Different tenants have different choices.
For newly graduated college students, because of the limited money in their pockets, most of them choose to share a room with others, and their activities are usually limited to their own bedrooms. In this case, there are not many exposed walls in a large area, which naturally saves the need for repainting. As long as you choose a color you like and match the color of the room, making a wall cloth above the bed is enough to set off the warmth of the hut.
The operation of the wall cloth is extremely simple, as long as a wire is fixed on the roof, and then the cloth is stretched to the bedside. In addition, this method is also very easy to take care of, and can be removed for machine washing after dusting. If you want the room to change with the seasons, it's easier, just prepare a few pieces of cloth with different cold and warm colors.
Of course, for individuals or newlyweds who have a certain economic foundation to rent a whole house, they can repaint the walls themselves if the landlord allows.
When choosing a wall paint, it should be noted that, besides your own preferences, you must try to choose a model with a lighter color than the fancy color sample, because the wall area is large, coupled with the diffuse reflection of the paint, once the paint of the same model on the color sample is reflected on the wall, its color will deepen visually. Especially some cool colors, the darker the color, the more pressure.
In addition, compared with the bedroom and study, it is suggested that the living room use brighter and milder colors. If you are a smoker, you can choose light yellow wall paint, which can properly cover the yellow smoke dirt above the wall in the future.
Besides wall paint, wallpaper is also a good choice. But compared with wallpaper, the same high-quality wall paint only needs 40 yuan per square meter, while the latter needs at least 60 yuan. So when you choose these two ways, you must consider your budget and housing area comprehensively.
ceiling
The color should be appropriate to avoid bad eyesight.
In order to enhance the warmth of the room, many young people will paint the ceiling the color of the wall, and some will decorate it with patterns such as stars and the moon. These may be desirable in the bedroom, but in the living room, dining room and study, I suggest you use white.
Because, once the ceiling is colored, especially the more conspicuous tone, it will cause the visual difference of 1 1- 12 cm. In other words, the original 2.9-meter-high house looks short 1 1- 12 cm, which will cause a sense of depression.
equipment
Practicality is very important. Place it according to your preference.
"Home appliances are complete, take a bag to stay" is the advertising language posted by most renters, but in fact, the furniture is only beds, wardrobes, sofas, TV cabinets and desks, and the rest need to be bought by tenants themselves.
At this time, it should be noted that in addition to your own preferences and prices, it is more important to consider the practicality of the purchased furniture and whether it is easy to move.
Based on the above factors, modular furniture is the best choice for tenants. For example, the square combination cabinet itself can not only hold books and ornaments, but also be freely combined into horizontal "I" shape, vertical "1" shape and "pin" shape, which becomes a changeable decoration of the room.
In addition, if you rent a small apartment, the most important thing that tenants need to pay attention to when looking at the house or buying furniture by themselves is that there is storage space under the bed. Don't underestimate the contribution of space under the bed to the sense of indoor space.
As for how to arrange furniture reasonably, the key depends on your living habits and preferences. However, for tenants who only rent one bedroom, it is recommended to put the bed by the wall or window, which can save more valuable overall space. If its window faces south, it is suggested to put the writing desk under the window from the perspective of lighting.
ground
Carpets are colored in layers on the floor.
Except for the old houses, most of the rented houses are paved with tiles or wooden floors. On this basis, if you want to enhance the warmth and layering of the room, you might as well find two wool floors and put them in front of the sofa and at the foot of the bed. This will not only make the indoor space more spacious, but also add new functions.
For the cement floor, you can choose full-color or different patterns of puzzles to cover the whole floor. In addition, if the ground flatness is enough, you can also choose the lock-type wooden floor currently on sale in the market, which can be removed without workers.
decorate
Warm photos of fabrics can be posted on the wall.
I want to turn the rented house into a warm nest in an instant and go to the market to buy seven or eight pieces of fabrics I like. Of course, their colors and patterns are best matched with each other, and then they can be used as curtains, bed sets, sofa cover, tablecloths, wall cloths and refrigerator cloths. Imagine that the whole room is shrouded in the beautiful atmosphere of its own weaving, and the comfort will naturally double.
However, if you feel that these are not enough to satisfy the sense of belonging of "home", you can also set up a photo wall on the blank wall, or buy two combined display cabinets, put on the collected models, or "specialties" brought back from your travels in recent years to form a personal art exhibition wall full of memories, which will naturally be more like your home.
In addition, if it is a house shared by two or three friends, the above practice is equally desirable. Imagine opening a display wall in the living room to show their treasures. If an outsider comes to visit, it will become a "scenic spot" that can tell stories for half a day, which is not a bad thing.
skill
It may not be difficult to change the rented house, but it is not your own house after all. Therefore, before the tenant starts construction, it is best to confirm with the landlord whether his house will be reclaimed for other purposes in two or one year, so as to avoid wasting his effort. At the same time, we should make a good budget and plan in advance to avoid waste.
