Interior decorating for rented property Part 2

Part 2

Bedrooms 

Bedrooms can be brightened up, with the bed being the main feature, with good quality bedding that matches the curtains or carpet. Again, rugs and accessories will make the room more personal and unique. Not everything has to be too matchy matchy. Pick out particular colours that stand out and choose things that complement each other. You may want warm, earthy colours for the autumn and winter and paler pastels and primary colours, for the spring and summer. 

Wardrobes

If you don’t have a sliding door interior wardrobe, then you’ll be choosing your own, choose something that’s a little slim line in order to give yourself some more floor space, and make sure there’s plenty of shelving. You don’t want to bombard the room with too much furniture. It needs to be a tranquil and relaxing place for the end of the day when you want to unwind. You don’t want to be tripping over furniture, or bags of clothes you can’t find room for. 


Stay individual

Finally try and add some individual touches. If you decide on a particular theme, try and add something that makes it more uniquely yours. If you decide on shabby chic or minimalism, then it can all too easily end up looking like a furniture shop window display without any personal touches at all It’s important to have it just as you’d like it, but something that tells the visitor about yourself, such as photographs, books, ornamentation – just adding your own personal little quirks. 


You may not be able to paint it in a colour of your choosing, you may not be able carpet it yourself or choose the flooring, but at least you can bring your own personality to it, so it looks more like your home – and not the landlords.
