Entering a rental home for the first time evokes the same feelings for most of us. A home that has been used before, and left in a somewhat dilapidated condition. The empty walls of the rental welcome each new tenant. And it’s the same experience for most tenants. When I first saw my rental, it didn’t feel like home. But this is where rental home decor comes in! You can turn your drab rental into a beautiful home with proper home decor.
There are many who get into a rental home without catching up on the rules set by the landlord and the tenant laws in place. For those people, here are the dos and don’ts of renting a home. These rules might also be a problem when you’re decorating the home. There are many landlords who wouldn’t even let you attach a pin on the wall. This is why you have to look at a lot of factors before choosing your rental home. Here’s a checklist for renting property. Today’s blog is for those who are looking to spruce up their rental home decor.
Remove The Things That You Dislike
If you think that the doors of your rental home are not secure or strong enough, you should make your home more secure. To do that, you could change your doors, or add CCTV monitoring if you need to be extreme. And if you do not like the appearance of any of the bathroom fittings or fixtures, you can change them as well. But remember to take permission from your landlord first before doing all these things. You could even do renovations in your house if your landlord grants you permission.
Making Use Of Bare Walls
Most rental homes have bare walls. If you’re a fan of minimalistic simple designs, you could leave them bare. Or if you’re the creative type, you could draw a mural or attach stickers to brighten up the wall. There are many people who love street art. You could also make it into an accent wall.
Utilize Posters And Art
If you’re lucky enough to have a landlord who is lenient, you can attach posters to your wall. Or you could even hang your own artwork on the wall. Printed posters and custom art will add a spark of creativity to your home. Modern art can also add a touch of class and sophistication. Is rental home decor sounding to be a lot easier than you thought?
Decorate Windows
An age-old problem with many rental apartments is when you have windows that are looking out at the windows of another apartment. That is not a great sight to see. However, this problem can turn into a beautiful opportunity for you to spice up your rental home decor. You could cover up the window with a curtain with intricate patterns and design. Proper curtains can make a home look more elegant. You could also add a bit of color to the windows by using glass stain stickers on them. It will make the windows pop, and also give you something nice to look at. The best thing about curtains or stickers is that they can be removed if you’re moving, which makes it perfect for a rental home.
Add A Touch Of Greenery
Add a splash of nature to your rental home decor by creating a little green corner on any side of your home. But remember, ‘less is more’. Do not just clutter your rental home with many plants. Placing a few plants here and there should be enough. Using colorful pots can also help with the decor. And for maximum relaxation, put some flowers in your home. Flower pots hanging from the ceiling will add color to your rental home.
