Hello World! Welcome Friends! Living in a rental home doesn’t have to be boring. You don’t have to keep wishing you could decorate your home the way you like because you can! Your décor options could be limited, but you can get creative and try some DIY décor ideas.
Whether renting for short/long-term and want some temporary or long-lasting décor ideas, there are many genius ways to decorate your home. Here are five brilliant DIY decoration ideas you can use to personalize your home, making you feel at ease and comfortable.
1. Personalize Your Walls
The default paint color in your house often looks plain, cold, and boring. Covering the walls with a tapestry or removable wallpaper of your taste will make your interior space lively. Installing a tapestry is a simple DIY task. You only need to attach its end to the walls using pushpins, eliminating the need for hammering. Some wallpaper designs are also suitable for temporary homes; such types do not leave marks or damage when removed. Your walls might also need some frames or pieces of art. Command strips and hooks will be a great idea to hang your décor items on the wall without having to drill holes.
2. Try Different Textiles
Textiles play a significant role in unifying the room ambiance and bringing the space together. You can easily achieve this by ensuring that the color of your textile goes along with your interior theme color. The goal here is to have a variety of textures with a unifying theme. For instance, using rugs and carpets with complementing textures adds style and warmth to your room.
Curtains and drapers also offer as much as other décor items in enhancing the room’s appearance. To maximize your curtains, ensure that their presence does not overwhelm the space. Pinch pleat, wave, goblet, and eyelet are among the many curtain designs you can choose from.
3. Go Green
Plants are a low-cost décor option that brings life and color to your house. Having indoor plants will also improve your overall health and productivity. The best area to add a plant is the weak areas of the room. Use small plants such as cactus or air plants if space is limited. But if your interior design and space allow, go for the larger plants. Most homeowners prefer real plants for the many benefits they offer. However, some choose a mix of real plants and artificial trees to effectively style various spaces within their homes. Hanging plants are also a great choice if your space is limited. Depending on your taste and preference, you can hang these plants on your patio or living room.
4. Rethink Your Lighting
Lighting can define the mood in your space, and as a matter of fact, most rental houses do not have enough natural light. Use light-colored lampshades, pedants, and wireless lighting systems to keep your apartment as bright as possible. You can also use mirrors to maximize the little natural light you get, especially in dark corners. Another great tip is to ensure all your light sources are well spaced out to ensure all areas are brightened up.
5. Try DIY Floating Shelves
Most rental homes have strict restrictions regarding adding or removing storage areas/components. Buying furniture with built-in storage spaces is a great way to add storage to your home. However, this isn’t an option if the space is limited. Here, you can use the removable floating shelves, which are stylish and rental-friendly. Since the shelves are just attached to the walls using hooks, you don’t want to store or place heavy objects on them.
Conclusion
Personalizing your rental home makes your space lively, fun, and comfortable. Trying a DIY decoration project on your rented space can be daunting, but provided you don’t make permanent modifications or cause damage, you are good to go!
