When life as you know it flips upside down and you’re no longer tied to an office, it only makes sense to rethink your location and reassess. Testing out cities is the new normal, which means loads of us are living in temporary rentals. Sure, you could fill a short-term spot with IKEA staples, but honestly? Go the rental furniture route. Because wouldn’t you rather sit down for dinner on a brand-newCesca chairthat costs you only $12 a month? It’s giving main character energy.

Plus, furniture lead times are honestly off the charts right now. Order any given sofa and you might be watching TV on the floor for months—which is extra-annoying when you’re only staying somewhere for a limited time. But with buzzy rental brands popping up left and right, you can get your hands on designer goods in just four to seven business days. Oh, and you won’t lift a finger—companies likeConjureeven handle assembly. Chef’s kiss.

Yes, renters will benefit, but honestly so will anyone who has justpurchased their first home. The try-before-you-buy setup some of these brands offer lets you actually live with, say, a sofa before dropping serious money on it. (Your monthly rental fee even goes toward your purchase if you decide to commit—PSA, you guys.) Not to mention, these services are a total lifesaver for trend lovers who want to switch things up whenever the mood strikes.

Here are a few of my go-to companies that’ll help make any space—fleeting or forever—feel like home.

Less than a year old and already iconic, Conjure teams up with top interior designers likeAdam Charlap Hymanto source the chicest pieces (150 and counting!) and rent them out for anywhere from three to 12 months. From there you can renew, buy, or trade in. They hook you up with free delivery and assembly, which is a huge win when ordering larger-scale items. (On average, you’ll pay about half the retail value of a piece during a one-year lease.)

Delivers to:The five boroughs of NYC, plus Long Island, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Good for:The trend-chaser who also appreciates a timeless classic. From acurvy velvet sofato aKartell Ghost chair, it’s all about that new-meets-old mix. Obsessed.

Item we’d want to rent:This asymmetrical dining table that’s big enough to host a proper dinner party.

The indecisive decorator will also be obsessed with the variety: even decorative mirrors and table lamps are in the mix at Oliver, and styles span everything from mid-century modern to boho. There’s no membership feeANDthere’s free assembly and delivery, so it’s as low-risk as it gets. Honestly, if you’d rather skip renting altogether, you can purchase some of the pieces straight up.

Delivers to:Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and Seattle.

Good for:Anyone who wants to hire a pro designer but can’t swing it. Oliver has a “curated sets” section where you can basically rent an entire room. It takes the guesswork out of the whole process—a lifesaver if you’re a first-time decorator with zero clue where to start.

Item we’d want to rent:The chair of the moment.

Launched in 2017, Feather basically pioneered the furniture rental model. The main thing it has going for it? Choice, choice, choice. There are three plans and 200-plus furniture and decor pieces for every single room to choose from. Rent your item for up to a year, then either swap it, buy it, return it, or renew your plan at a discounted rate to keep using it.

Delivers to:More than 2,000 zip codes in California, Maryland, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Good for:Renters who want brands a few steps up from IKEA—think West Elm and Floyd.

Item we’d want to rent:The Internet’s favorite modern bed frame.

Kamarq offers a super curated selection, and yes, there’s a two- to three-month wait to receive your rentals—but its colorful, Japanese-inspired designs have prices that honestly can’t be beat. A shelf, for example, can be yours for just $4 a month. Each piece can either be replaced, returned, or bought at the end of the 12-month subscription.

Delivers to:New York.

Good for:Maximalists in tiny spaces. The pieces are modular and cover basically every color of the rainbow. Since storage is the focus, you won’t have to sacrifice functional square footage to bring in a pop of personality. Obsessed.

Item we’d want to rent:A $12-per-month bubblegum pink coffee table that looks straight out of a high-end design fair.

Launched in 2015 as an interior design furnishing service for hotels (think: apartment-stay pioneer Sonder), Fülhaus specializes in curating collections from over 300 decor brands. Their interior designers also pull together six looks per season based on current trends, so it’s easy to shop for individual pieces or full rooms to rent or buy. Rental contracts run for one year, then you can swap or return, or purchase your furniture at a discount.

Delivers to:United States and Canada (excluding Hawaii and Alaska)

Good for:Anyone who wants to refresh their space like their closet—seasonally. And modern nomads trying out WFH… everywhere (Fülhaus is one of the only nationwide rental businesses).

Item we’d want to rent:This perfectly posh baby blue sofa that nails the “all dressed up and nowhere to go” vibe.
