You may be renting your
property but it’s still your home. Whether on a long or short lease, you will
still want it to feel like your place, not temporary accommodation. However there are
restrictions on what you can do in terms of structural changes and what is
financially worthwhile. Small things can make a big difference. Unlike homeowners, who can knock down walls and
rip up floors to transform a space, renters can’t even put a nail in the wall
without the owner‘s permission. Even if you are blessed with the most
open-minded landlord, you’re unlikely to want to spend any significant time or
money on a property that’s not your own, or on anything that you can’t take
with you when your leave. The solution? Think inexpensive, reversible and portable
and you’ll be ready to transform even the most drab rental house into a home.
Portable: use portable work spaces and
storage for apartments where space is an issue, these trolleys can be fixed to
one spot or moved to make more space for entertaining
Reversible: why not personalise your
walls with removable adhesives, this gives a sense of your own personality and
style which can easily be removed without taking the paint work with you when
you leave
Inexpensive: styling your home need not be
expensive, why not recycle, reuse or repurpose your old items into something
new and unique, and amaze your friends with your creativity and ingenuity
