Everything
you need to know about apartment furniture in a nutshell!
At
The Apartment Store we understand the importance of buying the
right furniture pack for your apartment. Knowing a little about
furniture packages will help you understand exactly what you are
buying.
Sofas
and lounge suites
Sofas
are the biggest single item cost in a furniture pack. Leather
is the most durable for sofas and lounge furniture especially
for rental properties.The most important issue is the material
used. The cheaper option is faux leather (PVC). PVC can look stylish
however it does not have the durability and comfort of leather.
Fabric sofas are the next best quality using macro-suede or a
high quality fabric. Leather and macrosuede are the easiest fabrics
to keep clean and looking good over time.
Dining
and bedroom furniture
Solid
wood can be re-furbished easily and is ideal for rental properties.
However, good quality MDF board or laminated board is durable
and easy to keep clean for tenants. Furniture needs to have strong
legs, quality handles and drawers and metal or plastic runners.
Metal
Furniture
Chrome
furniture is the most expensive (often used in Hotels and Motels).
Glass and chrome work well in apartments because it is easy to
maintain and will look good for many years. Powder coated furniture
is the cheaper option and has a dull grey finish. Some landlords
are not too keen on glass table tops as they can get scratched
easily.
Making
it work within your budget
You
could shop around for individual furniture items to create the
best look you can. However, you are unlikely to have access to
the great furniture deals than importers have. Any home stager
worth their salt should be able to create 'THE WOW FACTOR'
for you within your budget. It's all in the detail and home stagers
have an eye for detail (you can't put a dollar figure on experience!).

can create for your budget here.
