Helen Lord, founder of BCorp certified, furniture resale platform Rehome, explains how interior designers can use her service as part of a more circular, less wasteful project
Interior designers have a unique opportunity to guide their clients towards more sustainable choices during renovations. By leveraging their expertise and creativity, they can influence decisions on materials, products and design practices that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space but also reduce environmental impact. But did you know you can do even more?
Promoting the sale of pre-loved items is a powerful addition to an interior designer’s repertoire and offers an easy and attractive solution that benefits everyone, including the planet. This is where Rehome, the UK’s leading dedicated marketplace for pre-loved interiors has a lot to offer the design community.
Rehome delivers an easy, ethical and rewarding alternative to rip-and-skip
When partnering with Rehome, a BCorp certified business, designers have an opportunity to offer their clients a one-stop solution for pre-loved items that are suitable to be sold on and rehomed. Whether this is just one item, or a whole home, we will project manage the client on your behalf, removing the need for the ubiquitous skip and returning a large proportion of proceeds of the sale to the client.
What can be sold through Rehome?
Most quality items of fitted and unfitted furniture (kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms etc.) can be evaluated for resale with the simple click of a button using a personalised QR code. Rehome then takes over the management of the sale. To complement this service, if something isn’t quite right for resale, we will also manage dismantle and ethically recycle with all the necessary waste certificates. It’s an uncomplicated, painless service for you and your client that just makes sense.
Most importantly for the designer, the sustainability aspect of this is fully verified. Each item sold is measured for carbon and tree savings, as well as landfill weights. This approach not only delights clients but allows designers to showcase impressive carbon and tree-saving statistics, enhancing their business’s commitment to sustainability.

How will Rehome look after your clients?
Rehome’s award-winning process fully project manages the sale, from professional photography and measurements through to dismantle and delivery to its new home. We are a Which? Trusted Trader for the dismantle of fitted items and every service is company-owned and managed in-house. This ensures a white glove service which is reflected in our impressive Trustpilot reviews.
