Residential Furniture Hire: The Secret to Breathtaking Show Homes

Mar 30, 2025

In the luxury property market, first impressions count. Buyers are expecting more than a house, they want to picture a lifestyle. That’s where carefully-selected, expertly-styled furniture comes in.

A beautiful show home can instantly win over buyers. All it takes is one look, and they’ll be asking you when they can move in! At Lounge and Linger, we specialise in residential furniture hire. With our styling approach and selection of beautiful furniture, we can turn an empty property into a dream home.

In this article, we’re going to talk through our residential furniture hire service, why it’s essential for your next property sale.

The Benefits of Residential Furniture Hire

Increase the perceived value of the property

Hiring residential furniture to dress a home does not mean you can increase the price of the property. However, it can help you increase the perceived value of the property.

An empty property can feel cold and uninspiring, it’s often hard for a potential buyer to imagine themselves living there. The right furniture is the cure to this. It’s the little accessories that make a house a home. And we can help with those. We can supply and style:

  • Chairs and tables
  • Sofas and ottomans
  • Trolleys and shelving
  • Lighting
  • Faux plants
  • Soft furnishings

Increase the perceived size of the property

It might seem counterintuitive, but adding furniture to a space can actually make it feel bigger.

 An empty room lacks reference points, and without these, it’s hard for our brains to judge proportion. By adding furniture you can help outline the room’s dimensions, guiding the eye and creating a sense of flow and cohesion in the space. A well placed sofa or table also adds to the overall functionality of a room, demonstrating its usability.

Tailor the property to your target market

If you’re listing a high-end property, you need high-end furniture. Ikea just won’t cut it. The furniture should portray luxury, but it should also feel lived-in, and not completely staged. That’s why our styling service is so essential.

Our interior designers can strike the balance between perfect and personality, ensuring the property is portrayed in the very best light.
