Onto my top 5 items that I am so happy to have in my home. 

1. Temporary Wallpaper

Temporary removable wallpaper saved my grungy old bathroom in my rental apartment from being the saddest room in my home.

This DIY product helped class it up a lot more AND best of all I didn’t spend an arm and leg to renovate.

These types of decorating ideas for renters in addition to wall decals are simple solutions like this that can make living in a rental so much more pleasant.

The reason is you don’t always end up with a rental with all the upgrades and the nice finishes. You have to work with what you have and make the best of it.

2. Wood Grain Contact Paper + Peel and Stick Tile

For my bathroom makeover, I made the perfect choices with grey wood grain and black contact paper, along with peel-and-stick tiles.

These products had the most significant impact on transforming my “blonde” wood grain vanity into a chic upgraded piece. The peel-and-stick wallpaper added an extra touch of elegance.

The best part? When it’s time to move out, these upgrades will come off easily, ensuring our deposit remains intact. No worries about restoring it to its original state!

3. Plant Basket

For my living room makeover at the beginning of 2019, I added some fake plants to my home. One of the plants didn’t come with a finished decorative planter.

But, finding a cheap one on Amazon that looked nice ended up being the perfect decision for the design.

These decorating ideas for renters are so simple and easy to throw together. The result… so lovely.

4. Stained Glass Privacy Window Film

In my home office, I have a glass window door that leads into my dining room. It made having privacy when I was working impossible.

Distractions up the ring yang from pets and the fiancรฉ. So I decided to try a stained glass window film to adhere to the glass. It did not disappoint.

It was super easy to install and the results were so exciting!

If you want to see the pattern on my door, I have a recent Instagram post that shows part of the door I am talking about.

5. Accent Pillow Covers

One of the best ways to change the seasons in your decor is to change out the accent pillows by using covers for your existing pillows.

They are super inexpensive to purchase. Hell, I have even made my own without even sewing it.

I used hot glue and it lasted forever.
