The rental apartment is not just four walls and ceiling. This place where residents spend free time, have a rest and gain strength. And it is for this purpose important to perceive leased living space as home. Quite simple receptions help with it.
If owners not against alterations
First of all, it is worth coordinating all changes in the room with its owners. Ideal option — when owners agree to improvement of interior. In that case couple of weekend are required to make small repairs. Remove old wall-paper from walls, using the palette, and if necessary — the special chemical compositions. Put ceiling in order: tension wipe, wash up the foam sponge, colored it is possible even to refresh with fresh covering. Paste new wall-paper. To save, it is worth studying captiously the range of paper wall covering, often among the cheapest it is possible to meet pleasant design. Roughnesses of walls will disguise abstract patterns, and vertical strips will visually increase height. The shade of wall-paper is lighter, the will be more spacious to look the room. It is the best of all to paint over the peeled and scratched doors dark paint (it will hide all roughnesses) and to decorate with new handles, and the ancient tile in the bathroom and in kitchen will be changed by decorative film with the unostentatious drawing.
If at most that was resolved by owners, is to drill several holes in walls, then it is worth thinking over placement of shelves, pictures, posters and wall cachepots with flowers. They will cover spots on walls and in general will distract attention from shortcomings of wall-paper or plaster. It is also possible to change old-fashioned eaves for modern, this reception will not bad refresh space if to hang up stylish curtains. It is necessary to fix eaves as it is possible closer to ceiling that the room seemed higher.
If walls are inviolable
There is also it that to owners something expensively current state of housing, and they forbid to carry out though some repair. Here shift will help. Bulky cabinets need to be removed from field of vision, having shifted to outer door. The sofa put across the room will cope with problem of zoning. It is worth thinking over in advance carefully total option of arrangement of furniture, to draw the plan on paper or even to simulate on the computer.
All unnecessary master's things in the absence of the storeroom or the place in cabinet can be put in beautiful strong boxes and to turn them into part of decor. Let play role of tables and padded stools! And identical cardboard boxes with the drawing will look not bad on low Soviet cabinet or sideboard (or buy beautiful screen and hide behind it all superfluous).
The final luster to the apartment will be given by favourite plaids and small pillows, rugs and curtains. The cosiness to the house will be brought by local luminous sources: desk lamps, floor lamps, even daisies, LED tapes and small lamps on solar batteries. And, of course, it is good to place on windowsills nice pots with lively colors.
