Easy ideas to refresh a rented flat
Abeer
No drilling, no painting, no lost deposit: ways to make a rental feel like home.
You can make a rented flat feel personal without touching the walls.
Lean, don't hang
A large mirror or framed print leaning on a sideboard looks deliberate and needs no nails.
Change what you can take with you
Curtains, rugs, lampshades and cabinet handles transform a room and move house with you.
Bring in plants
A few large plants soften bare corners and make standard rentals feel lived in.
