Five Ways to Make Your Rental Space More Cozy
There are many reasons to rent versus own. Some seasons of our lives call for busy city living, while others have us seeking quiet tree-lined streets in the suburbs. Renting will give you a taste for a neighbourhood without having to commit long-term.
With renting, there are limitations to how much you can customize your home but with some clever thinking and imagination, your rental home can still be completely cozy and uniquely yours. Here are some fun ways to make that happen!
Are you a big coffee drinker? Use that awkward space in your rental kitchen to create a coffee bar! You will also save some coin if you grind your beans at home – no gratuity required!
A coat of paint is a fast and beautiful way to make an impact on your new rental space. Yes, you will have to paint it back when you’re moving onto the next chapter of your life, but it will still be worth it to have rooms that reflect who you are.
A gallery wall that showcases art and photos that you love is a fun weekend project, and if you use adhesive wall stickers (they can hold a decent weight!), there will be no holes in the wall to fill down the road.
The saying is cliché but still rings very true – a rug really does pull a room together. If the floors of your rental are not very pretty or comfortable underfoot, a thick and colourful rug can add style and warmth to a room!
A beautiful room can easily be a bit jarring with a bad overhead light. Use a more antique orange-hued lightbulb to avoid that “office lights” glare OR simply use a few lamps in each room and don’t use the overhead light. The vibe will instantly be warmer and more inviting!
