Living Room Ideas: Renter-Friendly Design Inspiration

Decorating a space you’re simply renting is a challenge. Especially when apartment living room ideas that consider all your limitations aren’t as common, and all the gorgeous living rooms you see don’t really fit your needs. There’s no need to worry, though, because we’re here to give you apartment living room ideas and inspirations that’s definitely renter-friendly.

Apart from a living room, there really isn’t that much space left. So make the most out of it! Add book shelves, make a study or reading nook, put in a media console, and create whatever other space you need. Take inspiration from this living room that has floating shelves with a lamp and a photo frame embedded.

If you pick an apartment with walls already painted, then simply color-coordinate! This living room took advantage of the teal walls and added touches of pink and white.

Aside from being the inexpensive choice, curtains are much easier to switch around. They also make your living room homier by letting more sunlight in.

When you’re dealing with a small space, every item gives you an opportunity to decorate—especially tables. Instead of getting one big center table, why not get several smaller ones? A smaller coffee table gives you more space for a sofa, and it gives you space to move around. Some coffee tables let you create decor nooks on free walls—put up photos, prints, even a mirror.

While we’re all focused on walls and furniture, don’t forget that you can decorate the floors too! Pick a rug or two—it’s one of those really simple apartment living room ideas that don’t require mounting or installation.

Even with all the constraints, don’t forget that the apartment living room ideas you choose should make it a space you want to stay in. Rearrange the furniture, add your favorite prints, frame your most treasured photos—whatever it takes to make your apartment a home.
