Helpful Tips For Decorating Your First Apartment With Rental Furniture

If you’ve recently graduated with a college degree, found a good job, and have signed the lease or rental agreement for your first apartment, congratulations. As your first experience living on your own, this is an exciting yet somewhat scary time in your life. It’s also a time when you’re going to need to furnish that apartment in a way that reflects your lifestyle and personality.

The Benefits of renting Furniture

However, purchasing an apartment full of new furniture is out of the question since you obviously don’t have the budget for it yet. So, the obvious choice is to visit your local furniture rentals company in Toronto and find what you need in order to be comfortable in your new place. There are a number of benefits to renting furniture such as:

• It’s cheaper than buying
• The delivery service will assemble any furniture as needed
• There’s no upfront cost involved
• Your apartment will be furnished within 48 business hours

Most importantly, when you consider how much furniture winds up in landfills (according to EPA statistics, about 9.8 million tons), renting furniture also benefits our environment.

Creating a comfortable, stylish Home

So what furniture rentals pieces in Toronto do you need to transform that empty space into the ideal living environment? Here are some pieces of furniture to consider based on their placement in your apartment:

• Bedroom – being able to get a good night’s sleep is a must but this must also be your sanctuary; you’ll need a bed, nightstand, armoire or dresser, lamps, maybe an area rug, and some artwork for the walls

• Dining area – depending on your apartment’s layout and size, rent barstools if there’s an island bar, otherwise a small table with 2 or 4 chairs will suffice

• Entryway – a narrow console table and decorative mirror hanging above it

• Kitchen – we recommend our kitchen basic essentials package

• Living room – when it comes to choosing the right furniture rentals in Toronto and décor, this is the most important room in your apartment; consider a sofa and chair combination, a coffee and end table, floor lamp, accent pillows, area rug, and some artwork for the walls

• Workspace – if there’s a good chance that you’ll occasionally be working at home, you’ll want a computer desk and office chair

Once you have the above basics in place to complement your style, you’ll feel right at home in your new apartment. And the flexibility of replacing your furniture anytime that you like ensures that you always have a reason to change the décor.
