Kathy OMG you are the master the of decorating rentals! I love love your living room and your tips! Especially the one about using plants and books, I definitely do both. I’ve been trying to convince hubby that we should switch out the light fixtures in this house {we did in our last rental} but he actually likes them *rolls eyes* LOL. Thanks again for putting this series together.
Thank you Linda! Your house is just gorgeous. I’m waiting for the day that I can actually paint walls again. I’m so glad you are sharing your rental experience too!
I love your tips and while I was browsing your site the one thing that came to my mind was how I wish I followed your blog early in my marriage to help guide me through all that rental life and decor has to offer. You truly are a master at rental living and making it your own. You always have great tips!
The use of multipurpose furniture of cabinets is great idea it works with small interiors and hanging artwork is also nice idea for decorating walls. Thanks for the suggestions, they are really nice.
Thank you for sharing these tips! As an idea, for a wall you would love to use as an accent wall, but don’t to (or can’t) hang wallpaper, instead of gluing the wallpaper to the wall, a good idea is to cut the paper into picture frames (preferably with thin frame borders) and hang the pictures up. Hope this helps!
Hi Kathy , First time to your blog. I am not a renter but looking for ideas can happen anywhere. There is a photo in this blog post f a rug in front of the mantle with “stove” These are my colours (not a typo I am Canadian ) light background with blue and purple print. Is it possible to get the info on the rug…company etc. am going to read more now. 🙂 Kind Regards Lisa
Hi Lisa, I’m glad you stopped by. That rug I purchased at a store called Nitori in Japan. They do have a website but I’m not sure if they are located in other countries.
lol! Maybe overstock? Some of my favorite Canadian blogs are PMQforTwo, The DIY Mommy, and The Happy Housie. Maybe they would have better resources for rugs. RugsUSA ships to you but there is an extra shipping cost. Good luck!!

Aw! You are so sweet. I did all the decorating in our common living rooms in college and haven’t stopped! I’ve had lots of practice. 😉

That’s a great tip Danny! I’ve done that with printed paper in poster frames. I love the impact it makes. 🙂
