Everyone wants to put their personal stamp on their own, but when you’re renting we can often feel nervous as we don’t want to break our contractual requirements.  But stop the stress!!  We have put together some show shopping ideas to transfer your rental property into the home that screams you.

Home Furnishings

Who doesn’t love shopping for home furnishings? It can’t just be us and there are more and more stores popping up on your high street that will suit your style. Customising your home with accessories allows you to avoid any permanent changes whilst adding your personal style to your space. It’s time to think about rugs, cushions, throws, and curtains, they are all great ways to insert your stamp without picking up a paintbrush.

Free-Standing Units

Storage can often be scarce but you can easily liven up your living space with free-standing units. Local and online stores offer storage options that can be used in any room of your choice, these versatile units can effortlessly fuse with your other pieces depending on where and how they are required in your rented property.  They can also be used to divide up spaces to create ‘zones’ in your home for living and dining for example.

Temporary Décor

Believe it or not, there is a whole range of temporary products for your home, these include, wall stickers, tile sheets, window film, wall hooks and even tile tattoos. The opportunity for you to add your personal style is now even easier, with temporary wallpaper you can transform a room and tile sheets or tattoos can improve your kitchen and bathrooms without you losing your deposit when you decide to move. We suggest that you search for washi tape and no nail hooks, these are must-have tools for every creative renter who refuses to live in a house and not make it their own.

Go Creative

Have you ever been inspired by décor inspiration in magazines or even in someone else’s home? Well, in your rental home you have more opportunities that you think to go creative, from making picture displays to decorating with oversized glass bottles and jars the possibilities are endless. If you haven’t heard of Pinterest already prepare to be inspired! Simply search for ‘creative home décor’ and you will be propelled into a world of exciting projects that will transform your rented home.

Lighten Up

A little bit of light can change everything! Invite natural light in by choosing curtains that complement the property’s layout as well as your style and replace light fittings to improve the overall mood of each room. Although you might not be able to change the position of any fixed lights don’t forget, you can add oversized, coloured, patterned or statement shades which will immediately achieve the desired effect.

Green Fingers

Indoor plants can bring some life (even if they’re fake) into your home. There are many options for low maintenance plants as well as faux potted plants that can brighten up your home by bringing the freshness of the outdoors in. House plants are a great way to clean the air and although they may require a little more care they can enhance your rooms design or soften harsh features. The right plants can be essential home accessories and fill unused space.
