Dear Denise,

How do I style my rented Home?
KW, Karuah

It can seem difficult to decorate a home that you are renting, but there are some style tips you can employ.

Modern Media: Advertise with News Of The Area and you get your ad in 1) in Print, 2) on the News Website (like this ad), and 3) on our Social Media news site. A much more efficient way to advertise. Reach a HUGE audience for a LOW price TODAY! Call us on 02 4983 2134. Or media@newsofthearea.com.au

Walls: If you are prepared to pay for the materials, do the work and are painting a neutral colour, maybe your landlord will agree to you giving the rooms a facelift with paint.

Use large wall art pieces instead of a lot of small pieces, eliminating the need for lots of holes in the walls.

Furniture: Use stylish pieces, either buy Ikea style furniture that you can assemble yourself or why not go to op shops for a shabby chic or industrial look. Either way, furniture makes a huge difference to a home’s overall appearance.

Floors: If you hate the carpet buy large decorative rugs. Ensure you purchase good quality rugs though avoiding trip hazards and ensuring endurance for wear and tear.

Lighting: It can impact a room enormously. Purchase beautiful light shades. Have a statement piece. Dress up a room quickly with gorgeous light fittings & lamps.

Gardens: Transform them with statement plants in pots, garden art & outdoor furniture you can take with you when you leave.

Hope that helps.

Denise.
