WELL, YOU’VE DONE it. You’re finally out of the trenches and have bagged yourself the dream rental you’ve been searching for. The only thing left to do, is decorate and hopefully banish the grey vertical blinds that came with the property!
Allianz offers homeowners, renters and landlords peace of mind with their flexible home insurance products. The space you love and spend your time in can be protected with a policy that caters for your specific needs, whether you own your home or rent it.
Putting your own stamp on a rental can be a tricky endeavor, with many landlords having certain rules and restrictions in place when it comes to DIY but you don’t need to wait to own a property to make a house a home.
Whether it’s no holes in the walls, a restriction on furniture options, or a simple storage issue – renters are faced with a unique set of limitations when it comes to decor in a rental property.
Although at times a challenge, let’s not let that stop us, with a sprinkle of creativity and some peel and stick wallpaper (of course) transforming your rental property can be incredibly fulfilling and instantly make you feel at home.
We’ve done a round up below of our favourite accounts to follow on Instagram for renter-friendly decor ideas to inspire you. But remember, it’s always best to check with your landlord before getting started to keep that deposit firmly intact.
