One-Story Homes vs. Two-Story Homes
Adding decorations to your rental is a great way to make it feel like home. However, you must be careful about the extent of your home decorating, since some items can leave damage. If you want to add some style and still get that security deposit back, consider using the following to add personality to your home.
Houseplants
Indoor plants can not only brighten up a room but also provide extra crisp oxygen and boost your health and well-being. Introducing plants to your rental home adds natural colors and texture, and can easily be moved around for a change of scenery. If you don’t have a green thumb, you can still partake in this decor trend by using fake plants. Real or artificial plants can be incorporated into corners of the home that need sprucing up, or on end tables and counters for a pop of color.
Rugs
If you find the flooring in your rental to be less than optimal, try incorporating a tasteful rug as a statement piece. Find a carpet that fits your personality by considering a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. Don’t forget to measure your space and use these measurements to find a rug that fits just right. A common mistake in buying rugs is buying rugs that are too small; if you are between sizes, opt for the larger one to fill the area.
Light Fixtures
If your rental home does not have a favorable lighting situation, adding stylish lamps can bring light and personality. Whether you are looking for a floor lamp or one to place on your bedside table, choose one that acts as a feature piece of a room. Whatever style you choose, be sure to use LED bulbs, which are more sustainable and last longer.
Multipurpose Furniture
Having furniture that can be used in multiple different scenarios is a great way to save money and space when decorating. For example, use an ottoman that doubles as blanket storage, or a compact desk that folds out into a table for dining.
Storage
Choosing stylish storage options allows you to organize your home and make it look great too! Woven baskets are a simple way to add color and texture to your home while serving as a storehouse for blankets, pillows, magazines, and more.
Artwork
Hanging up personal photos, artwork, and wall decor can dramatically change the environment and make your rental home feel like your own. To display these items without holes in the wall, you can use damage-free picture hanging strips, like Command hooks. Be sure to read the maximum weight that each strip can hold to prevent more oversized items from falling.
Outdoor Spaces
You can make the most of your outdoor spaces by adding decorating elements like rugs, small pieces of furniture, and plants. Rugs can make the area feel cozy, while seating will allow you to relax by yourself or entertain guests. Adding a small planter box filled with flowers, or some potted plants can turn your front or back porch into a mini-oasis.
