Decorating a rental property to your taste can be tricky. You might have to improvise and be creative when adding some personal touches to your rental.
We’ve looked into some easy ways to leave an impression without leaving a mark.
Communication is key
You have to be familiar with the conditions in your tenancy agreements when it comes to decorating. If you’re not sure, ask. You might be surprised how much free rein the landlord is willing to give.
Hang pictures without nails
Nothing exhibits personal taste like wall art.
To be safe we suggest ditching the nails when hanging your art. With some proper planning and prep-work you will get just as far using self-adhesive tape to hang your art.
Remember to mark out where you want to stick your frame first and make sure you have everything level.
Lighting
Play with different colours and shapes.
Invest in lighting and shades that truly capture your taste. Good lighting can instantly brighten even the drabbest of spaces.
Fairy lights are also a fantastic way to create some ambience in your rental. This makes a property instantly cosier and homier.
Rent unfurnished
Furnished spaces are very convenient. If you do have the means to invest in your own furniture, an unfurnished rental will be the easiest way to turn your rental house into a rental home.
Rugs
Thank goodness for rugs! They can spruce up the drabbest looking rooms in no time. Invest in rugs that uphold your personal taste. Rugs are a fantastic non-permanent feature that you can take with you to your next home when the time comes.
Scatter pillows and quality linen
Paint is only one way of bringing colour to your rooms.
Think of the difference a few scatter pillows could make to your lounge. Your bedding is another way to influence the colour effects in your space. It’s usually the small changes that tie a room together.
