Renting furniture can be a lifesaver during a short-term relocation. It's also a great option for realtors or sellers who are staging a home.

However, rental furniture can get expensive for someone who just bought a house and is trying to sell their old one in a hurry. It can also seem like a lot of time and hassle for the individual who's relocating for only a short period of time. 

However, renting furniture is smart — if not necessary — when you're in these types of situations. Additionally, the good news is, there are ways to do it on a budget and on a deadline.

Studio apartments often seem like a great idea initially — so quaint and adorable and unique. 

It has so much potential! you think to yourself as you tour the tiny apartment and eventually sign a short-term lease. But as you begin to rent furniture and place it in your new tiny place, you quickly realize that using your space efficiently is going to be more important than making it adorable. 

Efficiency is key in a studio apartment. The kind of furniture you rent and where you choose to put it plays a huge role in that. Let us help with some fairly simple do's and don'ts.
