Furniture Packs for Landlords in the North East — Everything You Need to Know

By the Home Store Living Team  |  Newcastle Showroom, 61 Shields Road, NE6 1DL  |  Est. 2002

Whether you're furnishing a buy-to-let property in Gateshead, fitting out an HMO in Sunderland, decking a holiday let in Northumberland, or getting an Airbnb ready in Newcastle city centre — having the right furniture, delivered fast, at a price that makes commercial sense, is everything.

At Home Store Living, we've been supplying furniture to landlords, property investors, and short-let operators across the North East of England since 2002. Over two decades, we've furnished hundreds of rental properties — from single-room HMOs to large commercial serviced apartments — and we understand exactly what landlords need: durable furniture that looks great, tenants won't destroy, and won't eat into your yield.

What is a landlord furniture pack?

A landlord furniture pack — sometimes called a property furniture pack or rental furniture pack — is a bundled set of furniture and soft furnishings designed to fully or partially furnish a rental property in one go.

Rather than sourcing a sofa here, a bed there, and a dining table from somewhere else, a furniture pack gives you everything you need in a coordinated set, delivered together, often at a significantly better price than buying items individually.

What's typically included in a furniture pack?

The exact contents vary depending on the property type and number of bedrooms, but a standard landlord furniture pack from Home Store Living can include:

•       Living room: sofa or corner sofa, coffee table, TV unit, rugs, soft furnishings

•       Bedroom(s): bed frame, mattress, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables

•       Dining area: dining table and chairs

•       Additional items: lamps, mirrors, artwork, decorative accessories

•       Optional: white goods sourcing, mattress protectors, cushions and throws

We build packs around your property — whether it's a studio flat, a 4-bedroom HMO, or a 10-unit serviced apartment block, we scale accordingly.

Furniture packs for HMO landlords in the North East

HMO (Houses in Multiple Occupation) landlords face unique challenges when it comes to furnishing. Furniture needs to be:

•       Durable enough to withstand high tenant turnover

•       Compliant with fire safety regulations (BS 7177 fire-resistant upholstery)

•       Easy to clean and maintain

•       Attractive enough to command higher room rents in a competitive market

•       Consistent across multiple rooms for a professional, managed-accommodation feel

Our HMO furniture packs are specifically designed with these requirements in mind. We stock fire-retardant sofas and upholstered beds, robust dining furniture, and bedroom suites that balance cost-efficiency with the kind of quality that photographs well for room listings on Rightmove, SpareRoom, and Facebook Marketplace.

Fast delivery matters for HMO landlords. If a room sits empty for two weeks while you wait for furniture, that's lost rental income. Our North East warehouse means we can often deliver within 3–5 working days, and for local Newcastle and Gateshead properties, we can sometimes turn around even faster.

Furniture packs for Airbnbs and holiday lets

The short-let market in the North East has grown significantly over the past five years. Newcastle city centre, Northumberland coast, the Lake District fringes, and County Durham all attract strong Airbnb demand — and guests have much higher expectations than a standard rental tenant.

Airbnb and holiday let guests judge a property on first impression, and that impression starts with the furniture. If your sofa looks tired, your beds are basic, or your dining setup feels like a student flat, guests will say so in their reviews — and your ratings will suffer.

What makes great Airbnb furniture?

•       Photogenic — looks good in listing photos (this directly impacts bookings)

•       Comfortable — guests are on holiday, comfort matters more than in a standard let

•       Easy to clean — darker fabrics and wipeable surfaces save your host rating

•       Durable — high turnover means furniture takes more wear than a standard tenancy

•       Distinctive — standout interiors get more shares, saves, and repeat bookings

Our showroom on Shields Road carries a wide selection of velvet sofas, upholstered beds, marble and glass dining tables, and decorative accessories that will transform a basic property into a 5-star Airbnb listing. We can advise on styling, colour schemes, and what works best for the North East rental market specifically.

Holiday home and caravan furniture packs

Furnishing a holiday home or caravan is a different challenge again. Space is usually more limited, durability is even more important, and you want furniture that makes guests feel like they're in a proper home rather than a functional box.

Home Store Living stocks compact and space-smart furniture options that work particularly well for holiday homes, lodges, and static caravans across Northumberland, County Durham, and the Yorkshire coast. Our team can advise on:

•       Compact sofas and sofa beds for dual-purpose living spaces

•       Space-saving dining sets (extendable tables, stackable chairs)

•       Bedroom furniture scaled for smaller rooms

•       Robust, easy-clean upholstery options

•       Home fragrance and accessories to create a welcoming atmosphere

We've furnished holiday parks and individual lodges across the region — visit our Newcastle showroom to see the full range in person and discuss your specific requirements with our team.

Commercial furniture packs for serviced apartments and professional lets

If you're operating at a commercial scale — serviced apartments, corporate lets, build-to-rent schemes, or student accommodation — you need a furniture supplier who can handle volume, consistency, and logistics without drama.

Home Store Living has supplied commercial furniture packs to property operators across the North East for over 20 years. We understand the commercial requirements: consistent finishes across multiple units, phased delivery to fit your completion schedule, and furniture that's genuinely built to last in a high-turnover commercial environment.

Our commercial furniture pack service includes:

•       Volume pricing for multi-unit orders

•       Dedicated account management for larger projects

•       Phased delivery to align with your build or renovation schedule

•       Showroom appointments for developers and property managers

•       Finance packages spread across your portfolio

Which furniture pack is right for your property?

Finance options for landlords and property investors

Furnishing a rental property is a capital investment, and tying up cash in furniture can slow your ability to grow your portfolio. That's why Home Store Living offers flexible finance packages on furniture packs — allowing you to spread the cost over time while your property generates rental income from day one.

Finance is available on orders over a minimum threshold, subject to status. Our team can walk you through the options in our Newcastle showroom or over the phone. For commercial multi-unit orders, we can discuss bespoke payment terms.
