We’re good at furniture.
We also know New Orleans.

We offer a range of services to meet the needs of every client. Have something else in mind? We'd be happy to work with you to create a custom quote.
In short, we are a furniture rental company. The longer story is we understand what it is to create an experience. We know how furniture configurations, placement, styles, and design lead people to interact — we call it “people flow.” Whether you are just needing cool pieces to plug into your design or whether you need help figuring out how to make furniture layouts that create the “people flow” you are hoping for, this is what we are best at.

If you need to simply book pieces and loosely know what you need, shoot us an inquiry through the contact form below OR e-mail us directly at booking@rentdistresed.com, and we will get you rolling quickly and cleanly.


If you’re building a little more complex activation, click through the additional services below that we may be able to help with. Then, reach out!

  • Reach out to us, tell us what you need in a specific list of pieces or more generally (ex: 2 wooden 8-foot bars”), and we will create a live, organized, timely proposal for you that lets you see everything you need to make decisions. Our booking team will work directly with you to make quick changes and answer questions.

  • Our team has expensive in “flipping” a space with our pieces. This is when our team transitions a space midday or overnight to give your clients a different experience in the same space. Have our team create a furniture plan with you for each event, and we handle the transitions.

    The plan can incorporates keeping the same pieces for multiple days, adding/removing a portion of the pieces to keep your design fresh, or transitioning to a completely new set of pieces. We know almost every venue in the city, and we have flips down to an art.

  • If you know the vibe you need to create but need to save time (or just design help), our team can provide complete furniture design proposals, whether it’s for complete floorplan layouts for the entire space or specific areas of your floorplan such as Styled Lounge and Bar areas.

    Once you have provided us with your basic info, we turn around your complete proposal with visuals of pairing recommendations, all of the components you’ve let us know you need  (bars, cocktail tables, general seating, lounges, food tables, etc.) + a floorpan for your space (to scale!) to save you time and ensure a powerful end result.

    Bonus: We put this into a format simple enough but pretty enough to share with your team or the client.

  • Send us your brand, mood board, design deck, or logo, and have our team create options as we capture your brand through furniture using the right shapes, colors, and textures to reflect your vibe.

Our Process

Understand What You’re Working On

Venue, date, what are you trying to accomplish, and how can we help?

Collaborate Openly

Not confident about spacing? Have a particularly detailed client? Need suggestions how to make trade-offs to meet a corporate budget? Not sure how to create cohesion across a big space with our pieces? ASK. Say it out loud! Problem solve together with us.

Plan for Smoothness

We have a dedciated Logistics Coordinator who takes over in the weeks leading up to your event to make sure the delivery plan is SEAMLESS. Even the things you don’t want (or don’t know!) to think about like door widths, closed streets, and broken elevators. Our team works between you and the venue to make sure the plan will be implemented with as little stress as possible on delivery day.

Deliver Fully

When we deliver, it’s not just a finished product—it’s something you can trust. We have managers dedicated to every event, in-house carpentry and upholstery teams for unexpected issues, and a delivery team that is fully briefed on your event and overseen until it is complete.

Past Project

The Atlas Project

A bold reimagining of a timeless brand.

  • We have worked with Distressed for an annual event for the past few years and they are amazing. They are wonderful to work with from start to finish! Rentals are always in good condition, their delivery team is always on time and so kind. They have even helped up through last minute pivots with ease. Couldn't recommend them more!

    Former Customer

  • The Distressed team is such a pleasure to work with! With great attention to detail and thoughtful recommendations, working with them is a dream and we seek them out every time we have an event in NOLA.

    Former Customer

  • I’m an event planner, and I recently worked with Distressed Rentals for the first time yesterday. The level of professionalism exceeded expectations. The entire crew cared about getting things absolutely perfect and that is so very rare! I was blown away with the team effort and kindness every single person from their team displayed. Highly HIGHLY recommend them!!
