Quick and easy ways to redecorate a rented… part 1

The rental flat market in Poland is almost as big as the market for properties for sale. Not everyone can afford to buy a place of their own, and those who decide to rent a flat are primarily students and young people who have only just started their careers. This practical and economical solution may, however, have one drawback. It is rare to be able to furnish a rental flat from start to finish in your own style. When choosing one, we often have to accept the existing look of the interior. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to decorate a rented space without making permanent changes. Here are the most popular of them.

Colourful details will liven up the interior

To make a flat look friendlier and cosier, we do not need to repaint the walls or buy new furniture. We can opt for inexpensive but striking decorative items in attractive colours. These undoubtedly include cushions, throws, curtains and rugs. These inexpensive accessories can effectively change the character of the entire interior. So if we are planning to introduce colourful accents into the rooms, it is worth choosing the extras mentioned above in attractive colours. Such a solution will certainly transform the look of rented interiors.

Wall stickers instead of painting

The look of the walls has a very significant influence on how the whole room is perceived. Painting the walls is often too expensive and time-consuming for tenants, or the landlord simply does not allow it. In such a situation, to change the look of the walls for the duration of the tenancy, you can opt for self-adhesive stickers. Interior design shops now offer a rich choice of attractive patterns, among which everyone is sure to find something to their taste. Stickers of this kind are easy to apply. They are also easy to peel off and leave no marks on the wall. An ideal solution for a rented flat.

Posters stuck up with adhesive putty

A second idea for decorating the walls without damaging them is to use adhesive putty, which allows us to attach our favourite posters to the surface. In this way we can replace pictures that would require drilling into the walls to hang. Adhesive putty, unlike sticky tape, does not pull off the paint when removed from the wall, so it is an excellent choice for use in rental properties.

Throws will transform the look of old furniture

Most rented flats already contain some furniture, which often cannot be removed or replaced with new pieces. Moreover, its appearance also leaves much to be desired if several tenants have already passed through the flat. To change the look of old furniture and give it at least a hint of our favourite style, we can cover it with decorative throws. Shops now offer a huge range of throws in various colours and patterns. We can therefore easily choose a throw for a sofa or armchair that meets our expectations.

These are not the only quick and easy ways to change the look of a rented flat. You can read about more of them in the next article.
