India is witnessing a sudden surge in furniture renting demands and this want is here to stay. It’s certainly an interesting concept and millennials are the major player to have brought this sector into the spotlight.
Many might wonder the need of renting furniture when they can simply buy them. However, renting has proven its worth time and again especially when the stakes are money and time. India have finally realized that they too can flaunt comfortable and trendy furniture without shelling out thousands and thousands of money.
Furniture rental start-ups have provided a simple solution to various day to day problems that we often ignore or just learn to live with. This is an opportunity for our country to take a great leap towards the future of trend, décor, and technology. So what are the problems that furniture renting can solve?
It saves tons of money
Now every person can get their favorite piece of furniture without ruining their budget. Money is tight when you are a young professional and have just started your job. Renting is the far more feasible option here than buying.
A basic but good quality wardrobe starts at Rs. 25,000, whereas a proper bed with mattress comes at 40,000 in the market. But with renting all these can be acquired well below Rs. 5,000 per month.
Even if someone ends up buying a piece of furniture, it’s better to first try it. Simply rent a furniture piece and try it out at your home, see if it goes with the décor and whether its functional for your daily life. This decision will save a lot of money and time and will spare you from the regret of impulse buying.
Moving to a new city doesn’t seem a burden
In India, lakhs of youth are relocating to new cities every year. They often find it very hard to shift their entire collection of furniture to their new home. This can be because of the limited space in their new room or maybe they will again transfer to a new place very soon.
Instead of carrying a bunch of old bulky furniture or hurriedly buying new ones, simply rent them. This is why renting furniture is surging in India. People are now simply going online, renting their favorite bedroom, living room and dining room sets and watching as its being delivered and set up by the service provider.
It helps to enhance our personality
Furniture is no longer a simple means to meet our needs but it builds our personality as well. Old, gloomy, hand-me-down furniture does not go with the taste and personality of the young generation. Renting trendy, sleek and modern décor uplifts their mood and enhances their creativity. This also makes an impression on the guests and displays the homeowner’s impeccable taste and ability to take the right decisions.
Always in need for a change
The millennials of India love changes. Constant things tend to bore them. Renting furniture gives them the opportunity to experiment with new décors without the fear of expense. They can now change their furniture pieces to suit the different seasons or various festival themes.
Returning is simpler than selling
Every now and then we need to sell our old furniture but used furniture always garners a loss of money. There is no profit in this transaction.
But with renting furniture you only pay for what you enjoy and no extra cost. Simply call the service providers and they will pick up the items from your doorstep.
