5 Renter Friendly Décor Tips For Apartments

When it comes to an apartment for rent, one of the biggest downsides would be the fact that you’re going to be limited on décor options.

So, what can be done about this?

Fortunately, there are some renter-friendly décor tips to make your home look gorgeous!

Rugs

Adding rugs to an apartment can make a room feel cozy and add texture, pattern, and warmth. Rugs can also be used to hide imperfections on your rental floor. 

Buying the right rug for your space is important. While some rugs are intended solely for use on the floor, other rugs are meant to be displayed as art. Rugs can be layered to create a significant shift in the look and feel of a room. Adding a large rug in the center of a room can create an inviting and grounded feel. It also provides a great anchor for your furniture.
