8 ways to affordably style your rental space




 Today, most people live on rent. It is an easy way to live before being able to afford a house. Usually, you will find the young college crowd, fresh working graduates or young families living on rent. Far away from home and living in a borrowed space is one of the most exhilarating experiences to have in the initial phase. However, it is not all sunshine and daisies. At some point of time, the loneliness of being away creeps in and you become homesick again.

When you are away from home, you want to come back to a place that speaks to you, that reflects you, a place that feels like home. Of course, it is hard to find that rental space with that sort of feeling. The next best step is to style it in your way. There are many ways in which you can style your rentalapartment with a minimum budget and also not lose the deposit on your rental space.

1.       Renter- Friendly Wallpaper

The one thing that can make you really homesick is coming back to see the plain white walls. For some, it can be unbearable and for others, it is just boring. A simple and affordable way to style your house is by simply hiding the walls under temporary wallpaper. There are many designs to choose from and can be really affordable and will not risk your security deposit.

2.       Décor Disguise
One of the problems of living in a rental space is oddly placed lighting. Now, you can’t change the electrical; simply hide the sockets with posters or frames. It can be a good way to style the apartment and affordable too.

3.       Glam it Up
Washi Tape is great but is not the only one out there. There are many different kind of tapes you can use like shiny or one with patterns and simply use them to decorate a plain white fridge or a shelve or cupboard or even a wall. Affordable and you can simply remove them when you move out.

4.       Stainless Steel Contact Paper
Living in a rental space means adjusting to anything that comes with the space. This mostly means compromising by living with outdated appliances. They can make your home look dull and outdated even if they work just fine. An ideal solution for that is to cover them with stainless steel contact paper. It will make them and your home look more stylish and your landlord just might ask you to leave it up.

5.       Living Décor
This is the easiest. If you want to give you rental space a homier feel, simply add few plants around. They can add a little life and texture to your rented home. And, if you are the kind of person who cannot take care of a plant, alternatively use the fake ones.

6.       Stylish rental furniture

One good thing of businesses going online, is that you can literally get anything at the tip of your fingers and that too after making the right choice. Now you can rent stylish furniture at a click and that too at a fraction of the cost price. If your stay in the new home is not too long and you do not want to waste unnecessary time and effort into buying and then disposing off furniture, renting it is a great time, effort and money-saver. Furlenco is one such company that will affordably style your space. It makes more financial sense when an unfurnished apartment costs less than a furnished one. You can then style it up the way you want it.

7.       DIY wall decals
This one is a fun activity too! Get together with your roommates, choose some amazing DIY wall decals that come with the stencils and have a go at it! Style up an empty boring wall of if you somehow manage it, then a boring white ceiling, maybe that drab fan needs a makeover? It is tried and tested. It won’t disappoint you.

8.       Stylish lighting
Go get some tiny fairy lights and fix them up around the house or some stars and moon lights to add that subtle glow to your room. Kitchen too functional? Liven it up with some playful lights or maybe the toilet where you need some peace and me time? Strategic lighting is cheap and  changes the ambiance. 

Just because you doesn’t own a place doesn’t mean you can’t make it your own. Use these tips to stylishly upgrade your standard rented space. You are living away from home, the least you can do is give your place a homier feel.

So, stop wondering and start decorating!
