In a world where flexibility, mobility and comfort are becoming increasingly important, “semi-furnished living” sounds like a practical interim solution. But first impressions can be deceptive: What is intended as a compromise between empty space and a fully furnished apartment quickly turns out to be impractical, inconsistent and sometimes problematic.
Partially furnished is an apartment with basic functional furnishings. The basic furnishings usually consist of a kitchen, bed, lighting, wardrobes and sofa or dining table. There is a lot of what you need to move in, but not everything. No overloaded furnishing style, no additional furnishings, just a few basics. However, the furnishings vary greatly, and important pieces of furniture or household appliances are often missing. This can lead to uncertainty for tenants: What is there, what needs to be brought along?
Long-term tenants who are staying for a limited period but still want to stay for a longer period. People in transition, for example when moving house, changing jobs or going through a divorce. Tenants who want to be flexible but would like to bring some of their own furniture with them.
The term is not precisely defined. This often leads to misunderstandings. The existing furniture may sometimes not match your own style of living. It is also often difficult to replace the furniture as it belongs to the landlord. In some cases, a surcharge is charged for furnishings, but this is not always justified in relation to the actual added value or comfort. The apartment also often looks unfinished.
At Hope Apartments, we have deliberately decided against the semi-furnished model out of conviction and experience. Our tenants are looking for a temporary home that is ready to move into immediately, is aesthetically pleasing and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of functionality.
Partially furnished apartments are often created for pragmatic reasons when owners “leave over” furniture. For future tenants, however, this does not result in a real home, but rather an interim solution that rarely feels good.
Our solution: fully furnished living with system and style.
