5 Things You Can Do With Furniture That Doesn’t Fit Into Your Apartment

Many people discover that when they move home, their new accommodation just hasn't got the space they need for some of their larger furniture pieces. Smaller rooms, narrower doorways, lower ceilings or even simply an awkward dog-leg on the stairs or in the hallway that makes moving larger pieces into the property impossible, can all be reasons why furniture you've brought with you just isn't going to fit. If you've ended up with one or two pieces leftover with no obvious home, don't worry! Take a look at our five top options for re-homing or re-purposing furniture that doesn't fit into your new apartment.

Depending on the furniture item, you could get a good price by putting it on the market. Auctions, bidding sites, social media, yard sales, booties, or small ads are all great places to advertise unwanted furniture. Offering delivery (use a dependable removal company and add the cost to the sale price) may make your furniture more appealing to buyers.

In some cases, an old piece of furniture in poor condition will have outlived its lifespan and will need to be binned. If you don't want it any more, ask your removalist to transport it directly to the tip. Alternatively, you can advertise it as free for a refurbishment or up-cycling project. It's surprising how many people will take old furniture pieces off your hands for nothing!

Would your friends or relations benefit from furniture that's too large or awkwardly shaped to fit in your apartment? If you arrange the transfer of ownership in advance, your removalist could take the items straight to their new home from your old accommodation. Alternatively, charities are always looking for good-quality furniture. Another option is to advertise the items in your local 'FREE STUFF' Facebook group and see if anyone could make use of them.

Depending on the furniture piece, it may be possible to transform it into something amazing! Whilst some pieces will be fit only for firewood, the timber from other pieces can be re-used to create a fresh item. Some people like to re-size their furniture, creating a piece that will fit in their new accommodation. 

If you're got furniture that doesn't fit into your new apartment, your local removalist will be of enormous assistance when it comes to transportation and storage. In addition, being highly experienced, they often have plenty of suggestions for ensuring your furniture is dealt with appropriately.
