Quintain Living, the management company responsible for over 3,390 apartments in Wembley Park, has shared insights into the most popular ways residents personalise their rental spaces.
According to Quintain Living, residents often use simple and affordable methods to make their apartments feel more like home. The top five most popular personal touches include:
- Hanging Pictures
The use of temporary adhesive strips has allowed renters to decorate their walls with pictures without causing damage. This method offers flexibility as artwork can be moved around to suit changing moods. - Putting Up Shelves
Shelves are being embraced in various forms, from floating shelves to statement metal units, allowing residents to add both functionality and style to their spaces. - Adding Greenery
Residents are bringing nature indoors by adding plants, both inside their apartments and on balconies. This trend has even influenced the design of new developments like Repton Gardens, where biophilic elements are incorporated extensively. - Using Decorative Stickers
Wall stickers, which can be easily applied and removed without leaving a trace, provide an accessible way for renters to add personal flair to their homes. - Laying Down Rugs
Rugs are a popular choice for altering the look and feel of a room. With a wide variety of shapes, designs, and materials available, renters can find the perfect rug to suit their style.
“When you rent somewhere, it’s important to bring your own sense of panache to the property,” says Danielle Bayless, Chief Operating Officer at Quintain Living.
“Doing so is part of what turns a rental property into a home. We love how creative our residents are when it comes to personalising their apartments; all we ask is that the properties are returned to their original state at the end of a tenancy.”
