Home renovation shows are hot right now, but you don’t need TV decorators to turn your space into the home of your dreams. In fact, you don’t even need to spend much money. Keep your home or apartment looking fresh with these cheap, damage-free ways to decorate. They’re perfect for renters and students!

#1: Rearrange your furniture.

You don’t need anything for this hack except a little bit of creativity! By rearranging the furniture you already have, you can completely transform your space. Take a look at the pieces you already have and brainstorm a new arrangement. Consider bringing pieces out from against the wall to break up larger rooms into smaller, functional zones. Use Pinterest to get inspired!

#2: Add some color with plants and flowers.

A little bit of color and life can make a drab room feel warm and welcoming. Grab some fresh flowers next time you’re at the grocery store or get a potted plant from a local nursery. If you don’t have much of a green thumb, purchase some realistic-looking fake plants from a craft store. Add a vase to a coffee table, a bookshelf, a nightstand, the mantle… greenery looks good anywhere and everywhere!

#3: Upgrade your drawer knobs and pulls.

Give the furniture you already have a facelift by popping on some fun, colorful knobs! You can purchase all types of decorative knobs online, and most are only a few bucks. Swap out the knobs on your dresser and nightstand for an instant pop of color.

#4: Organize your bookshelf by color.

If you have a stuffed bookshelf, you can instantly spruce it up just by organizing your books by the color of their spines. Group all the red books together, then orange, and so on. Instantly, you’ll have a rainbow of books that will grab any guest’s attention!

#5: Hang curtains or tapestries.

Nothing cozies up a space more than decorating blank walls. Purchase some Command Strips to ensure you don’t damage your walls when you put up and take down your decorations. Hang curtains over your windows and display colorful tapestries on the wall. Hang up scarves, purses, ties, and other accessories with Command Strip hooks to add color to your wall and functional wall storage!
