Reader Question
“I am moving into a rental property after moving out of my own home I owned due to a change of circumstances. I really want to make it feel like home but there are so many limitations as a tenant. Can you help me create my new happy place?”
Dear reader,
We understand that renting a home or unit can limit your ability to make changes that reflect your personal style and taste, but we would be delighted to assist you in creating a space that feels like home.
However, with the help of an interior designer, you can still achieve a stylish and functional space without breaking any leasing agreements.
Engaging with an interior designer can benefit you in many ways when it comes to making changes to your rental.
Firstly, we can help you create a space that meets your specific needs and preferences.
Working with you as a team to understand the look you are trying to achieve, and then offer ideas and solutions that are unique to your space.
This way, you can create a personalised space that feels like home even if you’re renting.
Secondly, an interior designer can help you maximise the functionality of your rental space.
A rental home or unit may have its limitations, such as a small kitchen, limited storage, a lack of natural light or could just look outdated. We can help you find creative ways to work within these limitations and create a space that is both functional and stylish.
Thirdly, we can help you stay within your budget.
Renting a home means you may not want to invest too much money into it, especially if you plan on moving out at the end of the lease. We can help you make the most of your budget by prioritising design elements that will have the most impact on your space. We will also be carefully choosing items together that you will absolutely love so you will want to take them with you and re-create the look again.
Finally, engaging with an interior designer can save time and stress.
Decorating and designing a space can be time consuming and overwhelming, especially if you’re not familiar with design principles.
During our consultation, we will start from the entry and work our way throughout the space, including outdoor areas. You will be inspired and educated on how to bring your ideas into reality so you can enjoy all the areas. We can assist in selecting furniture and accessories, and coordinating with contractors and suppliers on your behalf. This way you can truly enjoy the process and have peace of mind that everything will be in perfect scale and cohesive. The main goal is that when you come home you feel relaxed and happy to be there.
At Style Central Home it is all about YOU! Your lifestyle is taken into consideration and all the things that are important to you. We certainly want you to smile every time you walk in the door and knowing that you were a part of all the decision making as we work as a team.
If you would like assistance to style your rental home, reach out for a complimentary no obligation initial 20-minute phone consultation.
