How to Give Your Rental Apartment Your Own Style

Rental apartments are living spaces where residents can change every year. Therefore, the apartment owner cannot be blamed for not wanting every new tenant to redesign the home according to their wishes. What are those ways to give a rental apartment your own character without overstepping the owner's boundaries?

1. USE TEXTILES AND TEXTILE ACCESSORIES

Curtains, blankets, and sofa cushions are the best helpers for this. They are easy to change and can be taken with you if needed. They don't cost much, but they add character to the room immediately!

2. USE MIRRORS

Mirrors are a great way to instantly make a small space appear larger. Mirrors also come in different styles and their frames can be very interesting accessories in your home. Nowadays, all kinds of hanging pieces are particularly popular - round porthole mirrors, uniquely shaped decorative mirrors, or mirrors placed in window frames that are fun to place on your living room wall.

3. USE RUGS

Rugs are a good way to separate different areas in your home. Additionally, they are a great way to cover floors that have seen a bit too much and make your home cozier. Use patterned cotton rugs under the dining table, put something to cover the hallway floor, and find something interesting to place in front of the kitchen counter.

4. WORK WITH YOUR LIVING SPACE

Does your home located in a panel building or an old wooden house? Pay attention to its character and try to contribute to matching the surroundings when choosing accessories. Everything old is in fashion again and drinking tea from vintage cups in a small kitchen in a panel building adds a touch of vintage romance to your life.

5. IF YOU CAN'T PAINT THE WALLS, BE CREATIVE

There are many other ways to make walls more lively. You can cover a child's room walls with round dot stickers, you can attach pictures to the wall using washi tape instead, and actually the easiest way to bring life to a room is by using plants. A plant with large leaves in an interesting pot against a white wall actually looks even better than some trendy wallpaper.

6. MAKE USE OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN

Your panel building apartment's balcony may be very small, but use it wisely anyway. Bring a chair there, add a blanket, candles, or small lamps and you instantly have a cool reading corner where you can gain knowledge. Also read our post on how to create a cozy balcony.
