Edmonton Decorator | How to Decorate if You're Renting

How to Decorate When Renting: By the Numbers

 
I always recommend to my decorating clients, to make a big change, with the smallest investment, you paint. Paint the walls, paint the trim and paint the cupboards. 

But, in a rental you can't do that. You're prohibited from painting or renovating in any way. So what's a renter to do that want's a stylish place with some personal flair?

First, here's the list: (Photos to follow)

  1. Use Removable wallpaper  
  2. Add Wall Decals 
  3. Use Moveable Storage
  4. Create a Distinct Entryway
  5. Decorate with Mirrors
  6. Personalize with Drawer liners
  7. Make a Framed Chalkboard
  8. Buy Statement furniture
  9. Decorate with Indoor Trees
  10. Buy a Conversation Piece
  11. Add Ambiance with Faux fireplace
  12. Hang Pictures on a Wire

    Edmonton Decorator | Gardening Trend 2015

    The Insider's Guide to Decorative Mosses


    Whether fresh or faux, indoors or out, I find moss to be a charming way to add texture and appeal to your home and garden.

     The Japanese have gardened with moss for centuries. Valued for its reduced need for watering, its greenness is considered to add a feeling of lushness and serenity to Japanese gardens.

     So, how does your garden grow?




    Moss in Milk Glass
    Monogrammed Moss Letters
    Moss Covered French Settee
    Moss Graffiti
    Moss Covered French Chair
    Moss Grout between Paving Stones
    Moss Covered Buddha Statue
    Welcome Moss Signs
    Moss in Candle Pots
    Moss Covered Garden Statue
    Whether you're an urban condo dweller or a suburban inhabitant, you can incorporate this trend within your surroundings. So go on and make the "moss" of it.
