Student Accommodation Experts

LOFT provides an end-to-end service to become your interiors partner. We believe in keeping things simple, so you’ll be assigned a dedicated account handler who will be your main point of contact.

If you need to order replenishment furniture, discuss our latest student products, rearrange a delivery or you’d like a general update, your account manager will ensure everything you need is arranged.

Stress-free delivery

Time is of the essence in student properties. Furniture needs to be installed and ready for use before the academic year starts, and replenishment pieces need to be delivered as soon as possible.

LOFT’s delivery & installation team can work around you and the students. With distribution centres in Manchester and London, we can reach most student properties in the country.

Expert installation

With hundreds of items needed to fully furnish a PBSA development, we know finding the time and resources to install every item is borderline impossible.

Our installation teams are trained and insured and are specialised in student installations. We can distribute and install quickly across your development with minimal disruption. Working alongside our project management teams, all works are subject to a detailed quality assessment sign-off prior to handover. 

Remove & recycle

Student furniture takes a beating. When pieces are no longer fit for use, simply throwing them out should never be an option.

Recycling is a huge part of our business ethos. Once we have installed your new furniture, we take away all the packaging and any pieces that you no longer want. We then send salvageable furniture to be given a new lease of life, and recycle materials from items that can’t be fixed up.

Replenishment

There will be a time when you need student furniture replaced immediately. Perhaps a desk is missing a leg, or the frame of a sofa has been damaged to the point where it’s no longer safe for use.

We aim to replace all items within a 24 hour period and, naturally, we double-check the new pieces are safe, durable and fit for purpose.

Choosing the right PBSA furniture supplier

Your brand’s image is what makes your development so appealing. Online reviews, testimonials and word of mouth are the key ways students decide where they want to live. With that said, everything about your PBSA needs to meet — and exceed — expectations, including your external partners.

When choosing a furniture supplier, it’s important to remember that the company’s staff will be working in close proximity to your student residents, and anything they say or do will reflect on your brand.

Sticking to an agreed delivery schedule, being polite and respectful towards the students, and keeping disruption to an absolute minimum are just some of LOFT’s key traits. We understand that the right attitude and work ethic will increase your development’s reputation, which is why we put our all into every project and installation.

When furnishing student accommodation, it’s important to keep both style and practicality in mind. Students want to be proud of where they live, and quality furnishings certainly help. But there’s no point in furniture if it can’t be used properly. Imagine your communal dining area only has a small table installed. It’s a stunning table, but there are 10 students all trying to crowd around it to eat. Instead, some decide to leave, and they miss out on what would have been a good bonding experience. Always be thinking about how students will take to your furniture. If it suits their needs, then you’re contributing to a better uni experience.

A student’s furniture requirements are similar to everyone else’s. They’ll need as minimum: - A sofa and armchair - Media unit - Coffee table and sideboard - Bed - Wardrobe - Bedside table - Dining table and chairs - An office desk and chair for studying

There are two main things you need to know about student furniture; it needs to be durable and it needs to be safe. Items bought specifically with the target market in mind will last a lot longer than pieces purchased from the average high street shop. Sourcing your furnishings from student accommodation furniture specialists ensures pieces are strong and low maintenance. Furniture also needs to be safe. This is why LOFT can source and supply furniture that is Crib 5 compliant. Our delivery team will assemble and install all furniture as well to guarantee it has been constructed safely and securely. Before leaving the property, safety checks will be carried out as well.
