Going off to college can be incredibly exciting, especially if you’re a freshman. For many, this is the first time they’ll be leaving their parents to go off on their own. But decorating and furnishing an apartment or dorm can be expensive, especially when college students aim to save money rather than spend it. While purchasing furniture may not be a cost-effective option, students can opt to rent their furniture.

Interior Furniture Resources is based in Harrisburg, PA, and serves Pennsylvania and parts of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia. Here, we offer insights about dorm and student apartment furniture rentals.

What Will You Need for Your Student Apartment?

When deciding what you need for your apartment or dorm, viewing the many options can be overwhelming. At Interior Furniture Resources, we understand how important it is to feel a sense of independence while you’re away at school, and one great way to do that is by renting dorm or apartment furniture. That’s why we offer packages that allow students to have the apartment they dream of while remaining cost-effective. From furniture to bed linens to electronics, we have you covered. Some studio apartment furniture pieces students may consider renting include:

• Beds
• Extra storage space, such as standing closets or dressers
• Sofas
• Electronics
• Houseware packages
• Sheets
• Desks
• Cleaning gear (such as irons and ironing boards or vacuums)
• Dining tables
• Headboards

Why Rent Furniture for College?

While it can be nice to have your own furnishings, it isn’t always the most practical or affordable option. You could end up spending thousands of dollars on new furniture. On the other hand, you could purchase second-hand furniture. However, that doesn’t always give you much freedom in terms of style. In addition, if you’re living with roommates, purchasing furniture can potentially cause tension and disagreements if roommates don’t pay their share.

By renting small space furniture, you can find everything you need at an affordable price. Renting apartment furniture tends to be more cost-effective than purchasing furniture, typically involving a monthly fee with no strings attached. It also allows you to customize your space in any way you want with new, stylish, and modern furniture options. In addition, you won’t have to worry about renting a truck to move your furniture home at the end of the semester. We will drop off and pick up pieces from wherever you are located.

Student Furniture Rental From Interior Furniture Resources

If you are moving in or around the Harrisburg, PA, area, Interior Furniture Resources wants to help you achieve your dream space. With our student furniture rental packages, students can furnish up to three rooms at an affordable cost. If you are looking to add more furniture items or want to furnish additional rooms, we can accommodate your needs for an added price. Because college students are typically only in the area for a short time, we offer flexible short-term and long-term furniture rental options. This makes moving back home for the summer easy and convenient.

Students will pay a monthly fee for their furniture throughout their lease agreement. When move-in day approaches, we deliver the furniture and set it up for you. We also schedule a pick-up for when you’re done and ready to move out. This benefit may reduce moving costs because it saves you from lugging large pieces of furniture home and storing them. Instead, you can pack up your essentials and we’ll take care of the rest.

How the Rental Process Works

Interior Furniture Resources makes it easy to find the furniture you need. To start the rental process, tell us where you’ll be staying and how long you’ll need the furniture. Then you can choose your student furniture rental package, your desired furniture pieces, and any extras you may want.

Next, you provide billing information and other personal details. This part usually happens online, but students can call us if they prefer. If completed online, we will give you a call to confirm and discuss your order and the location of the delivery. We recommend ordering your rental furniture about two weeks before your move-in date.

On move-in day, our movers deliver your furniture to your specified location. We also set everything up for you, keeping you from heavy lifting and spending time putting the pieces together. If you find the furniture does not meet your expectations, or if you just want to switch things up throughout the semester, you can add or exchange furniture, as necessary.

Student Housing Assistance

When it comes to finding the right space to kick off your new semester, we understand how difficult it can be to find affordable options close to your university. That’s why, in addition to rental furniture, Interior Furniture Resources offers a student housing program with rental agents who can assist you in finding the perfect place.

Interior Furniture Resources also helps with design, empowering you to turn the dorm or apartment into an oasis that fits your style. Additionally, we have a variety of furniture that comes in many fun and exciting colors to match your aesthetic tastes. With the help of our design experts, your space will bring you joy and comfort after a long day of classes.
