How To Give Your Rental Home A Makeover

Only because you live in a rented apartment, it should not stop you from giving your home a bit of a makeover. The key is to keep the exercise simple and inexpensive, and to ensure there is no harm done to the property. Also, you must consult your landlord before giving your rented home a facelift.

PropGuide shares five easy and inexpensive ways to decorate a rental accommodation:

A splash of colour

The best way to give your rental apartment a quick makeover is painting it. Restyle the house with the shade that complements the interiors and your lifestyle. Neutral shades are the safest for a rental house, as a bright shade might give your landlord a scare. Lighter shades also make a small room look bigger.

Raise the curtains

One of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to update a rental home is to buy modern curtains and blinds. You can be creative with the curtains and style them differently without any permanent changes to the house. 

Choose the right furniture and furnishings

Add a little of colour to your room by bringing small pieces of furniture or furnishing. These may include cushions, light chair and tables or bookshelves. Light on your pocket, such articles can give a vibrant colour to your abode.

On display

Even if rented, your home is your world. And, to feel more connected with it, you could display your family pictures by creating a gallery wall. Decorative mirrors are also a great way to enhance space, and they also trick the eye into thinking a space is bigger than it really is.

Keep it green

By bringing plants indoors, you not only liven up the interiors but also ensure the air around you is purer. That apart, flowers, shrubs and small plants can really light up your mood when you come home after work. Potted plants and classical hanging planters are some of the best ways to incorporate greenery into your home.
