Renter Friendly Improvements
As a renter myself, it can be difficult at times to make necessary improvements that have the renter stamp of approval. Here are some options to personalize and practicalize your rented space.
Kitchen
Renter-friendly kitchen upgrades to free up space, customize, and make essentials accessible.
When you don't have a ton of cabinet space, these magnetic racks are a great option for storing your spices and herbs. It also makes the seasonings more accessible.
For some rental spaces, the kitchens can be small. If you don't have much counter space, this adhesive holder is great. It also makes your kitchen more customized.
Customize your kitchen with an easily installed and removed adhesive backsplash.
Another space saving idea. Place the holder so it rests near your coffee maker. Then the coffee mugs will be accessible and organized.
If you're like me, you have many cooking utensils that don't all fit into one holder. Free up counter space and make your utensils more accessible with this holder.
These lights are great for the kitchen. I'm pregnant and therefore eating at 3am, so these lights are helpful when finding snacks during the night!
Safety
You may not be allowed to drill in deadbolts to your rented space's door, but here are some options to feel safer.
We were gifted a Ring camera, but couldn't install it with drills, so this door mount was a necessary purchase for us.
Extra security will always help, never hurt.
Children in the space or not, these non-drilled anchors are perfect for renters.
Don't have a deadbolt? No worries. These portable door locks work great at providing security and peace of mind.
Have some nosy neighbors? Keep out prying eyes with these peel and stick window films.
Decor
Everyone should feel free to personalize their homes whether renters or buyers. Here are some renter-friendly options to help you BE YOU.
Painting can be a hassle in a rented space (if you're even allowed to paint). This peel and stick wallpaper removes the hassle of personalizing a space.
Check out the adhesive flooring options out there for you. My rental has some odd tiling, so a major upgrade was needed. I know someone who had there tiles for years and it peeled off easily when they were ready to move out!
You can hang your beautiful curtains without the drill with these adhesive holders.
Love these clips come Christmas time. These adhesive string light clips are waterproof, so they're great for outdoor use.
Such an inexpensive way to turf a small backyard or area. I've heard of renters using these for their dogs.
Upgrade your bathroom or vanity mirrors with these Hollywood adhesive vanity lights.
Another great item to have during Christmas time, or just to hang your favorite decor pieces.
Practical
Here are some options for practical renter-friendly upgrades.
Love these magnetic door screens for days when the weather is nice or when you're having an outdoor get together.
These adhesive headboard pieces are soundproof. They can be placed in the bedroom, living room, theater room, or studio.
When our front door's draft stopper broke, our apartment manager took FOREVER to fix it. These stoppers were very handy for us.
It's good to have a system for your keys, as I always remind my husband.
Renter or not (but specifically renters) , you should have an air purifier in their home. Just one woman's opinion.
