Rented Home Decor
Renting an apartment does not mean that we are doomed to live like a
monk or a dormitory where you sleep and eat but your heart is not at
rest. While homeowners may object to doing permanent changes you can
always use temporary and inexpensive furnishings to make the rented
apartment decor reflect your personality and style. The trick is to
maintain the balance between what you want, limited budget, buying
either temporary things or things that can be used in all settings,
are long lasting and easily movable and restrictions and terms and
conditions of the landlord. Here are some foolproof tips for house
décor meant specially for tenants:
- Since you are going to live in this place
for more than a year, be ready to spend a little time, effort and
money to beautify it so that you can enjoy this period of your life.
- Since it is often expensive and not allowed
to repaint the walls, you can hang up a colorful rug or use it to
hide the ugly or bland flooring and make your room look warm and
cozy.
- Most of the rented apartments have neutral
colored walls and floors that can be given any style with the help
of accents such as throw pillows, lamps, stylish lighting, rugs,
carpets and creative play of colors and textures.
- Curtains and side panels in a wide range of colors
and patterns for the windows; colorful dish towels, flour canisters,
innovative teapot and neatly arrange plastic airtight
containers for the kitchen; and neatly folded or
hung towels in myriad of colors and designs, creative soap dish, a
small sleek vase with natural or artificial flower arrangement for
bathrooms can add personality and looks to the areas and make you
love your apartment.
- Landlords objecting on nailing things to the
walls will gladly accept the idea of large and tall mirrors leaning
against the walls.
- Smaller photos and artworks can be displayed
on top of fireplace mantels, dressers and low armoires with wall to
lean on.
- Installing new fixtures and knobs can be
reversed while you are leaving the apartment by taking the ones you
bought with you and putting the old ones in their place again.
- Be creative when it comes to storage and
hiding things. Put a skirt around the bathroom sink, use sliding
decorative screens to hide away things, use beautiful trunks and
beds with storage space to keep unused
blankets and sheets and you may also hang a
shower curtain to hide away the drying towels.
- Break the monotony with one rare piece per
room that can be put in the focal point of the room.
- Long lasting good quality furniture can last
forever and may be used in your future home too, so you can buy some
pieces you really want along with the pillows and cushions that you
can use later too. Candle votive holders, tabletop fountains, sleek
or rare vases and artworks and framed paintings can be used anywhere
and can fit in homes of all sizes and styles. So, you may buy some
even if you are renting.
