Why Furniture Hire is a Game Changer for Property Staging

If you’re staging a property to increase its appeal to prospective purchasers, you’ll no doubt be wondering how to maximise its appeal. One thing you may not have thought about is hiring furniture for this process – yet it can be a real game changer.

Here’s why:

1.)    Save money

Particularly if you need to stage multiple properties or require varied styles for different markets, buying furniture outright to stage a home isn’t always the most cost-effective option. Indeed, it can be expensive. By hiring pieces instead, you avoid this hefty upfront outlay. The hire firm will take care of collecting the items once a sale or let has been agreed, so you don’t even have to worry about storage costs.

Finally, some providers offer pay-as-you-go models, meaning you only pay for the pieces during the property staging period. Again, this makes the whole process very cost-effective.

2.)    Maximise the appeal of your property

There are many benefits to showing viewers round a furnished rather than an empty place. It’s much easier for them to visualise the space as their own, and appreciate its potential, for a start. Equally, if items are strategically positioned, the home can feel bigger and more welcoming. Essentially, there’s more likely to be an emotional connection, since the property will simply seem more like a home.

Professional staging and high-end furnishings set a property apart in an intensely competitive sector.

3.)    Convenience and flexibility

Many providers have a broad range of furniture styles from which you can take your pick, whether you’re after a classic, traditional look or something more contemporary and minimalist. That means you can tailor your staging to suit your target audience and the design of the property. Hire the furniture for however long you need it for, whether that’s weeks or months.

Finally, there’s also convenience in that hire firms will typically take care of delivery, set-up and removal of the pieces, making life really straightforward.

In summary, hiring furniture for home staging can broaden your property’s appeal to a wider market, especially if you stick to neutral styles. It can also draw attention to the best features of a flat or house, whether that’s a fireplace, view or spacious living area.
