Use your own bed sheets

Rental bedding is often of compromised quality. So, up the comfort level by making the bed with your own bed sheets from home. A pop of summer color or patterns will instantly personalize your rented space and will make sure that you are comfortable after those long beach days. It’s also a good solution if you find it difficult to sleep in new places.

Go for rugs

Not every tenant is lucky enough to find a house with gorgeous hardwood floors. If you fall into that other category of having wall to wall carpet flooring, a stylish area rug could be your solution. Just make sure to stick with light, summery colors so that a room does not look busy and bulky. Not only will it help to spruce up your rental but will also help to cover the imperfect floors.

Hang colorful curtains

We are assuming you have a difficult landlord and you want to avoid sticky wallpapers or holes in the walls. No worries, we have a great alternative for both you and your landlord. Liven up your space by hanging some colorful curtains. Consider lighter, sheer drapes in shades like white, yellow, or green. It will bring in a lot of natural light, giving your space an airy feeling.

Add organic appeal

Bring life into your rental space with some real living things. Tiny plants like succulents in a large shell will not only add natural textures and colors to your space, but will also help to improve your overall air quality. Alternatively, you can opt for terrarium or cacti, or simply pick fresh cut flowers and change the water frequently.
