Making the most of a rented home can be challenging \u2013 but with a bit of inspiration, it is possible to create a dream home, no matter the name on the mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the cost of living crisis continuing to bite, renting is having a moment right now. So much so that a third of renters have no intention of getting on the property ladder<\/a> any time soon.\u00a0That’s the equivalent of 1.48 million households in the UK all wanting to make their rental pad a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to campaigners at Generation Rent, over 13 million people in the UK rent their home from a private landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is, with every let comes the likelihood of a tenancy agreement that could limit the changes a tenant can make. So how far can you push the creative boundaries to put your own stamp on your rented home?<\/p>

Chris Hutchinson, CEO at tenant referencing provider\u00a0Canopy<\/a>, says that as a tenant, you typically need to keep the rental property in its original condition to avoid questions from your landlord or deductions from your deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t personalise the space to make it feel like a forever home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris says the extent to which you can redecorate your rental home will vary depending on your tenancy agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best approach is to have an honest conversation with your landlord to understand what they are comfortable with,\u201d he advises.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome may allow you to paint the walls in neutral colours or install shelving units for extra storage. Open communication is key, and most landlords will appreciate your honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, we asked interior experts for their out-the-box tips on making a space feel like home, no matter how temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for an oversized headboard <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the bedroom, wallpaper might be off-limits due to lease terms, but you can still make a big impact with bold, large and decorative headboards that bring a unique accent to the room without causing any damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen looking for something a bit different and more personal, try placing a flattened-out concertina room divider behind your bed instead of a headboard,\u201d suggests Anne Haimes, design director and founder of Anne Haimes Interiors<\/a>.<\/p>

\u201cThere are so many fun options available online, with lots of different textures and features to choose from. It\u2019s a great way to add a unique touch to your space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo compliment the look, add plenty of decorative cushions. Use large cushions no less than 60cm by 60cm, as these are perfect for sitting back and reading.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be light smart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Light fixtures are perfect for a quick way to make a rental feel more like home – all you have to do is replace the lampshades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne says this will bring warmth and homeliness to a space while adding decorative flair.  <\/p>

\u201cOpt for a pretty fabric-style lampshade in a bedroom that needs a lift,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are so many materials, patterns and colours available to choose from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia Boardman, lead designer at\u00a0My Bespoke Room<\/a>, suggests swapping out standard light fixtures with stylish plug-in wall lamps or rechargeable wall lamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdd lots of layered lighting with table and floor lamps and don’t worry if you don’t have enough sockets, as you can purchase rechargeable lights too,\u201d she adds. <\/p>

\u201cGood lighting can dramatically change the feel of a room, making it super cosy and a great ambience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover it up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a furnished rental, furniture covers offer a game-changing way to transform a sofa<\/a> you don\u2019t love into something that better fits your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the design timeless, Anne suggests opting for a neutral hue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can always add your personal touch with colourful throws and scatter cushions,\u201d she suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe added bonus is that the sofa will also be protected from wear and tear.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make pseudo-structural changes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soft furnishings such as rugs, curtains, throws and cushions, are all your best friend when it comes to making a space feel homely. But the difficulty lies in adding a personal touch to walls and vertical spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing tall, free-standing bookshelves that lie flush against the wall and provide cubby-holes for decorations, frames and plants will allow you to decorate without risking damage from nails, stick-on pictures or wallpapers,\u201d Anne explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a pseudo-structural change in an open plan kitchen-living room, dividing the room with a two-way bookshelf is also a clever solution,” she continues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This will transform the space and provide a new dimension, plus the bookshelf itself can be decorated with your personal touch. Each \u2018cubby hole\u2019 can house books, frames, house plants, and other decorative items.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use this concept to create a living wall.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the perfect way to bring the outdoors inside while making a rental property feel like your own oasis,\u201d she adds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"stylish<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Go modular<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not yet living in your forever home, opt for furniture that can adapt to whichever space you put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver Burgess, architect and design studio manager at Resi<\/a>, says modular sofas are a great choice if you’re renting as they can be reconfigured to suit your home, or made bigger simply by adding modules when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInvest in modular furniture that can be easily reconfigured to suit different spaces and layouts, making it easy to adapt to new rentals,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stack up some storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Olivia suggests choosing multifunctional furniture pieces that offer storage solutions, such as a storage ottoman which can double as a coffee table with a tray on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side tables with storage are another practical solution and ottoman storage beds free up clutter in the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese all help in keeping your rental tidy and clutter-free,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your wallpaper removable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It used to be that wallpaper-ing a space was a semi-permanent move, only to be undone with a lengthy session with the steamer. But now you can change the look of your home on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOpt for peel-and-stick wallpaper which comes in various patterns and colours,\u201d suggests Olivia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s easy to apply and remove without damaging the walls, allowing you to infuse your personal style into your space without risking your deposit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver says wall decals will also add a pop of colour and pattern, without any wall damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorate the walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A gallery wall is something that instantly adds style and character to your home, but all that hanging can be a time-consuming job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead, why not hang up a shelf or ledge and add your favourite prints, photos or accessories to it?\u201d suggests Johanna Constantinou, interior trends expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a great way of adding your own personality to your home. Just remember when you move out to fill in any holes if needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric Wall Hangings are another option to bring personality to walls, without the risk of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHang large pieces of fabric or tapestries to add colour and texture to your walls without making permanent changes,\u201d Oliver adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He suggests using command hooks and strips for hanging artwork, mirrors, and other decor items to avoid drilling holes in the walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do a tile cover-up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going for a full re-tile in your rented kitchen or bathroom is likely to be out of the question, but thankfully there are some options for making over tiles<\/a> that aren\u2019t to your taste, including stick-ons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decals have come a long way in recent years, come in a variety of modern patterns and can fit over your existing tiles to completely change the look of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better still when you move out, you can peel them off again with no harm done to the originals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Grey

Opt for magnetic paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For an innovative idea, consider using magnetic paint<\/a> to create a wall or a section of a wall that acts like a magnet board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can then use magnetic frames and accessories to display art, photos, or important notes without needing nails or hooks,\u201d Chris advises.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a great way to personalise your home without making permanent changes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade the flooring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stuck with an uninspiring, somewhat threadbare carpet? Switch it up with some carpet tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarpet tiles are a great, durable option for those renting over both long and short terms,\u201d say Johanna from Tapi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey come in a variety of colours, textures, and pile options for the perfect underfoot feeling that suits your specific needs. Simple enough to fit and just as easy to remove, carpet tiles have a stick-and-peel adhesive system that allows you to pull them away once you\u2019re finished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johanna suggests using a hairdryer to warm the adhesive as you peel away, allowing for a smoother removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if floor coverings appear worn in places, consider purchasing area rugs to cover them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot only will it freshen up the space for a very modest investment, but they also add texture and depth,\u201d says Avalana Simpson, from\u00a0Avalana<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia recommends opting for bold, colourful area rugs to define spaces and add warmth to your rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey can cover unsightly flooring and are easy to take with you when you move,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Large

Go big on cushions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cushion and textiles have the power to elevate an entire space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook for classic colour combinations such as moody blue and white to freshen up a space, or if you aren\u2019t sure where to start use the design colour theory by using the colour wheel,\u201d Avalana suggests.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsing colours opposite in the wheel are really complimentary so sage greens with bright pinks work wonderfully, so too does dark green and peach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make micro-improvements <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the most subtle of upgrades can make a big difference to how you feel in your rental home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good idea to give some TLC to the forgotten areas of the house that likely haven\u2019t been upgraded for years,\u201d advises Marlena Kaminska, designer at ValueLights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMicro-improvements such as swapping your shower head, replacing crusty outlet covers and putting up new\u00a0lampshades are subtle changes which can make all the difference to your living experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your landlord will appreciate like-for-like replacements for products of a newer finish, if you\u2019re swapping out any fixtures for aesthetic purposes alone, Marlena advises ensuring you store the originals in a cupboard so you can reinstall them upon moving out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Making the most of a rented home can be challenging \u2013 but with a bit of inspiration, it is possible to create a dream home, no matter the name on the mortgage.
