Useful Tips to Make Your Rental Property Feel Like A Home

I know I’m also guilty of this, but many people feel that just because they are renting they cannot properly decorate or make the property feel like “home”.

There are many things you can to spruce up the place and add your own mark on a property without significant renovation or cost.

Check With Your Landlord

Before committing to anything semi-permanent like repainting the walls or putting up shelves, check with your landlord first. Get permission in writing at the beginning of your tenancy of what you can and cannot do, this will avoid any discrepancies further down the line.

Plants

House plants and a nicely tended garden is the perfect way to add a few home touches to your rental property. Plants can breathe fresh air into a room both metaphorically and literally. Plants help to purify the air and many are also great at removing allergens such as formaldehyde, benzene and xylene from the air.

Easy Maintenance Houseplants:

●Aloe Vera

●Dracacena Marginata (Madagascar Dragon Tree)

●Snake Plant

●Peace Lily

●Prayer Plant

●Spider Plant

There are many houseplants that survive well in low light that don’t require excessive watering or maintenance, perfect for people with a busy schedule.

Flooring

A nice rug can make a huge difference to any room no matter the flooring type. Rugs can enhance the appearance of wood flooring or improve the cosy factor of a room tenfold. Also a worthwhile investment, as once you have a rug, you can take with you when you move.

Frame Artwork

Something as simple as a frame can go a long way in making a room feel more sophisticated. Nothing says temporary like artwork that’s been tacked or taped to the walls, so it’s worth spending a little money on the right size frame for artwork you absolutely love.

Lighting

Your property may look well and good during the day, but at night the main light can feel a bit stark and bare. A warm lamp or some fairy lights can transform your space from an interrogation room to a cosy grotto without the need to spend lots of money.
