Renter-Friendly Home Décor Guide
If your lease doesn’t allow permanent changes like painting walls or using nails to hang decorations, making your rental feel cozy and personal can seem tricky. Fortunately, your Copper Storage Management team has gathered some renter-friendly décor options for you! With these simple renter-friendly décor hacks, you can make your space feel like home without risking your safety deposit.
Even if you own your home, these are helpful tips for maintaining the value of your living space if you plan to sell or rent it out in the future, especially after a home addition or renovation.
1. Find Out What Your Home Décor Style Is
Look for inspiration on sites like Pinterest, Instagram, or home décor blogs, and ask yourself, “What is my home décor style?” Finding out what you like will make choosing renter-friendly décor that fits your taste easier. Do you like boho, modern, or farmhouse looks? Save pictures of rooms you love and notice what they have in common.
2. Renter-Friendly Wall Décor
You don’t need to paint or drill into your walls to personalize your space. There are lots of ways to decorate without breaking any rules thanks to these renter-friendly home décor ideas:
- Peel-and-stick wallpaper. With so many patterns to choose from, this wallpaper quickly makes your walls look new and exciting.
- Command hooks and strips. They’re strong, reusable, and will not damage your walls.
- Gallery walls with washi tape. For a creative spin, use colorful washi tape to “frame” prints or photos. It’s playful, affordable, and damage-free.
3. Furniture Arrangements To Maximize Space
Arranging your furniture can make your rental feel more open and comfortable. Use multifunctional pieces, like a storage ottoman that holds additional items or a daybed that works as a couch and a guest bed. We also recommend placing large items, like sofas or shelves, against the walls to free up floor space and make the room feel bigger.
4. Setting the Mood With Lighting
Lighting can transform your rental. To make your space more inviting, swap out harsh overhead lights for soft, ambient options like floor lamps, table lamps, or string lights. Plug-in sconce lights are a stylish way to add light without making any permanent changes, and they’re easy to move around.
5. Removable Rugs and Textiles
Rugs and removable textiles add warmth, color, and personality to your rental. Area rugs can hide unattractive floors and you can even layer rugs with different patterns for a unique, stylish look that’s easy to change. Throw blankets and décorative pillows are another way to add splashes of color and texture to your furniture.
6. Seasonal Décor Accents
If you like a lot of variety in your living space, seasonal décor accents like plants, decorative trays, and baskets are perfect for you. Whether you choose live potted succulents or dried flower bouquets, plants add greenery and make a room feel fresh and lively.
Decorative trays are great for organizing small items while looking nice on tables or countertops. You can fill baskets with seashells for spring and summer, little gourds for fall, or round ornaments for winter.
