Want to vamp up your kitchen in your rental? You don't have to tear it down! Here are some tips to make your rental kitchen a feast for the eyes without having to spend a lot and start from scratch.
The changes don't have to be major. Go for temporary yet small changes like using contact paper for cabinets or peel-off backsplashes that can instantly level up your kitchen's interiors. There's so much opportunity in temporarily improving surfaces in the kitchen! You can even use a painting to cover up an ugly wall. If you don't like how your drawer handles look, you can easily pick one that you like, like vintage ones from Etsy for an instant and chic boost. This can also be applicable for light fixtures. Apartment Therapy has great tips on making your rental kitchen prettier and more pleasing to the eyes.
Another thing you could do is to hang your tools in an organized manner -- it could be on your walls or your ceiling. If you don't have the budget to buy accessories, make your kitchen tools the accessories! Displaying them in an orderly manner in your kitchen will make it look better, but it will allow you to work in your kitchen better.
Most renters are stuck with ugly cabinets, but there's a quick solution to that -- remove the doors! Doorless cabinets provide a very chic and modern look for your home. If your landlord isn't too keen on you doing so, simply adjust the paint colors around it. The Kitchn suggests dark blue or black chalkboard paint for honey oak cabinets and light gray and black for cherry cabinets.
There's no stopping you when it comes to getting creative in your rental space, and they don't have to be expensive too. Have you done improvements to make your kitchen rental look better? Feel free to share your ideas in the comments below.
