How To Turn A Rental Into A Warm And Inviting Home (+ Decorating Hacks)

No matter where we live, most of us want a home that is warm and inviting. However, living in a rental often comes with its own challenges, as there are limitations on what we can do to the space.

1. Lighting
2. Bring In Natural Elements (Plants)
3. Use Natural Materials
4. Add Texture
5. Hang Artwork & Mirror
6. Avoid Clutter
7. Fragrance & Scent

    Nice one bro.. new sub here.. I enjoyed watching your videos. I wonder if you are using a dynamic mic with your recording?

  13. Louis Dapan on May 19, 2023 at 12:54 pm

    This felt like a movie. When you shut off the music, gave me goosebumps.

  14. ThatTallGuy on May 19, 2023 at 12:54 pm

    My landlord just patched wall paper onto the parts that peeled off and painted it all nicotine stained white

  15. Chelsea Fama on May 19, 2023 at 12:55 pm

    Awesome content❤

  16. cheri paul on May 19, 2023 at 12:56 pm

    This was a beautiful video! Thank you!

  17. Daniel De Guzman on May 19, 2023 at 12:57 pm

    Hey Reynard! Awesome tips and such an aesthetically pleasing and informative video. I was wondering how you do your labeling for your containers (around 3:50). I was thinking of decanting my products and would like some nice, uniform labeling system~ ^^

  18. Creyole on May 19, 2023 at 12:58 pm

    I love when my space is absolutely quiet but every now and then I like to listen to some soothing jazz. The idea of the same music throughout my home is EXACTLY what I want to achieve. Please advise me on the best speakers to purchase. I don’t want to break the bank but I would like quality electronics. Thank you so much for your time and your videos.

  19. A Tyrika on May 19, 2023 at 12:58 pm

    Great. Crisp. Organized video. Love it. I definitely got a ton of 💡 ideas

  20. Natalie Hargrave on May 19, 2023 at 12:58 pm

    Finally took the plunge and bought a Philips Hue starter kit – I really like the idea of changing the temperature of the light for different points in the day. Your videos have got me so excited to move into my rental in a few weeks’ time. Thanks, Reynard.

  21. MustGame on May 19, 2023 at 12:59 pm

    Man!!! your video is so calming

  22. Colleen Jones on May 19, 2023 at 12:59 pm

    Before anyone makes $$$ be sure to prioritize your future elderly self and put a min. of 15 % of your annual income into retirement. These YouTubers sure are doing this!!!

  23. Edimil Cuello on May 19, 2023 at 1:01 pm

  29. Tiea on May 19, 2023 at 1:11 pm

    Amazing ideas. So glad to have the perspective of a man with great taste and ides

  30. Johnny Turner on May 19, 2023 at 1:12 pm

    Google homes can also play across multiple rooms. If you want a cheap setup buy some used models, they’re small, blend in to your environment and have good bass for their size.

  31. Phuong Vu on May 19, 2023 at 1:13 pm

    Paper towel holder. Who makes and where can I purchase please?

  32. Rojo on May 19, 2023 at 1:16 pm

  36. Samanta Rizzi on May 19, 2023 at 1:27 pm

    This is great, I personally I love the combination of glass and silver and I also love mirrored things to make my rental look bigger and they also reflect light in a really beautiful way 😃 But love your style as well! Great tips! 👍

  37. Coach Angela P. Wilson on May 19, 2023 at 1:27 pm

    Great content. Although the apt are small as surface, perhaps the property prices are a real soar to many pockets. Shame that property market is not in service of people but rather opportunists schmucks because is no integrity in this so called bussiness and like many others.
