Many residents are refreshing their nests with peelable wallpaper and new furniture.
Avon, Ohio, May 30, 2024 LONDON, Oct 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — It's normal for young people to feel anxious when moving into their first apartment, but it can also be an exciting time creating your own personal sanctuary. While most rental properties have restrictions in their leases about what tenants can and can't do when it comes to painting and decorating, there are still ways to infuse your space with your own unique aesthetic. According to new research from Duck,® The brand asked current and past renters how they make their temporary space feel like home.
According to the survey, 70% of renters say it's important for their living space to reflect their personal style and taste. While most residents say they're happy with the aesthetics of their rental property, respondents still complain about neutral paint colors and not being able to use nails or screws in the walls. Additionally, 86% of renters have damaged walls when trying to hang decorative items using hooks, and 62% said it took them two or three tries to successfully hang a decorative item.
“Personalizing a rental space, even if it's temporary, is a top priority for most people, but it can feel difficult when you're on a tight budget and trying to avoid damaging walls and surfaces.” Ashley Luke Sr. Product Manager for Duck Home Solutions® “Luckily, there are a variety of affordable, temporary solutions that allow tenants to easily refresh their nests,” says Brand.
