Whether you'd like to increase the space or make it more functional, there are many ways to accomplish this through low-cost projects., but some require a deeper level of expertise than what you probably have access to. For that, you will probably want to hire someone. Here are just a few examples of common projects that can turn your rental into a better fit for you.

 

Install Home Theatre Projector

Do you want to make your rental fit better? The first way you can upgrade your rental is by installing custom home theatre projectors. This is a great option if you're looking to save money on your rental because it allows you to use the TV that was already there before you moved into the unit.

Having a home theater projector can help create an entirely new viewing experience for you and your family, which will make you think about staying in the rental for longer than originally planned.

 

Improve The Lights

Lighting is essential for any house or business establishment. There are two lights that you can add to your rental to not only improve the look but also add an elegant touch. First, add a chandelier in the living room and another one in the bedroom. Second, add pendant lights over the island table for an updated kitchen feel.

One of the easiest and least expensive ways to do this is to install LED lights, which provide an effective and low-cost way to brighten up dark spaces and save energy at the same time. Since there are so many different types of LED lighting now available, you can find the perfect solution for your rental.

 

Create Storage Unit

If you're living in an apartment that's divided into separate rooms, then chances are good that you need to divide them up even further. If this is true, then it may seem like a massive undertaking because of the amount of work involved.

However, there's no reason for you to worry because you can just invest in a doorway storage system. This is the same type of system that is installed when your apartment building goes through construction, so it should be easy for you to find one at an affordable price.

 

Go Back To Nature

You might not think of this, but adding plants to your home can make a huge difference. Not only will it add some color, but you're sure to feel at peace with your new green friends around! After all, who doesn't love the smell of fresh flowers? The great thing is that there are many types of plants that require little to no maintenance.

In fact, one of the easiest types is the cactus. There are so many colors and shapes you can choose from that will fit any type of decor. And if you don't have a green thumb, there's always artificial plants, which look just as nice as the real thing but never die.

Build A Fire

It's no secret that lighting a fire, or even just the smell of it, automatically makes any room feel cozier. Not only is it an inexpensive project (not to mention easy), but it requires little to no maintenance and can be done in less than half an hour.

You don't need any flammables or tools, just a flue, and a chimney. Just make sure there isn't an existing fire going so you don't cause any accidents.

 

Create a Cozy Reading Nook

Creating a reading nook is another great way to add coziness without spending much money. An easy project for this would be hanging a few string lights or lamps that are scattered around the room.

You can also add a small rug to make it more comfortable, which will also eliminate any squeaks on the floor. For extra comfort, you can always put in a pillow or two.

 

Add Mirrors To The Walls

Mirrors can do wonders in a small house or apartment. If you feel that there is not enough light coming into your home, then add mirrors on every wall to make it seem larger and brighter.

 

Hang Curtains or Drapes

Another great way of adding color to your home is through curtains. You can also use them to cover up things you don't want people to see, like the laundry or your car.

Curtains are another great way to add space and dimension. You can also decorate them with various patterns, which will make them pop out even more, especially if you use two different types of curtains next to each other.

 

Install A Wall Mural

Another way to upgrade your rental is by making it appear larger than it really is. To do this, all you need to do is install a wall mural. You can choose one that features large windows and bright colors, which will make the rental appear larger than it actually is.

If you're working with a small rental and want to make it look like more space is available, then this is an excellent option for you.

 

Add Insulation Central Heating

And finally, if you want to make upgrades that will stay with the rental long after you leave, then there's no better idea than adding insulation and central heating. Both of these additions will make your rental more energy-efficient and comfortable, which can save you a lot of money in the long run.

There are several different ways to install those upgrades because it all depends on your preferences and budget. However, one thing that's clear is that insulation and central heating will stay with you for as long as possible, making them an excellent investment for the rental.

 

With these tips, you'll be able to make your rental feel more like a home and less like simply a place to stay. Plus, if you want to know exactly what changes can give you the best bang for your buck, then it's time to talk with local property managers in your area.
