Are you planning to move to a new apartment and worried about losing your deposit? Don’t be. You can make your rental apartment look great without risking your deposit with a bit of creativity and effort. However, ensure you get an apartment that meets your needs, preferences, and budget.

Choose one with a lot of natural light, good ventilation, and a comfortable layout. Work with a reputable real estate agent or an online rental platform to make the process easier and quicker.

UMoveFree has apartments for rent, offers free searches, and you might qualify for a free move or rebate. Here’s how to decorate your rental apartment without risking your deposit:

Use Leaning Mirrors

Use large mirrors to create the illusion of space and make your rental apartment appear more extensive. Place them opposite windows to reflect light and make the room look brighter and spacious. You can also use mirrors to brighten a hallway or create a focal point in your living room. Leaning mirrors don’t leave any wall damage and are easy to move, making them ideal for renters.

Hang Curtains Higher

To make your ceilings appear higher, hang curtains farther away from the window frame. This simple trick will make your rooms look bigger and brighter. To brighten the space, choose light-colored curtains.

Add an Area Rug

An area rug defines a space and adds color and pattern. It’s a great way to personalize your rental apartment without making any permanent changes. Choose a rug closer to your coffee table size if you have a small space. In a larger room, you can go for a more oversized rug. Wall rugs are also an excellent option. They are easy to hang and remove and won’t damage your walls when you don’t use nails.

Wallpaper

Peel and stick wallpapers are a great way to add pattern and color. They’re easy to apply and remove and won’t damage the walls. You can find peel and stick wallpapers, from geometric patterns to florals. Choose a design that complements your furniture and decor.

The best part is that you can change the design without repainting the walls. It’s an inexpensive way to decorate your rental apartment and make it feel like home.

Add More Lighting

Add more lighting to create a warm and inviting ambiance in your rental apartment. Use floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces. You can also use string, fairy, or lanterns to add a soft glow. Candles are another great way to create a relaxing atmosphere. Just make sure you blow them out before you leave the house or go to bed.

To maximize natural light, keep your windows clean and use sheer curtains. They brighten up the space and make it look bigger. If you have small windows, hang mirrors opposite them to reflect light and make the room look brighter.

Decorate with Plants

Live plants can add life to your rental apartment. They purify the air, boost your mood, and make the space feel more inviting. Place them in your living room, bedroom, or kitchen to create a refreshing atmosphere. If you don’t have a green thumb, opt for artificial plants. They are just as beautiful and require no maintenance.

Use Removable Decals

Removable decals add color, pattern, and texture to your walls without damaging them. They include wall decals, wallpaper murals, and stickers. Visit your local craft store or browse online to find a design you love.

Open plan apartment interior.

It Only Takes Creativity and Effort

As you will realize, it’s easy to turn any space into an apartment that feels like home with some creativity and effort. These ideas will help you make the most of your rental apartment without risking your deposit. You won’t spend much, but the difference in how your place looks and feels will be worth it. Go ahead and get started.
