1. Create Inviting Living Spaces: Enhance the living area to be both functional and welcoming. We provide high-quality, durable furniture that balances aesthetic appeal with practicality, including stylish sofas, efficient storage solutions, and elegant coffee tables designed to improve the usability of the space. Our expert designers are committed to styling your living area effectively, ensuring it becomes the home’s centrepiece.
2. Prioritise Comfort and Sustainability in Bedrooms: Ensure that bedrooms serve as peaceful sanctuaries by using sustainable materials such as bamboo, recycled wood, and natural fibres. Selecting furniture with FSC-certified wood not only guarantees style but also promotes environmental stewardship, aligning each bedroom with modern living standards.
3. Modernise Kitchens with Functional Designs: Modern tenants value efficiency and functionality in their kitchens. Our kitchen packs include contemporary dining sets and essential cooking utensils, designed to minimise hassle. For kitchens that feel outdated, our refurbishment services can update them to match contemporary preferences.
4. Upgrade Bathrooms to Enhance Tenant Experience: Elevate bathrooms with contemporary fixtures and intelligent storage solutions. Our bathroom packs include more than just the basics, adding features that create a functional yet appealing atmosphere, enhancing the overall tenant experience.
5. Optimise Property Layout with Smart Storage Solutions: Maximise every inch of space in compact modern apartments with our innovative storage solutions, such as under-bed storage, built-in shelving, and closet organisers. These additions improve functionality and attractiveness of the properties and are all offered under InStyle’s umbrella of home furnishing services.
6. Embed Eco-Friendly Furniture and Appliances: Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of green furniture options and energy-efficient appliances, enhancing the appeal of your properties as environmentally responsible living spaces.
7. Focus on Safety and Compliance in Furnishings: Ensuring tenant safety is a priority. All our furnishings comply with the highest safety standards, such as Crib 5, reinforcing the integrity and security of your offerings. This also makes us popular with Airbnbs across the country.
8. Deliver High-Quality Furnishings at Competitive Prices: Our furniture packages are designed to offer both style and durability at competitive prices, demonstrating the value of your properties without compromising on quality. We’ve recently introduced an Investor Furniture Package specifically designed to ensure a healthy ROI.
