Turning Your Rented Property Into a Home

Everyone loves (and deserves) to have a cozy crib of their own that is personalized to their own unique touch. However, with rentals people usually lack the sense of ownership as they are living in someone else’s property. 

As far as adding a personalized touch, there is very little room to redecorate a rented real estate property. There are several rules for real estate in the UK that you have to be careful with before making any changes to the property. We have gathered a few easy and practical tips through which you can turn your rental property into a home. 

Don’t make any permanent changes

Most landlords don’t approve of major changes being made to their property hence it is important that you don’t make any permanent changes to the property that can cause any trouble. 

Alternatively, you can decorate with items that can be easily removed. A few ideas are:

  • Temporary wallpapers

  • Removable adhesive hooks to hang photos and wall art 

  • Decorate with upholstery, table pieces, and rugs. 

Pick a color palette 

If you want to decorate your space, it’s always a good idea to have a color palette sorted. This will help you choose the stuff that you want to buy and avoid mismatching items as well. 

A few tips are:

  • Use a color wheel to select the colors that you want to go for - easily available online 

  • Create your own color scheme - Monochromatic, analogous, contrast, or complementary. 

  • Remember your lighting options which makes a huge difference to the ambiance 

Add Plants 

Adding plants helps in uplifting the ambiance of your house. Not only is it good for the decor but also has beneficial effects. There are multiple options of indoor plants which require less amount of sun and water to grow. 

You can keep those low-maintenance plants at your home to give a more homely feel.

  • Adding plants to your home can decrease stress levels

  • Working on plants has therapeutic effects 

  • It helps you get clean and purified air to breathe in 

You can play around with plants by using vines, adding tall trees, or even using terracotta around the TV stand.
