Have you ever walked into a place and thought, "Who on earth chose this decor?" It's one thing to live with your own quirky choices, but another to inherit someone else's... let's call them 'unique' tastes. But when it's not your property because you are renting, we don’t want to upsetting your landlord and risking your deposit. So in this video, I am going to go over 14 common design annoyances I’ve observed in rental properties, that can be tackled in a way that doesn’t cost you your deposit and will give your aesthetic taste a break. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 intro 0:30 light for every zone 1:40 light switch, layout freedom 3:21 ugly flooring 4:04 bath/kitchen floor 4:49 kitchen surfaces 5:29 backsplash 5:56 elevate hardware 6:23 colour 7:33 personalise walls 8:17 minimise drilling 9:33 add privacy 10:06 electrical panel 10:28 cosy balcony 11:51 rental furniture
This video came out at the perfect time for me :) I’m moving into a temporary rental for 5 months, and it doesn’t make sense to do any big changes for such short period, yet it’s still long enough to try and make this place feel like home. Thanks XXX
Baixu, your channel is simply underrated. I binge your videos for ideas and just to pass the time. Everything-- from the choice in music, the visuals, and your relaxing voice, all help brainstorm ideas while browsing ikea and Amazon. 10/10, would recommend to family and friends.

Thank you so much for leaving this lovely comment--it's made my day! I feel encouraged to continue knowing that it's helping people, and I hope that more people can discover my content soon! ❤️
If you’re putting tiles for a backsplash on a piece of plywood, how would you then attach this to the wall w/out nails showing? Or would you attach the backing piece to the wall, then put tiles on that backing piece?
If it were me, I would glue the backing piece to the wall with the bare minimum amount of glue (perhaps 4 dots, 1 at each corner), so it stays in place, and when it comes time to remove it, I know exactly where to scrape it off the wall!
