Small Space, Big Impact: Staging Compact Homes

Home staging plays a vital role in selling a property quickly and for the best price by enhancing the house or apartment’s appeal. It makes a place more attracting to prospective purchasers by helping them picture themselves living there.

But if you have a more compact place to sell, for example in London where space is always at a premium, you face the additional hurdle of making the most of the room you have. However, there are many ways in which hiring the right furniture can optimise a tighter area, some of which you may not previously have thought of, including:

1.)    Adaptability

When you rent furniture, you can easily switch styles, shapes and sizes to suit different needs and looks, including in smaller spaces, without having to worry about storage or how you will dispose of the items at the end of the selling process.

2.)    Cost

If you buy furniture just to stage a property, it can work out to be quite expensive – furniture hire offers a more cost-effective solution, giving you access to quality pieces without committing to purchasing or owning them.

3.)    Multifunctional furnishings

If you rent pieces such as ottomans, which also have storage, or tables which double up as dining surfaces or cocktail stands, you maximise space – and renting can often make access to these kinds of items more possible. The same goes for stackable chairs or modular seating, which allow you to make the best use of the available square feet.

4.)    A curated range

Use the services of furniture hire firms to stage a property and you can choose from a broad line-up of curated pieces, including those which are more compact to suit smaller spaces. So items can be specifically chosen to make the most of room in these areas, without compromising on style.

Indeed, you can handpick pieces to select the style of your property, whatever that may be, again without the commitment of an outright purchase.

Finally, with this kind of hire, you get all the other benefits of furniture hire that you do for any size of home – from reduced waste and added convenience (e.g. in not needing storage space) to professional advice on space planning and furniture choice to help optimise layout and achieve a look that’s both functional and visually appealing. Equally, the service often includes delivery and set-up, saving time and effort still further.
