How to Make Your Rental Yours and Get Your Money Back
Outside of staying with your mom, living in a rental is perhaps the easiest, most cost-effective way to maintain a home in the urban jungle. If you’re lucky enough, you might even snag up a place with warm, wooden floors. But if you are on a tight budget and want to spice things up in your rental, you’ve come to the right place. And get your deposit back when it is time to move.
Art Attack
First is to place artwork pieces that you fancy on the walls. Thi bigger, the better. This IKEA RIBBA is the biggest frame we have into putting your desired artwork in place. Then we can let the MOSSLANDA ledge do its thing: hold pictures in place. You can also try several smaller ones to fill up the vertical void that is your wall. The KNOPPANG set of 8 frames got you - and your wall - covered.
Add a Wallpaper
If you’re not big on art, maybe a wallpaper can add attitude to the bald walls. Get kisses every time you enter your living room with the OMELDEBAR wallpaper. Too chic? How about a silhouette of the world map? A run of the mill wallpaper will also suffice to add that needed attitude to a rather boring wall.
Reassess your Lighting
Lighting can change the ambience of any room. Soft, warm light from the SOLLEFTEA pendant lamp can instantly make your living room comfy. The FOTO pendant lamp, meanwhile, is a trusty partner for your kitchen and dining room. It radiates the right amount of illumination when cooking or eating dinner. The SINNERLIG pendant seems to have come straight from the bamboo garden just outside of town. It will just guarantee a nice, cozy night and fresh mornings. Because nobody wants glaring light in the morning, the SINNERLIG softens the light emitted from the bulb.
Rug
There is but one rug we recommend for adding warmth and attitude to your living room. And that is the LOHALS. Small enough to not invade other spaces but large enough so you can lie down on your rug if you want to.
Shelf It
One of the top-shelf design and storage solutions is the wall shelf. It turns any boring space into something with purpose. Take the BOTKYRKA for example. It makes for a great kitchen shelf to place spices and bowls. For the living room, the LACK wall shelf and INDUSTRIELL are both stylish, minimalist and highly-functional.
The best part is, all of these can be easily undone once you get enough cash to buy your own place. Then you can really turn that place into your home sweet home.
