To buy furniture, or to not buy, when you shift your home?

If you’re moving to a new city for only a few months, we’re sure you’ve asked yourself this question: When moving to a new city, should I take all my furniture along?

If you relocate frequently, taking all your furniture with you everywhere doesn’t make sense.

Why move with a truck full of household goods, when you can move with only what’s absolutely necessary?

Two, would all the furniture you have now fit perfectly in your new house? After all the layouts of the two homes have to match for that to happen, right?

Three, there is a cost to moving, after all. By planning your shift in advance, you will stand to gain.

Metropolitan life in India is changing fast. Cities are now opening to a new lifestyle. Today, just about anything you need at your new home is available on rent.

With Glovve’s furniture rental services, you can easily rent sofas, couches, reclining chairs, liquor cabinets, beds and more. But that’s not all. You can even lease electronic items and appliances.

Why buy, when you can easily rent?

Here are 5 reasons why renting furniture is better than buying.

1. Save upfront investments of time and money

Moving to a new city is expensive. Add to this the cost of buying new furniture. It’s sure to burn a hole in your pocket.

With Glovve’s furniture rental services, you can easily rent furniture for your new home. It’s cheaper than buying furniture.

If you’re moving for a short time, buying new furniture doesn’t make sense. Carrying your old furniture also isn’t the best idea. This is when furniture rental services save the day for you.

2. Experiment with different furniture styles, easily

Not sure if that bright coloured sofa will look good in your living room?

Love that asymmetric teakwood centre table?

Fancy the Siemens Washing Machine, or the Samsung 3-door Refrigerator?

If you’re buying these are things you’ll have to think twice about. But when it comes to renting furniture or leasing appliances, there’s no risk.

You can easily experiment with different colours, models, and styles without the fear of being stuck with it for the long term.

3. Get rid of furniture you don’t need without heartburn

Once you’ve bought furniture, you’re stuck with it for a long time. If, after using it, you don’t like it, selling it off isn’t easy. Even if your furniture is very new, you can’t sell it at the same price you purchased it for.

You have only two options now. Either way, you stand to lose.

1. Stay unhappy and use the furniture because you’ve invested so much money in it.
2. Or sell it and lose money.

But if you rent furniture, you get it at a fraction of what you’d pay for it if you were to buy it.

What’s more, if you don’t like it after using it, you can return it for something else.

4. Enjoy fast and hassle-free delivery

If you’ve ever gone furniture shopping before, you’ll know how time-consuming it is.

If you’re renting furniture, you can easily look at pictures in your free time and rent furniture online.

All you need to do is enter your preferred date, time, and location for delivery. And we’ll deliver the furniture at your doorsteps without any hassles.

5. Relocate and save shifting costs with fewer household items

Moving to a new city only for a few years? Have a job that requires you to relocate frequently?

Your relocation costs can be reduced drastically if you don’t have too much furniture. By renting furniture, you are not only saving the money you’d otherwise invest in buying furniture, but you’re also saving your relocation costs.

Glovve offers door-to-door home moving and relocation services to ensure a zero-tension move.
