Renting a home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style and individuality. While it’s important to keep your security deposit in mind, decorating your luxury apartment in Albuquerque with renter-friendly decor offers you a chance to showcase your personality and make the space your own.
At Platinum Luxury Apartments in Albuquerque, we want you to feel truly at home here. We encourage our renters to decorate their apartment to reflect their personality, and we love seeing the fun styles they come up with! To keep your security deposit safe and your space looking great, here are some low-effort, renter-friendly decor tips that make a big impact.
No-Damage Wall Solutions
Hanging Art & Mirrors
Hanging decor on your walls doesn’t have to cause damage. Even for heavy items, peel-and-stick hooks or Velcro are easy, durable alternatives to nails and screws. Create a gallery of artwork or use mirrors to create the illusion of a brighter, bigger space without putting a ton of holes in the wall.
Not only do these solutions protect your walls, but they are also often easier to use than messing with screws and nails.
Kitchen Backsplash
Most apartments lack kitchen backsplash, which can bring color and unique personal style to a kitchen. For renters, consider investing in removable backsplash tiles. If you can’t find the look you want online, try creating a DIY backsplash by using fabric and plexiglass.
Temporary Wallpaper
A frequent complaint about renting is that you can’t paint the walls—or if you do, you have to paint it back when you choose to leave. Luckily, there is a solution: temporary wallpaper. Temporary wallpaper is an easy, renter-friendly way to bring style into any room. For those on a tighter budget, research DIY fabric wallpaper, which offers a similar look for a fraction of the cost.
No-Damage Flooring Solutions:
Peel-and-Stick Tiles
Removable, peel-and-stick tile squares are an excellent way to elevate kitchens and bathrooms. Instead of standard vinyl or tile, you can have fun designs, a new color, or a classy, polished look.
Vinyl Wood
Vinyl wood flooring is easy to install and remove, giving you the option to transform your flooring with no damage. As a bonus, you can even install these on walls to introduce a natural wood element to your space. They are particularly great for bathrooms and kitchens, as they are waterproof.
Decor That Travels with You:
Rugs & Lighting
Rugs and lighting upgrades are an excellent way to make any space instantly feel cozier. Add some rugs over hardwood floors, under beds, or runners in hallways. If you can’t find a rug large enough to anchor your furniture, try layering two smaller rugs for the same effect.
At Platinum Luxury Apartments, each unit comes with stainless steel features and LED lighting, to truly give your space that luxury feel. While we love these features, implementing warm lighting, floor lamps, fun lampshades, or colored mood lighting can bring a sense of personality to your home.
Plants & Greenery
Introducing some greenery into your home is a surefire way to make the space feel brighter, more inviting, and exotic. Invest in some low-maintenance, Albuquerque friendly plants like a golden pothos, succulents, or a snake plant.
If you don’t have a green thumb, no worries. Artificial plants today often look just as lively and authentic as the real thing.
Organization as Decor
While it doesn’t seem like decor, organizational elements can really elevate your space. Wall organizers, free-standing wardrobes, or decorative wall hooks can double as functional storage with stylish accents—keeping your apartment clean, cozy, and inviting.
