Decorating a Rented Home the Smart Way

Here are a few suggestions to be able to transform your humble rented home into an astounding interior designed masterpiece that will reflect your personality.

When it comes to financial issues, there will be some people, who cannot afford to buy a home,  while other simply do not want to have the headaches of owning a home. There are also others that have life circumstances that make having an apartment a lot more feasible. Whatever the reason may be, if you really are renting and you cannot tolerate anymore the bland decorating schemes in your home then do not worry, leave your false conception of not being able to personalize your rented home to be more suited to your needs and taste.

But before you go jumping up and down and dash out of your home to spend lots and lots on paints, and carpets, you will need to take a look on your lease and check if you are allowed to personalize your living quarters. There are landlords who do not like the idea of allowing their tenants the opportunity of painting the apartment.

If you and your landlord are on a friendly basis, perhaps you could  talk about a few suggestions about new paint agreeing to stay with some safe and neutral colors. They may even agree to share the cost of  the paint, and then you can possibly get on your way to the paint department.

You could consider buying a large area rug with which you could possibly cover most of the existing carpet, or maybe if you are a bit handy, maybe you can be able to create a temporary floor out of hardwood laminate that can cover up the middle part of the floor.

The countertops are quite a problem because you may be stuck with that except if it is in  really bad shape. To be able to cover over the bad counters, get a large chunk of wood or maybe glass, which are in the region of the size of the countertops, and then after that lay a custom-made tablecloth and put it on top of the counter and then the glass or the wood or top of that. It will cover the unwanted counter and giving you a work space that is handy and appealing.

Although these are not a lot of changes they are some very significant ones.
