As much as I’d love to own a home and change up every little thing I want, our circumstances cause us to rent at the moment. But just because we’re renting, doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice style! There are tons of ways to customize a rental and make bigger changes than just switching out decor. Add some color and pattern with temporary wallpaper! I’ve rounded up a few faves that could work with any budget!

3. Paintable Peel N Stick Removable Wallpaper – A great option for those who want a little more color and a little less pattern. Simply paint this on a wall to get that customized look!
