My Functional Yet Space-Saving Home Office Furniture

If you plan to sell your home in the near future, the staging of your home is an important thing to consider. Staging is the way that furniture is arranged in the rooms to make the home look as visually appealing to potential buyers as possible. If you have outdated or worn furniture, consider renting model home furniture to use in the space until your home sells. The following guide walks you through a few tips for renting model home furniture to use when attempting to sell your home.

Create a Guide

The first thing you need to do is measure each room and create a diagram on paper that shows where every door and window is in the rooms. This allows you to know how much space you have between each window and door to place furniture, artwork, or lighting. You do not want to clutter the spaces as it can make them appear to be smaller, which can be off-putting to some buyers.

Consider the Style of the Furniture

Next, you need to consider the style of the furniture you want to have in the home. A real estate agent can help you assess the style of most potential buyers who are looking for homes in the specific area where the home is located. There are some areas where buyers are looking for a modern look, while other areas have buyers are looking for a more traditional style.

Consider the Size of the Furniture

You want to be sure that the furniture you choose fits into the rooms nicely. You want for the home to look warm and inviting, while still giving buyers the ability to walk around the space with ease. The real estate agent can help you determine the necessary pieces of furniture that are needed for each room to give buyers an idea for what the room will look like when furnished.  

Consider the Duration of the Rental

There are some real estate companies who rent model home furniture from rental companies on a regular basis and thus have a long-term contract with the company to rent the furniture for an ongoing basis. If your real estate company does not have this type of contract, be sure to discuss the duration of the rental in full before actually renting the furniture. You want to be sure that you do not have to pay for the rental any longer than absolutely necessary. It is often best to rent model furniture on a week to week basis.

Once you have considered all of these factors, you can rent the furniture you need and start staging your home as soon as possible. Be careful with the furniture and be sure that it is not damaged while you are renting it as you may have to pay to have the furniture repaired if damage is done to it.
