Do-It-Yourself Decorating Tips for Renters: How to Make a Rental Feel Like Home

Emmett Tenant Hanging CurtainsWhether you have recently rented your first Emmett single-family home or have been renting for years, it’s critical to make your rental home feel like your own. While you may be unable to paint the walls or make other permanent changes, there are loads of choices to give your rental some personal style. This blog post will talk about some easy do-it-yourself decorating tips for renters that will help you make your space feel like home.

Removable wallpaper. If you’re searching for a method to add some pattern and interest to your rental home, removable wallpaper is an incredible option. You can obtain removable wallpaper in different styles and colors, so it’s easy to pick something that fits your taste. And the best part? When it’s time to move out, peel off the wallpaper and take it with you.

Stylish furniture. One more method for adding style to your rental is with furniture. If you’re starting from scratch, try to find stylish and functional pieces. For instance, a coffee table with storage can be used to store magazines, books, and other items out of sight. And a dining table that doubles as a desk is perfect for small spaces.

Functional accents. Together with furniture, there are a few alternate ways to add function and style to your rental home. Wall hooks, for instance, can be utilized to hang coats, towels, or keys. And shelves can be used to store books, dishes, or anything else you want to keep coordinated.

Window treatments. Curtains and blinds provide protection and light control and can also be used to add color and pattern to your space. Try swapping out your window treatments if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to change your rental look.

Peel and stick vinyl floors. Start covering your rental’s dated floors with peel and stick vinyl if you’re tired of looking at them. This kind of flooring is not difficult to install and comes in different styles, so you’ll find something you like. Moreover, it’s not difficult to remove when it’s time to move out.

Temporary backsplash. Give your rental kitchen an update with a temporary backsplash. It comes in many different styles, such as peel and stick tiles and removable wallpaper. Pick something that fits your style, all while resting easy that it won’t damage your rental’s kitchen walls.

Better Lighting. Perhaps the most straightforward method to make any space feel more inviting is better lighting. If your rental has harsh fluorescent lighting, try swapping out the light bulbs for softer, more flattering bulbs. You can also add lamps or string lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

These are just a couple of ideas you can make your rental home look and feel more like your own. With a bit of effort and imagination, you can change your rental into a stylish and welcoming environment that feels just like home.
