5. Rugs That Anchor a Space (and Cover a Lot)
Ugly rental flooring? Cover it up. Rugs instantly make a room feel warmer and more put-together. Go oversized to hide bad tiles or carpet, layer smaller rugs for texture, and don’t be afraid to go bold—after all, it’s not permanent.
6. Swap Out Hardware and Fixtures
Those outdated cabinet knobs and drawer pulls? Totally swappable. Just store the originals and upgrade with sleek, modern options that fit the same screw holes. You can also swap faucet aerators or showerheads (just don’t lose the originals), turning everyday routines into tiny luxuries.
Summary
Your rental might have rules, but it doesn’t have to be boring. With clever, commitment-free design tweaks, you can create a space that feels personal, stylish, and totally you—no hammer, no hassle, no angry landlord. Your deposit stays safe, and your place finally feels like home.
