Can’t Paint? Color Solutions for The Blank Slate
Not everyone is ready for home
ownership. It takes time to build up credit requirements, save down payments
and clear your credit history in preparation for today’s rigorous loan process.
So for those stuck in rental property, which is more often than not painted the
flattest possible shade of white, it can be difficult to show your personality
without endangering your deposit. Fortunately there are some harmless ways to
bring color to your space without hiring a painting crew to rectify the changes
before you move out.
Accentuate Your Life
When you can’t paint to your heart’s
content you’ll want to add color to the space in removable ways. Accent pieces
are a great way to do this since you’ll naturally take them with you when you
go. Colorful paintings, vases, knick knacks or candle holders will help to
bring pops of color into the otherwise dull room. Also try adding curtains or
rugs with a bold color concept or pattern to them.
While this might sound like it has
little effect on a large white room you’d be surprised how far some small pops
of color can go. Still not satisfied? Consider painting an accent wall. This
way you can have your color in a way that is easy to repaint upon moving out
with little financial investment involved. Check out this article on accent walls.
Furnish Your Addiction
Another easy way to bring
non-committal color to your space is through your furnishings. The great thing
about a white room is that it’s truly a blank slate. You can add whatever
colors or patterns you want without concern for them clashing with the walls.
So a white room is the perfect place to let your furniture do the talking. With
bright colors, bold patterns and sleek designs you can make a big impact on a
dull room with just a few well-placed chairs or pillows. Click here to learn more about how small furnishings with big color
can change a space visit.
There are a lot of perks about
rental property, but unfortunately the ability to fully customize the space
isn’t usually one of them (unless you’re okay with forfeiting your deposit and
the possibility of other charges). So for those stuck in rental for the
foreseeable future adding personality to your space will take just a bit more
imagination and know-how.
