Living in a rented space means it is not practical to invest a big amount of money on renovations. However, it also does not mean that you should limit yourself to what is already there. You can still have the style and creativity you want in your home without spending too much.
Realty Times shared a few ideas on how to introduce energy, color, and good mood in a temporary living space. The key is to think practically, it said.
To do this, you should stick to one style and use a similar color palette in all rooms. Doing this will make it easy for you to move furniture from one place to another as it will fit any room within your rented living space.
Instead of changing wallpapers, the article said that paintings will also introduce new color without the need for wallpapers or having the walls painted. If you find a painting an expensive investment, you can try a roll of wallpaper in the middle of the wall as replacement. This may make you spend a little money, but it will also make your temporary shelter look more awesome.
An article published on Sunset features a rented space, which used a blown-up photo to cover the flaws on the wall. The blown-up photo was framed to cover a dated built-in mirror.
"Landscapes work great because they can feel like paintings," Kyle Schuneman who was renting the place said, as quoted in the article. "Even in a rental, it's about making a space that works for you," he added.
Furthermore, Realty Times said decorative cushions can also do the trick in putting a brighter mood in a space. Cushions, it pointed out, are not expensive and are easy to replace. They can also be reorganized and be moved from room to room.
If you want to redefine a room, carpets can do the trick. Carpets are also not expensive and are very easily moved from room to room, or from your rented space to your dream home.
To give your rented space a personalized feel, you can also hang posters, drawings, photos, post cards and other things on your wall. Try making a gallery on the wall by using light clips and duct tapes if your landlord does not allow you nailing through the wall.
