In the past, homes and businesses did not have any choice other than to buy any pieces of furniture they desired to use at any one time. Such furniture would then have to be put into storage until the next time it was needed. Today, it is possible to rent furniture whether you want it for just a day, or for several months. This article discusses why there is an uptrend in the practice of furniture hire, and why you should consider it.
High Storage Costs
Imagine the amount of space you would need to store the furniture you bought to seat the hundreds of guests that you invited to attend your wedding; you would need to construct a special addition to your home just to keep that volume of furniture.
You would still pay a premium if you decided to rent storage space outside your home to keep that furniture there. When this long-term cost is computed, it becomes very clear why more people are opting to rent furniture instead of buying it and then having to spend huge sums of money to store that furniture until they next need to use it.
Rapidly Changing Fashions
There are very many furniture makers today and they keep trying to outcompete one another by coming up with novel designs and styles. For this reason, buyers are quickly shifting allegiance from one style of furniture to another. For instance, leather couches can be popular during a given year and then fall out of favor the next year.
Furniture hire allows customers to change from one style of furniture to another without worrying about what they spent acquiring the previous set that they are now disposing of.
The Rise of Home-Staging
It is very rare for a family to own the same home for several decades before they move to another home. Homes frequently change ownership and real estate agents advise that a home with furniture in it is easier to sell than one that is empty.
Prospective buyers can easily see how homely the house they are considering to buy can be when it has furniture properly laid out in the different rooms such as the living room and master bedroom. This new practice (home staging) by home sellers has made furniture hire a necessity since you cannot buy special furniture just to show off your old home that you are selling.
If you find yourself in any of the situations above, do not hesitate to consult furniture hire companies, such as Rentasaur. You will reduce how much you spend on furniture for special events (such as a wedding) and you will access the latest, and most stylish, furniture on the market.

My yard is in the shade of both of my neighbour's homes for most of the day which makes it quite hard to grow some of my favourite plants. Even though the yard is shady I still want it to have some nice look ground cover and be a cool place to entertain people. I have used a combination of shade resistant plants and pavers to create a lovely space that is good for entertaining all year round. This blog has some tips on creating a pleasant atmosphere in your shady backyard, particularly if you have a yard that is too shady to grow many kinds of plants.
