Developers use show houses to help them to sell the homes that they have built. They dress, or stage, two or three houses on each development to give prospective buyers a better idea of what their completed homes will look like.
The majority of people are not good at visualising. When presented with a newly built, but empty home all they see is a series of bland boxes. When the developer dresses that space with furniture the houses they are trying to sell are transformed. Buyers can see just how nice these homes would be to live in. They automatically imagine themselves living in one of those new houses. Trying to sell new houses without well-dressed show houses is an uphill task.
Options for Staging Show Houses
Show houses have to be decorated and furnished to a high standard. This means that buying furniture for a show home can be very expensive. Choosing the right furniture, arranging for it to be delivered, putting it together and installing it in the show home can be a time-consuming process.
As a result of the cost and hassle, many developers are hiring the furniture they use in their show homes instead. They find it far easier to visit a furniture hirer’s website, choose the pieces they want without leaving the office and get a quote.
The best firms deliver and install all of the furniture they provide and can do so in as little as 48 hours. They are flexible about the hire period, so if a developer sells all of their homes quicker than anticipated they can have the hired furniture picked up early.
The Advantages of Hiring Furniture for Show Houses
Hiring furniture for show houses has several advantages over buying in. In many cases, hiring is cheaper than buying. The cost of hiring furniture for a business is tax deductable and the VAT can be claimed back. Hiring furniture can be done far more quickly than shopping around and buying individual pieces. The look achieved using hired furniture is often superior because pieces are specifically designed to be mixed and matched.
