Why should homeowners have all the fun?

The rental market has seen a boom in the past decade, with people preferring to rent rather than own. Most rental spaces come with neutral walls, builder-grade fittings, and a pile of landlord restrictions that are not usually for creative living. This forces the renter to settle in a space that does not inspire creativity or feel warm and inviting. But now, renting does not have to mean surrendering to boring spaces. The forever challenge of embracing that feeling of home in a rental space has now been eased thanks to the renter-friendly solutions. There are so many ways in which a rental space can be transformed to add character and reflect the inhabitants personality seamlessly. Here are some easy solutions to beige spaces. Peel and stick This has been the most loved revolution in the interior space for its economical and hassle-free nature. From tiles to wallpapers, they provide the upgrade everyone was looking for. Although they are not as durable as tiles or well-installed wallpapers, they make the space look prettier rather than just a bare shell. Tiles for backsplashes and wash areas can bring in colour or texture, wallpaper for accent walls, and vinyl peel-and-stick solutions for workout furniture can transform the space in hours. Command hooks for the win Who does not like decorating their walls? Gallery walls have seen a rise post the pandemic, as it brought a reality check to everyone as to what in life is really important. Whether it is family pictures, souvenirs from travel, or heirloom art, they tell like nothing else. Rental spaces are not flexible with drilling nails on the walls for these frames, and hence, command hooks are opted for. A good grade hook or adhesive strips for frames do not damage walls, making it landlord-approved. Hardware update The difference between a predictable cabinet over something that would make it a conversation starter is the hardware. Hardware is the most underused upgrade, whether it is changing the knobs on the TV unit or the handle to your main door, or even the faucets in the washrooms; it can revamp a space more than anyone can envision. Layered textiles Fabrics play a vital role in making the space cohesive with the feeling you want to curate in a space. Curtains that let in light making spaces light and airy, whereas blackout curtains create a more private, moody experience. The soft touch of throw blankets and cushions, the feel of a rug beneath your feet, all tie the space together. Lights There is no such thing as too many lights. Though a rental space comes with builder-grade fittings, the provisions can be used better by swapping the fittings to aesthetic ones. Adding layered lights in the form of floor lamps and table lamps, based on the availability of a socket, makes the space warm and welcoming while also adding curated corners for experience. Bring your dream space to life by adapting to alternative renter friendly ways without compromising on aesthetics. These solutions are also economical and dont feel like an additional burden along with the rent. Make your not-so-creativity -inspiring spaces creative with these alternatives. Happy renting!
