The art of furnishing rented accommodation
October 4, 2007 | Posted by Catherine
Good taste: you’ve either got it or you haven’t. Fortunately Jolene has it in spades. She’s a member of the interiors team, possibly responsible for buying the very piece of furniture on which you are daintily perched reading this right now, and her day to day job mostly involves furnishing our new properties in Coventry, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Nottingham as well as a few more cities to come (more on that soon).
When I was chatting to her earlier she was planning a fairly radical change of direction for our rental properties, working towards a more sophisticated, cosmopolitan, urban style, which makes sense considering most of our rented flats are in city centres.
“Modular furniture is the way forward,” she said in her lilting Irish accent. Apparently she has found a really good modular sofa which will allow tenants much more flexible seating arrangements within their shared accommodation. Sounds great - unless, like some people, you revel in those moments when you find forgotten cash down the back of the couch. I don’t suppose that happens so much with modular furniture.
