Living in a rental doesn't mean that you can't exercise your creativity! Decorating a rental home can be fun, and they don't have to break the bank. Follow these tips for a stylish and functional space that needs very little commitment.
Create the illusion of a bigger space with little changes like higher curtains and getting as much light as you can. Avoid dark colors, as they tend to cramp up your space, and just like your clothes, they "slim" up your space. Also, don't be afraid to go vertical when it comes to your storage! A nice DIY jewelry rack would add a rustic touch to your space. Here are more DIY projects for simple wall storage.
Dealing with bulky built-in counters? There's a quick fix for that! Add vinyl decals to add a bit of a design as well as a "quirk factor" to your kitchen. Decals are also very easy to apply and remove, so you don't have to worry about it damaging your counter. You can even apply it to your cabinets and doors! Vinyl decals are widely available. Check out listings on Amazon.
If you're itching to add some colors to your walls, a simple solution would be decorating them with washi tape. Use them as faux picture frames or create simple patterns on your wall. They're versatile and easy to use, and you can even apply them on unconventional areas in your home like the sides of your door or your refrigerator. Depending on the color and pattern of washi tape you're going to use, you can go for any look, from a cutesy one to a bright one. Buzzfeed shares adorable ways to use washi tape.
