According to a Pew research study, more and more Americans are choosing to lease homes, with the number higher than it has been in 50 years. While some believe that leasing a home comes with restrictions for decorating, this is quite far from the truth! There are ways to make lease-friendly design choices without breaking the bank.
In response to this growing need to make any home a haven, Invitation Homes, the leading owner and operator of single-family homes for lease, is presenting its first “Make it Home” Show House at one of its homes in Atlanta. Top nationally recognized design experts have teamed up to design the house using budget-friendly tips and trends and will host design and décor workshops throughout the week.
WALL TO WALL: While a fresh coat of paint can certainly add a pop of color to a room, consider using temporary wallpaper instead to add texture or patterns that can give the room personality within your lease.
LIVE OUTDOORS: Maximize your living space by creating a warm and inviting outdoor oasis with unfettered access to beautiful weather without having to put on your shoes.
THINK OUTSIDE THE STORAGE BOX: Being organized is key when you live a leasing-lifestyle, look for unconventional items that are beautiful and functional to effectively store and organize your items.
MAKE IT A SMART HOME: From air-conditioners, thermostats, lights and garage doors, nearly everything in your home can be connected to the internet and be remotely controlled with a mobile device or smart speaker.
