Rental Style, which doubles as a decor piece and handy design guide, shows readers how to decorate and organise small, rented spaces on a budget. The book will cover all home development stages from searching for a rental home to decorating and organising it.

Many people are reluctant to design their spaces due to renter restrictions, which leaves homes bland and boring. Rental Style will erase that unease and demonstrate that you can turn a rented space into a home using temporary, creative tricks that won't drive landlords crazy.

Rental Style will demonstrate how to 'renovate' a rental through clever design and budget-friendly tips on the following topics:

  • Finding a home
  • Items to invest in and not to invest in for the home
  • Items to switch out when moving into a rental
  • Myths most renters believe
  • Designing a narrow entryway
  • Install wainscoting in a rental
  • Tricking the eye into believing a space is larger than it is
  • Guidelines for decorating a coffee table
  • Styling your sofa
  • Incorporating seating into a small room
  • Decorating blank walls
  • Alternatives to using nails to hang art
  • And more!
