Living in a rental has its ups and downs. We all want to make our house feel like a home and personalize it to our tastes and needs. The only problem with renting, is that you must consider your security deposit and keep the home in the condition in which you received it. Changes and upgrades that you make, will most likely need to be reversed when it\u2019s time to move on. How can you create simple reversible changes that won\u2019t break the bank?<\/p>\n

\nFreestanding shelves can complement your home, no matter which style you choose to decorate with. These shelves are a good investment since they are easy to move and take with you when you go to your next place. Storage can be a challenge, and installing wall shelves can violate your lease, so freestanding shelves are the way to go.<\/p>\n
\nUpgrading your kitchen with some backsplash that fits your style is an easy way to make a kitchen feel like your own. DIY peel-and stick tile decals can add a backsplash to a space or cover up one that doesn\u2019t feel like home.<\/p>\n
\nHammers and nails can cause damage that you often will have to patch upon moving. Command strips are a great alternative and allow you to hang art and photos without the damage and future work. Choose the right strip for the job and you\u2019re golden.<\/p>\n
\nContact paper is a great way to transform your countertop into a butcher block finish bringing a light and clean feel to your space. When applying contact paper, you\u2019ll want to clean and dry the surface and take the time to carefully adhere it to all surfaces of the counter. When it\u2019s time to remove you can just peel it off and move on.<\/p>\n
\nIf the property owner is ok with you repainting the walls in your space, it\u2019s a great way to add a wow-factor. You will most likely need to repaint the walls upon moving out, but you will be able to enjoy the transformation until then. You can choose to repaint one room, or even just one wall.<\/p>\n
\nSwapping out knobs, or cabinet pulls can really change the feel of a room. You can even swap out the toilet paper holder or towel bar for something that feels more like you.
\nThere are many simple things you can do to modify your space and upgrade without costing you time and energy down the road. These upgrades can even be done if you own the home and want to keep things simple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
