Luxe sustainable living might sound like a contradiction, but it’s not. In fact, it’s a powerful lifestyle choice that blends elevated design with eco-conscious decisions. And there’s no easier way to embrace living sustainably and luxuriously than by renting your furniture.
Whether you’re moving for the short-term, navigating a renovation, or simply seeking a more intentional lifestyle, CORT Furniture Rental makes it simple to surround yourself with style and sustainability.
What Is Luxe Sustainable Living, Really?
Sustainable luxury, or luxe sustainable living, is the sweet spot where style, impact, and convenience converge. It’s about choosing high-quality, beautiful furnishings designed to last for decades without contributing to fast furniture waste or high-impact manufacturing cycles. It’s about not sacrificing on quality goods and comfort, while also ensuring you’re doing your part to protect the Earth. It’s about living well—and living responsibly.
But there’s another layer. Many luxury seekers are also frequent movers—professionals on assignment, digital nomads, or families navigating temporary living situations. And in those cases, luxury often feels out of reach. After all:
- Hotel suites don’t feel like home
- Move-in-ready apartments are rarely close to work or school
- Airbnb furniture is hit or miss at best
- Purchasing and moving sustainable furniture can be a logistics nightmare
That’s why with CORT, you don’t have to compromise. You choose the home that fits your lifestyle, and we bring the furniture that fits your vision. You get to live where you want, with furniture that reflects your style and values.
For those balancing life’s demands with the desire to embark on premium eco-friendly lifestyles, CORT makes it possible to create a life that’s flexible, beautiful, and low-impact.
Sustainable Luxury & The Power of Renting Over Buying
There’s luxury, and then there’s sustainable luxury. When most people think of luxury, they think of more-, better-, and often. And that extends to home furnishings and decor, too. But having and owning are two different things.
Here’s the truth: buying furniture isn’t always the most responsible—or even the most luxurious—choice. Most mass-market furniture is built to be temporary, often ending up in landfills within a few years. And, unfortunately, furniture manufacturing can have a significant environmental impact, from deforestation and carbon emissions to energy use and landfill waste.
Renting high-quality furniture from CORT flips this model on its head.
CORT’s Approach to Luxe Sustainability
CORT’s circular business model—Rent, Return, Repeat, Refurbish, and Repurpose—extends the lifecycle of every piece of furniture. From the moment an item is rented to when it’s eventually sold at a CORT Furniture Outlet, the focus remains on minimizing furniture waste and maximizing furniture quality.
Here’s how CORT minimizes waste and maximizes style:
- Furniture is rented 2–6 times, averaging 3–4 years in circulation
- Each item is CORT Clean Certified™, cleaned and sanitized with professional-grade tools and eco-friendly solutions after every use.
- When furniture no longer meets rental standards, it’s refurbished or repurposed—often finding a second life through CORT Furniture Outlet instead of ending up in a landfill
- Over 95% of CORT’s inventory avoids landfills, year after year
This circular sustainability approach reduces waste—it also supports a slow-consumption lifestyle, where pieces are designed for durability, adaptability, and timeless style.
How CORT Powers Sustainable Luxury, and Reduces Your Environmental Impact
You don’t have to choose between living well and doing good. By opting to rent with CORT instead of buying new pieces in the short term, you’re:
- Reducing your carbon footprint by reusing instead of buying new
- Supporting energy efficiency and optimized delivery logistics.
- Avoiding the waste associated with short-term furniture ownership or fast furniture disposal
- Reducing the heavy lifting on your end–literally
Sustainable luxury powered by CORT isn’t just better for the planet—it’s better for your peace of mind.
