5 Tips for Decorating your Rental | ||
Work with the landlord: When it comes to landlords, you will have a wide range of them but before you decide on what type of landlord you have, talk to them first. Ask them how they feel about updating some of the design elements in the home. If the floor is decades old, then ask your landlord if he would be willing to replace it. Every upgrade your landlord makes will not only make it a much better home for you but it will also increase his rental home’s worth. Another way to approach home renovations is to offer to do the work for him. Work out a deal where he supplies the materials, such as paint, and you will do the manual labor. Keep in mind what you are able to do and the amount of time that you have to do it and remind him that some jobs, such as plumbing, is something that he needs to hire a professional to do. If you would prefer to paint and decorate on your own, make sure you receive permission before you do. Many rentals will allow you to paint as long as you restore the home back to its original color. This isn’t a bad thing if you are planning to stay a while but if you aren’t that is a huge and unnecessary expense so I would avoid it. Talk about the floors: Unless you are very lucky, you are probably going to have a rental house with some pretty dingy flooring. If it doesn’t date back to the 50’s, then it is probably so full of stains and dings that it looks awful. Flooring can be an expensive investment for landlords and that is why they tend to be overlooked when they fix up a rental for a new tenant. Take me with you pieces: Obviously when you are renting, you will be bringing along your own furniture when you move but you can take more than furniture. Basically, when you are planning to decorate your own rental space, think about things that you can take with you. Statement pieces: Every design idea has a statement piece, whether it is a picture, a piece of furniture or a cushion that you are pulling colors from. Decorating for a rental home is no different than decorating for one you own. You will have a statement piece and you will also draw out much of your inspiration from it. The last point that I am going to make about decorating a rental space is to use fabrics. It is amazing how often fabrics are overlooked when it comes to a design and decor and with a rental property, there is so much that you can do to take your space from boring to exceptional. http://freshome.com |
