Make It Yours: Personalising Your Rented Home (Without Losing the Deposit)

Just moved into a rental and want to make it feel like home without breaching the tenancy agreement? Here’s how to put your stamp on the space safely:

1. Removable Decor
Peel-and-stick wallpaper or decals add style without leaving marks. Ideal for feature walls or updating tired tiles.

2. Soft Furnishings Matter
Rugs, cushions, and curtains make a huge difference and are easy to take with you when you move.

3. Hang Art the Smart Way
Use damage-free hanging strips for pictures, mirrors, or clocks. No need for nails or wall plugs!

4. Upgrade Lighting
Swapping out standard light shades for something more stylish can transform a room—and is easily reversible when you leave.

5. Plants Add Life
Houseplants instantly make a space feel more inviting. They’re low commitment and high reward—even one or two can lift the mood of a room.

Always check with your landlord before making any changes—but there are plenty of ways to make a rental your own, while still keeping your deposit safe.
