Tips on Decorating Your Rental

Tips on Decorating Your Rental

We all love the freedom of personalizing our space. But for some (especially here in the Bay Area), buying a home just isn’t in the cards. This doesn’t mean you should settle for a bland rental space.
Here are some clever rental decorating hacks!

Hardware Swap
Changing out the hardware in your home is easy, and adds a subtle, personalized touch to your space. Just remember to keep the original pieces to swap back before you move out.

Accessorize
Have fun and add pops of color with throws, pillows, and accents that reflect your personality.

Colorful Furniture
Add a pop of color and individuality to a room with unique pieces of furniture that are bright and impactful. Try something like a bright colored chair or clever coffee table.

Use Mirrors
Mirrors are one of the best ways to add style and give the illusion of space and give a room an almost “ethereal” feel.

 Add Curtains
This is one of the most fun design choices you can make. You don’t have to live with dorm-like blinds. Add some flair, color and texture to a room!

Plants
No yard? No problem. Potted plants and flowers are a great way to add some life to a tired space.

Invest in Rugs
Rugs can be one of the easiest ways to accessorize your place and add color to a room. They are also a great way to hide rental floor imperfections.

Hang Art

Patching up a tiny hole is totally worth the impact some wall art can have on livening up your neutral walls. Get creative!

Use Wallpaper
I am NOT suggesting you actually wallpaper your walls. Too many renters believe that wallpaper is an easy solution, when in all actuality, it is a maddening mess to remove. Instead, frame it!
