AD | Easy ways to make your Rental feel more like home

It’s only natural that we want to ensure that the homes we live in reflect our style. And while this is relatively easy to achieve if we live in a property we actually own, things are usually quite different when renting.

The majority of landlords won’t really allow you to paint the walls or make any other significant changes.

Luckily, there are still easy ways you can bring more personality into your rental property.

With the help of just a few bits and trinkets, like throw pillows, area rugs and a cute poster with frame you can easily make your rental feel more like home.

Use accessories to establish a colour scheme in your home

To start off, if you wish to make your rental look and feel more vibrant, you can easily use various accessories to introduce some colour into the design.

Look for sofa and armchair covers in your favourite hue and use them as the base of your colour scheme. Match the curtains and add a few area rugs (depending on the size of the property) that go well with the base colour.

After that, you can easily add even more colour with throw pillows and blankets and allow your favourite hues to tie the space together.

Decorate your walls

Additionally, you will also need to take care of your walls.

Check with your landlord if it’s okay to hang some wall art. To avoid unnecessary drilling and damaging the walls, you can always use command strips.

Moreover, you can also add some tall floor shelves to your space and fill them with various bits and bobs you hold near and dear.

Once you have your walls nicely decorated, you can move onto the final step.

Cosy up your home space

In the end, once your overall design is finished, you can make an extra effort and cosy up the space a bit more.

To start off, add a few different lighting fixtures that will create a cosy vibe and reduce the need to use overhead lighting all the time.

Additionally, make sure you bring in some potted plants to soften up the atmosphere and make your interior feel even more welcoming.

If you don’t really wish to go with real plants, you can always find some faux alternatives that look like the real thing but don’t require any maintenance.


As you can see, all of these tips will enable you to cosy up your rental and make it feel more personal and homey.

And the best part is that all of these upgrades are quite affordable and easy to put up and take down as needed.
