Just because you’re renting, doesn’t mean you have to be stuck living in the house as it is. You can make creative design changes that are easily reversible and not in conflict with your lease. Here are some renter-friendly reversible remodelling ideas to instantly revamp your space. They also work for commitment-phobes and people who just want to test out design ideas before jumping in.

Removable wallpaper

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is expensive. An alternative is a removable wallpaper made by applying liquid starch to regular wallpaper. This can easily be removed one residue-free strip at a time. You can easily give a blank wall in your home a renter-friendly reversible makeover by creating an accent wall with a bold print or colour. If this still feels like too much, you can use stick-on wall decals like painted dots, hearts, or palm trees wherever they look good.

Temporary flooring

Flooring is one of the most expensive things to change in a house and is almost impossible for renters to do. You can get around this by using interlocking laminate planks to cover up unsightly flooring. These planks don’t require nails or adhesives and can be installed over your existing floors simply by snapping and locking them together. This is an easy renter-friendly way to add a trendy floor pattern or sleek grey floors without the commitment or hassle of redoing the flooring.

Temporary wall tiles

Traditional wall tiles are expensive and messy to install and are not a renter-friendly renovation. Nix the grout, glue, and mess by using self-adhesive wall tiles that can effortlessly be applied to walls through a peel-and-stick process. They can even be stuck on existing tiles and later removed to reveal the old undamaged tilework. This can allow you to create daring living room accent walls as well as beautiful bathroom and kitchen backsplashes.

Update textiles

Textiles can drastically change a space and allow you to bring your personality into it. You can start by getting a rug or a carpet. It may be a little expensive but is renter-friendly because you can move with it and it can really transform a room with not-so-nice flooring. You can also change other textiles like the drapes, shower curtain, and cushions to personalize the place. Swapping out old blinds for new ones is a simple way to give the space a facelift.

Replace fixtures

Replacing fixtures like showerheads and faucets with newer, more efficient equivalents is a simple way to save water and add style to your bathroom and other fixtures. You can also replace pulls and knobs on cabinet doors and drawers which is a small renter-friendly change that can have a significant impact on a room’s overall look.

New lighting

Good lighting is integral to creating a warm and inviting space. If you’re stuck with harsh, overhead lighting, you can get around it by installing ambient lighting. It could be as simple as getting a decorative floor lamp or recessed lighting to diffuse light throughout the room. This is an affordable and renter-friendly renovation.

Gallery wall

You can showcase your personality with a gallery wall. Create a non-permanent gallery wall by collecting your photos and favourite prints and grouping them into several frames. You can use adhesive strips to easily remove or rearrange the pieces without the hassle of using a drill and screws which is renter-friendly.

6 Cool Ideas To Decorate Your Home With Family Photos 

Countertops

Marble countertops are expensive and far from renter-friendly. Get around this by using self-adhesive marble look-alike vinyl film. It transforms countertops and furniture into stunning marble surfaces for a fraction of the prize of the genuine article. This can easily be reversed by peeling away the film to reveal the old surface. You can also use contact paper to cover-up roughed up surfaces like countertops and an old coffee table.

House plants

This is one of the easiest renter-friendly changes you can make. Bring the outdoors in by adding some greenery by incorporating indoor house plants into your home. They will brighten up the space and have a positive impact on mental health.
