Of course, this is not America's great dream, but long-term leasing also has its benefits. You don't have to worry about raising interest rates or agency fees, you can move out at once, and, contrary to traditional wisdom, you can make this place feel like home.


Structural changes and large-scale renovations are usually not allowed for renters, but you can make a lot of changes without the landlord's approval. More importantly, most people don't spend a leg or an arm, and they don't take up too much of your time.


There are nine damage-free ways to decorate your rental.


1. Create a special wall with stickers or tape


As you may have guessed, painting the walls is not feasible without the approval of the landlord. But this does not mean that the wall is completely out of bounds. A good idea is to use stickers. You can get some red round stickers from local newspapers (such as stickers that the store uses to show which items are being sold), then make a trendy dot-shaped wall, or you can use Wari tape to draw an interesting pattern. When you move out, both should be easily removed from the wall so you can still take back your deposit.


If neither of these ideas can shake your ship, you can use a removable wallpaper instead. It's simple, with a variety of patterns and styles that shouldn't leave a trace because it doesn't require glue.


2. Use temporary floor


When you want to replace the unsound carpets and linen, your hands may be tied up, but you can always hide them and see them. Use a vintage rug to cover up the sins of the floor, or consider buying some patchwork wood panels or custom rubber flooring.


3. Show photo


One of the easiest and cheapest ways to decorate it with memory. You don't need to tell your entire life story, just provide a way to escape.
Take photos with friends and family and showcase holiday souvenirs. Not only will this add a little color to your rent, but it will also add a smile to your face when you are in a bad mood.


4. Buy some art


Really, this one is very simple. Adding some art to your wall is often what you need to turn a monotonous rental into a charming little room. It does not need to destroy the bank. Buy an old-fashioned advertising print from the local market, or buy something weird from a store, then put them on a tray to form a coherent episode.


If you search around in the antique store and collect some antiques that are not attractive to you, then you may save a sum of money as a statement to build the rest of your aesthetics on this foundation. This will allow you to inject a healthy personality into your home without making you feel confused.


5. Adding plants


Sometimes renting a house is hard to feel really at home, but bringing some potted plants will make the space vibrant and make the space last longer. Try the succulent plants in the bathroom, the water lily outside in the shade, and the ferns in the shade of the house. Wild, because you can go anywhere with your friends.


6. Replace old blinds and curtains


Homeowners often overlook windows, have sharp curtains and blinds, and often survive many rental renovations. The good news is that you can buy a cheap piece of furniture from IKEA and throw them away with the existing curtain rods. When you leave, it's easy to change any changes you make.


7. Use lighting to create an atmosphere


You don't have to use the light bulb that comes with the house, so if the light bulb is too dark or too bright, please feel free to replace it. Once you have upgraded the light bulb, you can also buy a few lights. They are like art, projecting lighter, flatter light than most ceiling lights, and can be attached and removed without any trace.


8. Buy a mirror


Mirrors are absolutely necessary when renting a house. They add space and light and give your interior a polished, refined look. The full length mirrors at the end of the corridor are very beautiful, and when they hang on the wall, the flatter, smaller mirror looks great.


Discounted interior design stores usually have a small bag of decorative mirrors with a wall security adhesive attached to the back. Buy one like this and watch out for a bigger one to perfect the new look of your house.


9. Investment wall hanging


There are several different wall hangings on the market, and if you don't use them, it's a shame. There is no need to drill holes in the landlord's hole, they are the dream of every rental decorator, and are equipped with hooks, clips, crosspieces and even small shelves. 


Many of them are designed to withstand heavy loads, so don't be shy when using them as furniture and shelves. Just make sure you follow the specific weight limits for each base.
