Many rentals do not allow you to paint walls but that does not mean you can't put your own personal stamp on your home. There are many ideas out there. My three favorites are listed below. They give the quickest splash of color and charm, are inexpensive, and can be temporary on a wall.

Peel and Stick Wallpaper.
My new obsession! I am NOT talking about peel and stick decals; its like wallpaper that comes in a roll! It is so versetile; And easy to use! Chevron Aqua/White Removable Wallpaper Wave Grey Peel and Stick Fabric Wallpaper |
Use peel and stick wallpaper in a bookcase!
 |
You can use it as wallpaper like I did recently.
CLICK HERE to see my project (it is a work in progress right now). You can also use it to turn a bookcase into a focal point. Just search under 'peel and stick wallpaper' for tons of online sources including Home Decorator, Target, and Murals Your Way.
Tip - Lining one wall or the back of a bland bookcase looks impressive, and then can easily come off!
Big Bold Wall Organizer.
Organization and beauty in one is so HOT! That's a 'win win' in small rental units. This adorable white and gray quatrefoil welcome shelf from Hobby Lobby brings multi practicality by storing mail, gloves, purses, and has hooks for keys and coats! It is 36" long and 16" high.
Tip - Even small entry ways can use wall hooks, but keep it looking hot, not boring, with a fun hook system!
Flamboyant Curtains.
This is the oldest trick in the book for adding temporary color. I love this ollie eclipse curtain from Wayfair because it has vibrant color in a paisley pattern. It really 'pops' against white walls, bringing in an array of fun colors.Tip - The key is to have the right ratio of window to curtain. Single windows need 2 panels, and larger windows need more! I sew 2 panels together to make it look like a larger panel on either side of a double window. You can also have your dry cleaner do this for you inexpensively!
