008. Is rental for everyone?
Plus festive tablescape ideas! 🪅
shelff is a rental platform for homeware and furniture - the alternative to buying for your home.
Our monthly newsletter, the shelff digest, has been curated with the curious in mind, for those seeking inspiration for their spaces and are conscious about their impact.
How can renting homeware + furniture work for you? 🪑
Renting is not for everyone - there, we said it.
You may already have every item you need for your home.
For those with ever-changing styles, or those who need something for an occasion or short-term use, or perhaps you enjoy switching items around, shelff is here 💚
There are many items that you may not need or want to buy or own (after all London flats have the smallest median property size) - and that’s where renting items work perfectly!
Our trial is live in South East and East London - if you or family + friends are in the SE/E postcodes - let us know below and you might be invited to try us out!
shelff loves: Festive tablescapes
We’re sharing some favourite finds from the WWW. At shelff, we love browsing to find inspiration on how we can use items we already own!
This month we’re focussing on all things festive tablescapes: from traditional to maximalism, we have you covered 🪅🪅
A modern take on the green, festive table via Misette.
A playful number from tablescape queen Kirthana Naidu.
Gabriela Palatchi Elhadef’s red and pink combo makes for a decadent table.
A pastel heaven with classic ceramic pieces via Casa Viola.
A cottagecore take on the festive table via The Platera.
Why aren’t we talking more about furniture poverty?
The End Furniture Poverty campaign found that as many as 1 in 4 people can no longer access furniture they need through local welfare programmes.
If you’re looking to switch up your decor in the next couple of months, with pieces that you’re looking to get rid of, please consider some of the initiatives highlighted on our post instead 🌱
