It can make it hard to turn your new rental property into a home as it can be hard to put your personality on it.Below we’ve put together some tips which can help you make an executive homes for sale into your personalised home..

Furniture

Opt to rent unfurnished so you at least have some option over the furniture you place in your home. A brightly patterned sofa or even a sleek leather couch can be enough to inject some of your style into the home. The walls may still be bare but you have shown guests what kind of taste you have through the furniture. You can theme your rooms individually or have a running theme throughout the house – it’s a great way of creating a sense of belonging and personality.

Wall Art

The options for making your walls stand out are plentiful. It used to be if you had a rented house with magnolia walls all you could do was pin a couple of pictures up and hope the landlord wouldn’t complain. Now there are tons of temporary solutions to make your house into a home. Wall murals and decals are a great option and add real interest to a room. They can be stuck on and removed with ease. You can also go crazy with prints and family photos which show off the things that matter the most to you.

Rugs

It’s a sad fact that plenty of rental houses come equipped with some shockingly ugly carpets but never fear, large rugs are here! Choose a rug which suits your room’s theme and in seconds you can have the room you’d always dreamed off with only inches of the ugly carpet remaining. There are plenty of beautiful rugs out there and using the internet can help you find them at affordable prices.

Accessories

Interior designers have been pushing this point forward for years – accessorise! Accessories can make your home really come alive and help it feel like it really belongs to you. Accessories can be anything from quirky cushions to rainbow-coloured throws or anything which fits in with your taste. Smartly placed bookends and copies of your favourite editions look great too as do ornate candlesticks – it all really depends on your personal style and how you want to reflect that in your new home.

Don’t be disheartened when you arrive at your new rental home and it’s bland and empty. Just because you can’t get the paintbrush out doesn’t mean you can’t make it your own.
