Struggling to decorate your rental in a stylish way? Just because you are renting, doesn’t mean you can’t create a space that speaks to you.
Here are five style solutions to help you get started!
1. Use Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
Peel-and-stick is a great substitution for regular wallpaper. Not only is it easy to apply, but it is also easy to remove without causing wall damage. Plus, it is available in many different colors and patterns. Everyone can find a style they love!
Here is a link to some of my favorites: Peel & Stick Wallpapers
2. Use Command Hooks and Strips
Command hooks and strips are a great way to avoid using nails on walls. They are easy to install and are great for hanging artwork, photo frames, and organizers. Recently, 3M has come out with different colors and styles of hooks and strips, so you can adjust them to your space’s aesthetic.

3. Use Peel-and-Stick Tiles
These tiles, similar to the wallpaper version, can elevate your wall space. They are water-resistant, so they are meant to last in areas like kitchens and bathrooms that have lots of splashing and humidity. Not to mention, they look exactly like real tiles, just without the expensive cost and complicated installation.

4. Install No-Drill Curtain Rods
If you are someone who wants to style curtains into their space without ruining their walls, this is a great option for you. Using a no-drill curtain rod with command strips is an easy way to avoid marking the wall. It can save a lot of space, especially in smaller areas.

5. Get an Electric Fireplace
Most rentals do not have fireplaces. Getting an electric version is a great way to bring in a stylish, yet cozy feeling to your rental. They come in various sizes and styles to suit your personal needs. They are much more cost and energy-efficient, as they are easy to maintain.
