Renting an apartment definitely has its demerits compared to owning a property – from the unimpressive flooring to the roofing and a light fixture; even if everything seems perfect it might not be to your taste or standard.
As a tenant you don’t have the liberty to make permanent changes due to the fact that you don’t own it, but there are ways you can tailor the apartment to your own taste without it taking a toll on your wallet.
Change your lock or door frame
The safety of lives and property should always be considered when renting an apartment. Haven said that the first thing you need to do is change the lock of the main door, knob or the frame to guarantee your own security. You can decide to spice it up by changing the colour to match up to the blinds or your settee. Have it mind that you might need to the replaced door in case your landlord requests for it.
Change the Toilet seats
Most toilets are always in standard healthy condition but like the door, the toilet is also an important appliance in the home. It is hygienic that you use a toilet you can trust; hence we advise that you change the toilet seat or the replace the set if you can afford it.
Lighting
Lighting of any house is very essential because it serves two purposes which are beautification and illumination. You most likely might not get what you want in terms of lighting, you can replace them with any of these: fluorescent, incandescent or led depending or what suites you.
Kitchen
Your expectations are hardly met when it comes to kitchens in rented apartments, it’s either you have a leaky tap or cracked ceramic washing zinc or perhaps a not so ventilated place which will hinder the recycling of fresh air. All you have to do is a light renovation of the place since you are a temporary occupant – repair the basic things you need and make it look appealing.
Welcome your guests in grand style
Much attention should be given to the living room since it will play host to your numerous guests, and you obviously don’t want them to meet you in a shabby environment. Make it simple and classy – nice settee colourful blinds and so on…
