How to Personalize an Apartment Rental on a Budget (Part Two)

Update Your Rugs

 

Not only do rugs instantly warm up your design, but they’re also a killer way to showcase your personality. And there are so many different types to choose from at every price point that it's a breeze to find one that's perfectly suited to your style sensibility. Bonus points if you layer two of them like this for a trendy touch.

Give Love to Your Walls

 Wallpaper isn’t the only way your walls can transform your look. From gallery walls to fiber art, your wall's decor can do a lot of heavy-lifting on the personal style front. And if you have a space in your rental that you’re looking to define more clearly, like this espresso bar, integrating a gallery wall is an incredibly simple and effective way to do so.

 Treat Your Windows

 Whether you opt for light and breezy or long and dramatic, your window treatments are a no-fail way to enhance your look. And if you’re like so many of us who are working with less square footage than we’d like, installing your curtain rod high above the windows and investing in extra long curtains will seriously maximize your visual space by making our ceilings appear higher.

 

Play With Plants

 Plants are unrivaled in their ability to make a house feel like a home. They purify your air, add texture to your aesthetic, and infuse your space with all sorts of feel-good vibes. Plus, the vases and containers they’re held in are packed with plenty of personalized decor potential.

 

Bring It With Books

 Book lovers, rejoice! In addition to feeding you with knowledge and expanding your perspective, your favorite books can also considerably enhance your home’s style. If you don’t have a bookshelf, consider installing some floating shelves like these for a low-maintenance, unobtrusive way to display your favorite stories.
