It’s that time of year again. The holidays are all fast approaching, and it’s time to start thinking about what you want to put on your wish list.

At this age, it sometimes can be hard to think of what to put on the list, since we are “too old” for the gifts that our younger siblings will get to rip open. If you are moving into a new place, why not ask for rental furniture this holiday season? It will make you look very adult and will be very beneficial to you.

Here’s how.

Rental furniture saves money.

Furniture is really expensive, and since you want your place to look good, I’m sure you are going to be pretty picky about what is going to be in your place. To get good furniture for a great price, you can go online and see what companies have to offer, and then put the specific items that match your style on your list.

You will be able to create the vision you want without having to dig into your own savings, and the family members that are getting you the rental furniture will feel good about it because it is a great deal for an amazing value. The longer you lease, the better the price will be, so keep that in mind!

It’s convenient!

Asking for rental furniture while you are in college is better than buying furniture because it is much more convenient. You can either pick each piece of furniture separately to get all the pieces that match your style, or you can have the rental furniture experts find the furniture that will match your style and budget, so your whole place will match without you having to lift a finger. Pretty awesome, huh?

Your furniture will be delivered lickety split, so you won’t be waiting around, and the company may build and arrange all the furniture for you. This will give you more time to hang out with your family over the holidays since you won’t have to worry about attempting to build your furniture or employing your unwilling friends to drag the furniture up to your apartment.

Forget the storage hassle.

Living off campus seems like it is going to be for a long time, but you are going to graduate before you know it, and then what? If you bought all of your furniture you’ll now have to deal with renting a moving truck, getting all of your furniture into the truck, and then figuring out how to store it while you decide where your life is going next.

Why not skip all this and have your chosen furniture company do the pick-up for you. Renting furniture means that you can keep it as long as you need it, and as soon as you are done with school, you can call them and ask them to come get your stuff.

This way, you won’t be stuck with your college furniture when you move into a new place to start your life, and you won’t have any of the stress of getting all of your stuff out by yourself right after the excitement of graduation.

Make your Pinterest dreams come true.

If you are like me and like to stalk Pinterest, you might already have a vision about how you want your apartment to look. If you can pick out every piece of furniture that you want, and make everything flow, you will be able to make your little Pinterest heart feel complete. You will then be able to go crazy with the decorations. And if you want to switch the furniture up? No problem. May companies offer monthly rentals if you like, so if you enjoy change, you can switch it up.

This would be perfect for the Pinterest lover because you will be constantly discovering new ways to design and reorganize your place.

Are you moving across the country?

If you live on the west coast and just got into a school on the east coast, you are not going to be able to fly your furniture from your parents house all the way over. It will be so much money!

If you ask for rental furniture, you won’t have to worry about trying to ship furniture that you’ve had all your life over (you want new furniture anyway — that Hello Kitty bed is getting a little small), and you won’t have to stress about buying furniture in a brand new city that you don’t know.

Make your move as smooth as it can be with rental furniture, so you can focus on the important things like learning how to get around and how the new coast functions.

As  you can see, there are many benefits for putting rental furniture on your list this year. Just make sure to specify to your family members which items of furniture that you want!
