How can I decorate this rental house?

My hubby and I are moving into rental accommodation for 6 months. We've chosen a house, purely based on location and size but the decor is dreadful! The wallpaper is the worst thing. We're not allowed to paint/hand pictures etc. Although we'll only be there for 6 months, I'd like to be able to walk around the house without getting a headache. Any suggestions?

Decorating a student's room (rental)
Comments (1)Wow, student digs have changed since my uni days! Plants always liven up a space and make it healthier too, so it's a great idea to have some in your home. Are you allowed to paint? If not you're on the right lines in your sleeping area, choosing a few coordinating items to develop a colour scheme. My rooms have each started with one item I love - a painting, a cushion, anything really. Then I've picked a colour from it to take the theme onwards. For example, in my lounge I have a collection of antique bird prints, some of which have a pastel green in them, and the fireplace has exposed pinkish brickwork. The walls are painted a slightly stronger shade of green, my sofa and chairs are a deep green velvet, and I've selected cushions with a similar pastel green and pinkish colours in the design to link with the prints and the brickwork. While nothing matches, it all harmonises. While that is a far cry from your taste, the idea might give you a starting point. It might sound complicated, but it really isn't - just start with one thing you love and it will grow from there. Perhaps a trip to an art shop for a great picture might give you a burst of inspiration....See MoreI need advice on how to use this hallway space in my rental.
Comments (13)Hi I agree it is a bit big to be called a hallway, however, on either side of it I have a snug with lots of book shelves and my favourite books (first photo) and open fire and a sitting room again with an open fire. The kitchen is small and I have put an Ikea Island in the middle of it as a table would not fit, I also have a 'dining room' where our kitchen table lives, so we don't have much furniture left for our 'hallway'. My sofa is old and is going. But I leave the front big wood door open during the day and the glass porch door closed so I get light through this room, it is lovely in the morning, very bright and I would like to use it more. It just looks like a corridor at the moment. I also have a lovely easel which I would love to put in this area so I might be drawn to do some art.
