rental furniture is such a wonderful resource.

Joyce, what a difference the staging made in this living room!  I didn't know that professional stages use rented furnture. Do you maintain a large inventory of accessories or buy them as needed.  I would like tolearn more about home staging.  Thank you. Roseann

Joyce - smart move by the seller's and nice job by you!  Rental furnishings is definitely a good source to have as a stager ~ and proved the point.  :)

Rental furniture is not only a great resource but when you have a big job it is a blessing to have their guys move everything into place. I am surprised the clients moved their pieces into storage and went with the rental fee of these chairs.

It does make a difference

Thanak you for your comments.

The homeowners not only rented the two chairs, but a sofa, and ottoman.  It made a huge difference in the room.  I also placed a fake plasma TV on the wall.  They are inexpensive to buy.

I repurposed those large chairs upstairs to create a study in a bedroom that wasn't being used.

I tend to have a lot of accessories that I have bought over time.  Many coming from Homegoods

Renting furniture can be a nominal way to showcase a home.  For three months the furniture with delivery and pick up is $1600.00.  I'm careful with the pieces I choose and again tend to use their artwork thruout the house and accessories if they have some, also.
