Portable décor can help personalise a rental while preserving function and access.
Choose reversible changes carefully
Use furniture, rugs, lamps and artwork that suit the space. Check surfaces before using adhesives and obtain consent for alterations where required. NSW landlords cannot unreasonably refuse minor changes, but specific conditions can apply.
Leave equipment clear
Never hide heaters or air-conditioning equipment behind plants, curtains or furniture. Preserve airflow, service access and required safety clearances. Check plant suitability around children and animals, and secure tall furniture. A comfortable room should work safely in everyday use as well as look appealing.
