Home décor is an extremely tricky task which becomes all the more tricky when the home you are decorating is not your own but just a temporary rented abode. When it comes to doing up your own house, there are plenty of options because you don't mind spending money for it; whereas in the case of a rental, every penny spent is like a pinch. However, this does not mean that we don't fix our homes even if they are temporary. So, we thought of the next best thing, which is bringing you four simple and inexpensive ideas to make your rented house look fab!

Start with your Kitchen

We are assuming here that the kitchen that came as part of your rented apartment isn't huge and doesn't come with unending storage space. So, we will suggest that you get yourself a nice pretty pegboard in a funky colour to brighten up your kitchen. The best thing about them is that they are both functional and pretty! With the help of a pegboard, you can make your old pots and pans look like an art display!

Wallpaper without Commitment

Wallpapers mean a little amount of hard work plus a decent amount of expenditure but it is preferred over the not-so-fancy walls of your rented place. So, the best you can do here is opt for peel and stick papers which ensure that the landlord won't throw a fuss for destroying their precious wall paint when you remove them, as cleaning up will mean a simple wiping up of the walls.

Pretty Photo Frames

We have all made memories on our way and what works better at putting a smile on our faces other than reliving these memories? Pick out your favourite photographs, have them framed in pretty photo frames and use them to beautify your space.

Lamp Light

As we all know, lighting can make a lot of difference to what your place looks like and we are sure not many of us want to change the light fixtures of our landlords! So, what we can do instead is buy pretty lampshades which can brighten up this house as well as the next!

If you are looking for an overhaul for your home, we have some ideas you will instantly fall in love with. These styling tips will easily win you the title of a trendy home décor aficionado. Embrace these tips, now!

Industrial Styling – Industrial styling is huge right now. From office spaces to pubs to homes, its rustic yet urban feel is quite the rage amongst designers. But you are thinking, how do I incorporate this in my home? That's what we are here for! Try and find 'new-old' elements, like carts and pulleys at your favourite retailer shops or just pick up some interesting vintage pieces from your next flea market visit!

Statement Flooring – Flooring is as important as decorating the walls but often it takes a backseat. Put it back in focus by adding a statement rug. Rugs not only look stylish but also solve the purpose of covering the floor. No matter what your answer, statement rugs are still a worthy investment.

Go Blue – Known as the most peaceful colour liked by all, blue lends a rich and royal look to the entire space. There is a shade for everyone, pick anything from sky to indigo to teal. It's timeless, so you won't get bored of it easily. Pair it with colours like coral, yellow, green to bring out its brilliance.

Try Tribal – Tribal prints are geometric in nature and embrace angular motifs in an exotic manner. They often appear in muted, earthy tones. Try out the look on a rug, pillow, tapestry or wall art for a funkier look.

Indoor Plants – Get a little green inside the home and bring in life. Embrace nature with cute indoor plants. You can place them in nooks and corners or as statement pieces on a table.

We know summers are here and instead of cribbing about the heat, we feel it's best to gear up to make the most of these scorching summers. The first step towards combating this summer heat is to make your house summer friendly. Doing this is easier than it sounds, that's the best part! All you need to do is see things around your house in a new light. So, the first step is to let light in. Yes, throw open your doors and windows, pull open the curtains and throw away anything that stands in the way of letting light and fresh air in!

We suggest lighter shades for summery looking walls but if they're already painted in dark shades and you cannot change it, then you can brighten up your walls with colourful art pieces, which can be found at throwaway prices at flea markets or resale shops. The next step is to get new slip covers for your sofa in colours like aqua and turquoise; this will lend your living room a summer friendly look.

Next up is your duvet. Please switch to comfortable cotton duvets for summer. You will be spoilt for choices but choose organic cotton sheets with soft leafy and floral prints to create a romantic summertime bedroom. After the sheets, take care of your pillows and get pillow covers in graphic prints or textile paint for that edgy contemporary feel. Use ceramic containers to display the flowers and potted plants around your house for a fresh and clean look.

Rethinking your summer décor wasn't so hard, was it? Just get inspired by the bright and sunny colours of the summers and give your house a breezy feel with our easy tips. And just in case you are the romantic type, don't forget flowers and candles for balmy summer evenings.
