1 Repaint the walls

If there is old wallpaper on the walls, it is not necessary to re-glue them. It will be enough to paint them in a pleasant neutral color or, perhaps, an unusual, but light shade. This can be done even with simple wallpapers, without changing them to special ones for painting, the effect will not be much worse, but you will save more than one thousand rubles. Just do not apply a layer of primer, so as not to wet the surface too much.

2 Choose the same solutions for all rooms

Decided to repaint the walls? Great! The main thing is to do it in the whole apartment. Visually, housing will definitely benefit from this. The solution is applicable to both small studios and spacious treshkas. The same goes for gender. If you change the floor covering, then do the same everywhere. An exception may be, for example, the situation if the kitchen or hallway is tiled, which suits you, just try to select materials for other rooms that are combined with it.

3 Paint the doors

Outdated brown and red doors spoil the look of the apartment, but they can be of good quality. Do not try to replace them, good options are expensive, and cheap ones, unfortunately, immediately give themselves away. Repainting will also help, it’s easy to do with your own hands. Give preference to shades of white or other neutral colors that suit the surrounding interior.

Bonus: to make the result even more spectacular, paint the doors in the color of the walls. It is even easier to implement this if you cover the walls, too, by properly preparing the door surface, you can use the same paint for all surfaces. This is a budget alternative to flush-mounted doors.

4 Replace the baseboards

If the apartment has old-fashioned plastic baseboards in the color of the floor or just an indefinite brown shade, it is better to replace them with white or polyurethane. They are more expensive than plastic, but not so much that they refuse a stylish and high-quality result.

5 Add furniture in an unusual color

This solution will not violate the overall neutral look of the apartment, but will add stylish accents. It is not necessary to choose contrasting colors, it is better to support the overall palette with more saturated shades. It can be a colored armchair, a bright dining table, a kind of coffee table such details will help to avoid facelessness.

6 Find budget, but relevant solutions in the mass market

Designers advise to avoid too popular products of well-known brands. But during the budget renovation of an apartment for rent, on the contrary, they will help to make the interior stylish and visually expensive. IKEA modular kitchens that look stylish due to simple shapes and colors, analogues of trendy expensive things in common furniture stores, “instagrammed” furniture are budget, but almost win-win solutions.

7 Resort to inexpensive trends

Feel free to use trends, even if some of them seem too common. They still look relevant, but it will be inexpensive to implement them. For example, open shelves in the kitchen, a set of abstract posters in the living room or textured textiles in the bedroom. Fashionable finishing solutions are also inexpensive, for example, when only the wet area is tiled in the bathroom.

8 Hide the equipment

Household appliances on surfaces, especially in large quantities, spoil the view and create visual noise, but at the same time the built-in costs much more. The way out is just to hide it. For example, put the microwave in the kitchen cabinet, and close the washing machine with a curtain. The same technique with a curtain can be used to hide communications under the sink, if there is suddenly no kitchen facade.

9 Change lighting scenarios

If the rooms traditionally have only one common point of light in the form of a chandelier, it is better to add local sources. When dismantling the old trim, you can change the wiring and provide spots or suspensions. If such changes are not planned to add floor lamps, table lamps, sconces.

10 Create a feeling of light and air

During the renovation, it is important to assess the atmosphere of the apartment, what will it be like for future residents? And potential tenants who came to view? It is necessary to create a feeling of free space and sufficient light.
