Make Your Bed the Star
If you can’t make any significant changes to your rental’s walls or flooring, then your furniture is going to be the big story in the room and will determine the style.
Give your bed the starring role of the scheme and pick a trendy design that’s robust and durable. It’s also helpful to choose a bed frame that’s easy to build, making life simple when it comes to moving home. Top it with a super-cosy and breathable mattress that encourages airflow, so your sleep zone stays cool and comfortable.
Inject interest with small styling touches. To bring more focus to the bed, style up each side with eye-catching vignettes. A bedside table makes the ideal surface for a houseplant, some pretty candles and a funky lamp, while a shapely chair can also hold a pile of interesting books or magazines. The key is to have fun and play around with quirky displays.

Add Beautiful Bedding
To top off your statement bed frame and comfy mattress, complete the elegant set-up with luxury bed linen and plush pillows. Not only will your wonderfully fluffy bed be ready and waiting for you to sink into at the end of a long day, but it will inject your room with boutique hotel appeal. Throw in some elegant accessories and you’ll wake up to five-star decadence every day.
Add layers of luxury for some damage-free decorating. One of the simplest ways of adding interest to a rental home without forfeiting your bond is by introducing layers of colourful and tactile textures on the floor and over the furniture.
Use this temporary way of decorating to ensure your bedroom is strewn with piles of sumptuous throws and sleep-inducing textures, such as chunky wool and soft velvet. And the best bit about this home-for-now look is that that you can take it all with you when you move.

Create Your Own ‘Me Time’ Sanctuary
Consider your bedroom as more than just a sleep zone and you’ll expand its potential. In fact, why not treat it as an all-encompassing sanctuary where you can escape to for study, working, or simply just chilling out?
With a bit of planning and a few well-thought out extras, such as a compact sofa for a reading nook or a shelf and mirror for a make-up station, you can create a space that meets all your needs. So, take a step back and take time to plan your rental bedroom. You may be surprised at what you can squeeze in.
Treat it as your own self-contained studio room. If you’re in a shared house you’ll know all too well the importance of your own space, so treating your bedroom like a ‘studio’ apartment with a separate seating area, will give you a sense of total independence for when you really need it. Try using a rug to define a separate chill-out area in the room, or maybe an open shelving unit that can act as a room divider between the bed and the seating spot.

Throw in Your Personality
If you’re lucky enough to have space in your bedroom for seating, and even luckier to have a few open shelves, then take this opportunity to show off your unique style with a display of your favourite keepsakes.
Line up colour coded books, pop in hand-crafted ceramics and add a few framed prints propped up against the wall for an attention-grabbing curated display. Then, finish off the look with a few lush houseplants and you’ll have a homely touch all round.
Make an impact with a striking gallery wall. Another simple but effective styling idea that adds instant character to plain spaces is a gallery wall of framed prints and photos. What’s more, if you use Velcro wall stickers, you can rearrange and build the display without leaving any marks.
