If you’re a design lover, living in a rental can be frustrating. How can you create an inspired bedroom design when you can’t do much to change the overall look of the place? The simple answer is: you get creative!
For example, if you have generic flooring, the easy solution is to get some rugs. It might seem strange at first to cover up carpet with rugs, but a colorful rug will distract the eye from that boring old carpet and help your room pop!
Most rentals also come with flat, dull white walls. You might not want to bang holes in them (and your lease may forbid it!), but that doesn’t mean you can’t add some personality to them. Some art, textiles, and even temporary vinyl stickers or wallpaper can pack a serious punch. You can even upholster a whole wall with the fabric of your choice with a simple solution of corn starch and water, and when it’s time to move, you just peel it off!
Finally, many rental units lack decent closet space. The solution? Armoires, chests, and even clothing racks! All three can be used to make a style statement in the bedroom. Check out more ideas for sprucing up a rental below!
