Getting settled in a rented apartment without major renovations is a doable task if you know the right techniques.
BelNovosti online publication expert and designer Yulia Tychino shared tips on how to create a cozy space with minimal costs. The most important thing is that you won’t have to ask the owner of the home for permission to make alterations.
Lighting
Lamps, floor lamps and table lamps can change the atmosphere dramatically. Use them to make your apartment warm and cozy.
Garlands or LED strips can also be used as additional light sources. All of them do not require replacement of wiring, they are easy to move - an ideal option for rented apartments.
Temporary wallpaper
If you are not allowed to repaint the walls or change their appearance in any other way, consider removable wallpaper and stickers.
They are easy to apply and remove without leaving any marks - the tenant won't even notice the changes after you move out.
Modular furniture
To furnish your rental property, choose mobile or modular furniture that can be easily adapted to your needs.
Textile
Textiles are an important element of coziness. Carpets, pillows and curtains will make even temporary housing more comfortable and lived-in.
Besides, when you move out, you can easily take them with you.
Storage organization
For storage in a rented apartment, use containers, boxes and baskets that can be left under the bed, in the closet or on the shelves.
Decor and plants
Pay attention to the decor: paintings, photographs, vases and indoor plants will certainly enliven the interior.
