How to Style a Rental Property to Lease It Faster

Furnishing or styling a rental in Melbourne: durable, easy-clean furniture that photographs well, helps a property lease faster and suits furnished rentals.

Whether you offer a furnished rental or simply style the property for photos and inspections, the right furniture helps a listing stand out and lease faster. For rentals, durability and easy cleaning matter as much as looks.

Choose hard-wearing, easy-clean pieces

  • Sofas: mid-tone fabrics such as grey or beige hide everyday wear better than very pale colours. A 3 seater with chaise covers a lot of seating in a compact footprint.
  • Dining chairs: wipe-clean PU or tightly woven fabric is practical for tenants.
  • Tables: sealed timber, glass or black finishes resist marks and are easy to wipe down.

Furnish for the likely tenant

A one or two bedroom apartment near transport usually suits young professionals: a compact sofa, a round 4 seater dining set and a coffee table are enough. A family home needs a larger sofa and a 6 seater dining set. Our guide to furniture for apartments covers sizing in detail.

Style for the listing photos

Photos are the first inspection. Keep the palette neutral, add a rug to define the living area, and place a few cushions and a plant. Avoid clutter: buyers and tenants want to imagine their own things in the space.

Keep costs predictable

Buying brand-new clearance furniture keeps your setup cost low, and every piece comes with a 1-year warranty. Because we deliver Australia-wide, interstate landlords can furnish a Melbourne property without visiting.

Common questions

What furniture should a furnished rental include?

Typically a sofa, coffee table, dining table and chairs, a bed and bedside tables, plus window coverings. Choose durable, easy-clean pieces.

What sofa colour is best for a rental?

Mid-tone neutrals such as grey or beige fabric hide everyday wear better than white or very pale colours.

Can you deliver to a rental property if I am interstate?

Yes. We deliver Australia-wide, with delivery from $40 priced by distance from our Cheltenham showroom.
