Not yours, just renting? It can still be homely

Just because we don't own a rented house or apartment, we only rent it, doesn't mean that it isn't homey. Of course, we cannot change anything to our liking in a home that is not ours, but the goal is still to be comfortable there, to be our temporary home. We know very well how important it is to live safely and well in our own realm. This affects the time spent at work, but also our private life and social relationships.

If you also rent the apartment or house where you live, you know very well what your landlord allows and what not. One thing's for sure, he won't have any objections if you keep making him pretty. It's also okay if you decorate and make it homey, perhaps not according to his taste. In this situation, he does not live there, so he must satisfy your needs. If you give permission, you can paint the walls again. Of course, you have to agree on the colors, but if you don't have any objections, you can work with your colors as well. This way, the apartment will really make you feel as if it is yours. If the main tenant doesn't rule it out either, you can customize your walls with strips of wallpaper and decorative mattresses.

Furniture and devices that require drilling into the wall or ceiling must be agreed with the owner of the apartment.

Furnishing your home is almost a private matter. If you bring your own furniture, the tenant does not care where you put them. Moreover, if you surprise yourself with new things, it will increase your assets, which you will be able to carry on. Furniture stores, second-hand stores, DIY stores all offer opportunities to get ideas. If your hands are good, you can make some decorations and even furniture yourself.

Home textiles not only provide the house with colors and patterns, but also provide warmth. Blackout curtains do even more, as they can sufficiently block the path of light in the evenings. Carpets can also be used to decorate a room. they also provide protection for the bare sole.

Lighting is especially important now. In the autumn and winter, the days are getting shorter and this means that the lights in our homes are on more. And with artificial light, the home can be made warmer and more intimate, in addition to providing enough light for what we need to do. At the same time, mood lighting, light bulbs, and LED decorations also help to create the feeling of a real home.
