At Nuva Living, we know that each of our tenants is looking for a home that combines comfort, style, and flexibility, whether it’s for a mid-term rental or a long-term stay. Our spaces are designed to make that transition to a new environment easy, offering not just quality and functionality, but also a blank canvas where you can personalize your apartment with details that reflect your personality.
Today, we’re sharing the latest decoration trends to help you transform your rental into a cozy space by using accessories, colors, and decorative details that you can easily incorporate without altering the structure of your apartment.
1. The Power of Textiles: Cushions, Rugs, and Curtains to Personalize Your Space
Textiles are one of the fastest and easiest ways to give a personal touch to any space. Adding cushions in different textures and colors in the living room or bedroom can make a big difference, bringing warmth and style without needing major changes.
- Trending cushions: Cushions with geometric patterns, in earthy or neutral tones, and natural fabrics like linen or cotton are a must in this year's decor.
- Cozy rugs: Opt for rugs with subtle patterns or solid colors that add comfort without overwhelming the space.
- Light-filtering curtains: Choose light fabrics like linen or cotton to let natural light in and make the space feel bigger and more inviting.
Nuva Tip: Since textiles are mobile and easy to swap out, cushions and curtains are a perfect solution for tenants looking to refresh their space without making permanent changes.
2. Art and Wall Decor: Express Your Personal Style
One of the biggest challenges in decorating a rental apartment is how to personalize it without making permanent changes to the walls. The solution lies in art and wall decor. Nowadays, tenants can easily hang artwork without damaging the walls by using adhesive hooks or lightweight frames.
- Trending art: Opt for abstract illustrations, minimalistic landscapes, or line art for a chic and modern look.
- Gallery walls: Create an art gallery on an empty wall to add personality to your home. Play with different sizes and frame styles.
- Decorative mirrors: A large mirror not only serves a functional purpose but also creates the illusion of more space and adds brightness to the room.
Nuva Tip: If you’re staying in a mid-term rental, choose lightweight art and mirrors that can be easily moved from one place to another, ensuring you don’t jeopardize your security deposit.
3. On-Trend Colors That Transform Your Home Without Painting
Sometimes, a touch of color is all you need to make a rental apartment feel more like home, and you don’t need to paint the walls to achieve that. Incorporating trendy colors through decor and accessories can be a great solution.
- Trending colors: This year, warm neutrals like beige, terracotta, and soft grays stand out, along with accents in natural tones like olive green and smoky blue.
- Decorative accents: Bring color into your home through cushions, vases, throws, or artwork that contrasts with the neutral tones of the walls and furniture.
Nuva Tip: At Nuva Living, we believe in a design that always balances modernity with warmth. Use soft colors to create that sense of calm and well-being, perfect for long-term rentals.
4. Indoor Plants: Bringing Nature Into Your Apartment
Indoor plants are a trend that not only adds freshness and life but also purifies the air and improves the environment. Plants are perfect for tenants because they are easy to move and adapt to any space.
- Trending plants: Popular choices this year include Monstera, cacti, and succulents, which are ideal for those who don’t have much time to care for plants.
- Decorative planters: Choose stylish planters or woven baskets to add another level of style to your greenery.
Nuva Tip: In long-term rentals, plants are a great investment that will stay with you throughout your stay. Even if you move, you can easily take them with you.
5. Smart Lighting: Personalizing the Atmosphere
Lighting is key to creating a cozy and functional environment. For tenants, floor and table lamps are the best options, as you can take them with you wherever you go. Additionally, smart bulbs today allow you to adjust the lighting via an app, making it easy to control the atmosphere.
- Trending lamps: Minimalist designs, slim lines, and finishes in brass or wood are in style.
- Ambient lighting: Adding small LED lights or strips behind furniture or on shelves can give a modern touch and create a cozy atmosphere.
Nuva Tip: The flexibility of portable and adjustable lighting is perfect for both mid-term and long-term rentals. You can create a personalized ambiance without altering the structure of the apartment.
6. Details That Make the Difference: Vases, Candles, and Decorative Objects
Sometimes, it’s the little details that make a rental apartment feel like a true home. Adding vases, scented candles, and decorative objects in strategic spots can completely transform the space.
- Stylish vases: Choose handmade ceramic or recycled glass vases to complement fresh or dried flowers.
- Scented candles: Not only do they add a stylish touch, but they also transform the ambiance with relaxing aromas.
- Decorative objects: Opt for unique decor pieces like small sculptures, modern wall clocks, or stylish storage boxes.
Nuva Tip: At Nuva Living, we believe in the importance of details. Choose decorative pieces that speak to you and can easily be moved from one space to another, especially if you plan to stay for a mid-term rental.
