Renter-Friendly Decorating Tips: How To Make Your Apartment Feel Like Home

Your apartment should feel like a place you actually want to come home to. And the best part? You don’t have to sacrifice your deposit to make it happen.

Whether you’re new to RPM Living or just want to refresh your space, these renter-friendly tips will help you personalize your apartment—while keeping your lease in good standing.

Layer Your Lighting

Make your apartment feel cozy and inviting with a few stylish lamps or LED strips. The right lighting makes a huge difference, especially in apartments with standard overhead fixtures.

Use Rugs to Define Your Space

Rugs add comfort and style while protecting your floors. They're also perfect for defining zones in open layouts—especially in RPM luxury apartments with expansive living areas.

Bring Life In With Plants

A few houseplants can instantly brighten your space and improve air quality. No green thumb? Go faux for the same aesthetic without the upkeep.

Hang Art the Renter-Friendly Way

Use adhesive hooks or damage-free picture hanging strips to display your favorite art or photos. It’s a quick way to bring personality to your walls without leaving holes behind.

Add Cozy Textiles

Throw blankets, plush pillows, and layered bedding can instantly make your apartment feel warm and lived-in. These easy additions also let you switch up your style with the seasons.

From cozy touches to clever decorating hacks, making your apartment feel like home doesn’t require permanent changes. With RPM apartments, you get a beautiful foundation to make your own—no damage required.
