Moving from house to house is normal, especially at a time when rents continue to rise. Many people end up living there for a short time out of necessity. And the truth is that the stress of moving all the time is reason enough to prioritize some tasks and leave others on the back burner, “for later”. With this in mind, and because moving is always difficult, here are five tips for decorating a rented house without spending a lot of money.
Between saving money and making use of what you already have, with a good dose of creativity you can turn your home into a place that belongs to you.
Walls or painting furniture in rented houses
Many landlords allow tenants to paint the walls, with rules. Just ask if it's possible and it could be a good way to get started. And while it's true that painting an entire apartment or house seems daunting, painting just one space can work wonders.
If the landlord allows it, you can also add a touch of color by painting the furniture - especially if it's old, of course.
Photographs and paintings in a rented house
This is another simple thing you can do to make the house feel like it belongs to you. Whether it's photographs or paintings, a “gallery” of personal memories improves a space significantly.
Candles
Candles are a portable and easy way to evoke memories. Choose your favorite scents and scatter them throughout the house.
Plants and flowers
We already know about the many benefits of living in a house full of plants and flowers, particularly the positive effects on health and well-being. Caring for plants is therapeutic, as well as adding life to spaces.
Coordinated textiles
Combining the towels and rug in the bathroom; as well as the towels and kitchen towels; and the sheets and pillows in the bedroom, is a good start. You'll feel that the house is more organized and tidy. If you want a bolder touch, for example, invest in some decorative accessories that make a difference.
