Renter-Friendly Wallpaper
For some individuals, the thought of being surrounded by four off-white walls is just intolerable. And for others, it's just plain dull. As removable background becomes more popular, the designs become more stylish and more affordable. It might just be time to pick out your perfect pattern!
Decor Disguise
You are certainly not likely to modify the electrical work on your rental, which means you could be forced to live with some oddly-placed lights, light switches or power sockets. Carmel from Our Fifth House solved this problem by camouflaging a light switch within a tasteful pub wall.
Glitz and Glam
Washi tape is great, but it certainly isn't the sole tape out there which may make a big effect in your property. It only took Dina out of Honey & Fitz two rolls of gold duct tape to flip into a basic white refrigerator into a glitzy showstopper.
Love Your Lighting
Among the worst things about leasing units has got to be the outdated light fixtures. Luckily, this is also among the easiest switches. Simply swap out this light fixture for a lot more your style. Just make sure you reattach the initial fixture prior to going out.
Camo and Custom Shelving
Radiators are not attractive; it is as straightforward as that. But covering a radiator isn't always so straightforward. Fortunately, Marian from Miss Mustard Seed shares her beautiful solution. Her custom made radiator cover not just disguises the device, but it also adds additional storage in an often tight space.
Not Your Daughter's Washi Tape
Can you believe washi tape was only for the kiddos? Think again. With so many attractive styles to choose from, you're bound to locate a roster which suits your taste. These washi tape frames include a colorful touch to any space. Opt for geometric shapes to give your home more personality.
Washi Accent Wall
A washi tape wall can be as colorful or as dim as you would like. Emily out of Everything Emily made this magnificent accent wall with two rolls of black washi tape. The best part? She finished the job for less than $10.
Sneaky Stainless Makeover
Older appliances might do the job just fine, but it does not mean you should have to live with a dated design in your cooking space. Julie Blanner found an perfect solution in the form of stainless steel touch paper. For about $5, that this change has the ability. In fact, the landlord may even ask you to leave it up.
Living Decor
If you are hoping to put in a homey feel to your leased space, simply adding a few plants around the house might do the trick. This fiddle leaf fig tree adds life and texture into the living room. And for an additional bonus, crops help purify indoor air. (No more mystery smell from renters past.)
Gallery Wall Paper
If you can not background your rental, then why don't you try framing your favourite wallpaper instead? Marianne Canada out of HGTV Crafternoon recommends getting a sample of your favorite print and showing it in a gorgeous framework. Now you may have your background and your rental deposit, also!
Minimal Shelving
Do you secretly long to get a wall of habit built-ins, knowing that your landlord will recoil at the thought? These industrial shelves from Fixer Upper offer lots of shelf space and could be attached with only a few screws.
Shower in Luxury
1 change which creates a huge difference, but is often overlooked, is the showerhead. This is one of the upgrades that's worth spending some extra dough. After all, when you're ready to proceed, simply reattach the old fixture and take yours for your abode. Make showerheads something of the past!
Boring Blinds Be Gone
Blinds that are bland have the power to make any room feel just like a cheap motel. Even if you have to leave them up, patterned curtains layered on top may take your window treatments to a whole new level.
Separate in Style
If you can't paint the walls, then changing the fundamental structure of this space is obviously from the question. That is where room dividers come in handy. Create a home office or give the kids their own play area in a single bedroom.
An Easy Switch
A terrific way to add some personality to your rented space is to just switch out those simple door knobs with some that suit your taste. Just be sure you switch back to the originals before you move out.
Rugs on Rugs on Cabinets
Let us talk flooring. Scratched hardwood and stained carpeting are just the beginning. Before moving in, it never hurts to get the flooring professionally cleaned. But if they still look like a mess, rugs are going to be your new best friend. Set them over hardwood and even over carpet for a clean, updated look that's all you.
Electric Style
If you like the duct tape idea, you are going to adore this stylish door by Stacie out of Stars for Street Lights. Some quick measuring, a steady hand and a little bit of electrical tape totally transformed these contractor-grade doors. The result is nothing short of fabulous!
Fabric Feature Wall
As you've probably heard of detachable wallpaper, removable cloth background is another fantastic option for renters. It peels right off, and has the potential to add a lot of color, pattern and even feel to your home. Discover how to install it here.
Practical Pantry Additions
Another excellent idea for additional space is an over-the-door pantry unit. You are able to make the most of the distance on the back of the cabinet door with just a couple screws. Warning: Many landlords are more than fine with storage enhancements similar to this one, but you might be requested to leave it behind when you move.
Magic Mirror
Want to have more space instantly? Insert a large mirror to some space, and the visual impact is likely to make your space feel bigger and brighter, all without knocking one wall.
