Rental designs
7 1/2 years Kevin and I have moved to 3 different countries and rented many "different" style homes. It has been interesting to decorate rentals. I have some thoughts on decorating a place that is not your own, to help you feel at home then living in a white box.
Simple things you can do to add detail and personality. Pillows are my weakness! I buy decor pillows any time I see them on sale. It is an easy way to get a new look with a neutral sofa. Another thing is accent pieces. I love to take a bright red vase, red books, and other red things and group them on a shelf. You can make a big impact with pops of color! Thrift shops are the best places to get accent pieces for pennies. So on these snowy days you feel down...go bargain shopping and cheer up that white rental home!
