Adding Color to Your Apartment Without Painting

When renting an apartment in Rolla, you don't always have the luxury of making aesthetic changes to your apartment. One of the big changes that renters often want to make is painting the walls. The reason that many landlords and property managers don't allow for renters to paint is because it can be very costly to paint the walls back to a neutral color once a renter has moved out. If a renter only resides in an apartment for 6 months, that cost doubles for the year.

So, most of the time, it's part of the leasing agreement that renters are not permitted to paint without the consent of the landlord, and if they're granted permission, the color must be pre-approved. So, if you're looking for ways to add a pop of color without painting, we at The Lodges at Rolla are sharing with you some ideas to add color to your apartment!


The Living Room
If you’re looking to add color to your living room, add a colorful lamp or two! If you have another bright piece of furniture like a printed chair, colorful couch or even just bright throw pillows, coordinating the colors with some large, brightly hued lamps will make all the colors pop and shine. Use colorful tapestry or patterned throw pillows to add a quick splash of color to your living room. A throw rug is an easy way to add fun design or color to any room.

The Kitchen
Bright appliances like toasters and stand-mixers will be a kitchen splash you won’t need to clean up. Accessorize with colorful tableware and coordinating wall art and you’ll cook up a feast for the eyes that will satisfy even the most color-hungry renter.

The Bathroom
Coordinate the color in your bathroom by choosing a bright, patterned shower curtain and centering accessories like towels, bathmats and even toothbrush holders around the curtain’s best colors. It will give you a clean color palette in the small space, and you’ll actually be able to use everything you coordinate with.

The Bedroom
One of the easiest ways to pull some color into you bedroom is to find colorful bedding. Your bed is the centerpiece of this room, so it only makes sense that you'd start there to create a vibrant setting. Switching up bland pillows and comforters with something eye-catching and bright will immediately create a colorful focal point. Adding in coordinating accessories like lamps, drapes and wall art will quadruple the color quotient, making your bedroom a color hot spot in your apartment.
