We all sigh over furniture stores with beautifully decorated interiors sets and tell ourselves, “I only need to be in this house for sometime, I can’t invest into so much into beautifying the living spaces!” Low and behold it's not just you, today, a good part of today’s urban population lives in rented living spaces, many of which used to remain bare and characterless months after being lived in.. Until the concept of renting expensive furniture items such as modern console table, red sofas have now gained popularity with everyone due to better conceived business models. This has helped eliminate reluctance in investing in beautifying living spaces which are not our own. Now,there are many simple, affordable ideas for interiors that don’t necessarily involve drilling or nails to make your home look beautiful. Here are a few tips from Creatalog to help:
1. Light it right
While CFLs are the standard for lighting available in most furniture stores, experiment with other fixtures.Remove and store away the existing boring lights and invest into some warm lights for your interiors. Layered lighting through the use of multiple light sources can create varied different zones and moods in the living spaces. For instance, a charming console table next to your rented red sofa or favourite armchair can create a little reading nook. A rented bedside lamp that throws light patterns across the interiors is a great backdrop for late night conversations.
2. Change-your-mind wall art
Removable wall decals are all the rage with interiors these days. They are inexpensive, readily available in furniture stores and can simply be peeled off the wall without damaging the paint or plastering. Plus, they come in a variety of designs, easy decoration for any rented console table from your favourite Peanuts quote to florals, animals, or cartoons. On the flip side, they tend to lose their adhesiveness once you peel them off. So plan their position carefully.
3. Hue’s hue
Hate the wall paint your apartment’s come with? Repainting it will cost a lot. Instead, consider bringing to the living spaces the colours you love - think upholstery and soft furnishings like curtains, cushion covers, and carpets. The best way to get started is by making a colour palette that will work well with your wall paint. Use the 60-30-10 rule. Do up 60% of the room in a primary colour, 30% in a secondary colour, and 10% in an accent shade. If you have rented a red sofa with a wooden grain console table that you definitely want to keep in the room, pick the accent for the soft furnishings from this combination.
4. All eyes on the floor
Why stop at renting furniture? A rented rug is also an incredibly simple way to make your home feel homely - there’s something so warm and welcoming about “rugged” living spaces. For high footfall areas with rented furniture pieces such as a statement red sofa choose a durable, low maintenance carpet that’s in a light colour or scarcely patterned. Rugs in low footfall areas can be fancier: a jute or silk hand-crafted one, for instance. Make sure to measure the room dimensions and the area you want to cover with the carpet or rug before heading out to the furniture stores.
5. Not just window dressing
Curtains can add some instant visual drama to any living space. Pastel shades or florals give a soft, cosy feel, while satiny textures with minimalist console tables create an opulent look. Make choices that compliment the decor style. Remember that each time new curtains are bought from one of the local furniture stores, change the cushion covers to keep the interiors well-coordinated.
