Renter-Friendly Decor Plans for Our New Space

Collage of furniture and renter-friendly decor

Another year, another move! We moved into a new apartment this weekend, so I wanted to share my renter-friendly decor plans for our new space. (You can see my plans for our last move here.) After 5 apartments in 6 years, we’re ready to stay a while…so I sure hope this sticks! Thankfully, the new apartment is larger with better features that we’re really excited about. I get a real full-sized studio room now. I’ve been working out of my little closet-sized room for a year, so I forgot what it was like to have space! Here’s a peek at my decor plans:

I have an entry project in partnership with Wayfair coming up soon that will give you a first look into the decorated apartment! I’m also looking forward to updating our IKEA sofa and investing in a new coffee table in the coming months. Let’s make this place feel like home!

My Priorities for a Happy Rental

  • Paint! It’s not quite as renter-friendly to paint, but I’m finally going to DO IT. Inspired by my friend Racheal of Banyan Bridges, I’m going to add some mini arch murals. I also plan to paint one of the bathrooms. I’m confident it’ll be worth the repainting later on! I was always very nervous to paint in previous homes because I knew we wouldn’t stay long, but honestly, life is too dang short not to paint your walls.

  • Wallpaper Accents: Incorporating wallpaper was part of my renter-friendly decor plans from last year too. I transformed our bedroom with wallpaper closet doors, and I was honestly SO SAD to have to remove the wallpaper to move. Now that we have two bathrooms, I’m hoping to add wallpaper to one of them. I’m thinking of adding some in the kitchen too since we are lacking a backsplash. I’m loving this design as well as this one.
  • Invest in Storage Solutions: Kitchen cabinets are weird. I look forward to a day when we own a house and I can redesign the cabinet layout myself because rentals are just odd. Good storage is essential for any home, but it’s particularly helpful when working with renter-friendly decor because you have limited options. I’m investigating useful storage containers that will fit our kitchen and am still looking for a good way to organize a small but deep drawer. Suggestions? I purchased double-decker turntables and a thin cart for next to our fridge, and I’m already so happy with these purchases.
  • Save up for Furniture Favorites: Anyone else turn into a shopaholic walking through the Target home decor section?! One of my home decor goals now is to show restraint and save up for high-quality furniture that I really love instead of getting excited by the first deal I see…and it’s going to be tough. Andrew and I both would LOVE a new couch, but because that will require some saving, we’re focusing on the small changes we can make now. That’s why we’re excited to try out a new couch cover first! Then we can keep saving for our “dream” couch.
  • Peel and Stick Tiles: After seeing a few tutorials online, I’m really interested in using peel and stick tiles on our fireplace. The fireplace is perfectly lovely as is, but I do love adding a bit of personalization.

  • Plants Everywhere: I still have an extraordinary knack for killing plants, but I’m working on it. I’ve managed to keep my last few houseplants alive, so I hope to continue growing my collection of plants. It makes a place feel so much more homey!

That’s all I have planned so far! Do you have any other renter-friendly decor plans you’d recommend? I’m excited to see how I can decorate this new space in the coming months.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
