Renting Furniture With a Twist!

Moving into an unfurnished apartment? If you don’t want to buy furniture straight away, leasing can be a great option. But it doesn’t have to mean you can’t get exactly what you want. FELICIA KOH from Gallery 278 by Esco Leasing tells us more.

At Gallery 278, says Felicia, you can have a bespoke piece created that you can then rent – and eventually buy, if you want. “We offer the option for you to own the items after the lease or opt to budget for a residual lease so you can have something to remember your Singapore stint by.” Here’s what else to know before you start the process.

6 Tips for a Happy Leasing Package

#1 “Take into account the delivery terms. Some shops might be up to 12 weeks for standard items. If you opt for custom pieces from Gallery 278, we have a complimentary loan service that provides a comparable item so you won’t have to sleep or picnic on the floor while you wait!”

#2 “Ask if delivery and installation are included in the price. Also, let the store know if the delivery is potentially a difficult one, on account of stairs or other obstacles.”

#3 “If you’re thinking of buying the leased item, consider what pieces you already have in your home country – you don’t want to double up. And think about how the furniture will fit in, from a design and size perspective.”

#4 “Take advantage of in-house designers, like the ones we have at Esco Leasing. They can help you decide what needs to be prioritised for your budget.”

#5 “Leasing can give you the opportunity to try something new that you may not have the courage to buy. We constantly change as people; our homes should reflect that.”

#6 “Finally, however you decide to go about furnishing your new interior, remember it’s the people living in a house that make it a home. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to have some fun!”
