Mubeen Arshad, interior designer:

- Usually, the walls in a rented house leave much to be wanted - declined and not interesting. You can repaint them to your desire if the landlord permits. Or hang in a prominent place a large poster with your favorite plot. Use stickers that can be easily removed without leaving any residue.

To match the colors of the plot on the poster (no more than 2-3 colors), choose bright pillowcases on pillows, you can even sew them yourself. Lay them out on a sofa or bed, add a blanket, rug. All this will add warmth! You can also displace the master decorations with those that match the color of the new decor elements.

You can also ask your friends some things from the cottage, for example, a table and unnecessary old chairs, and repaint them yourself in bright colors. Thus, an item can be transformed beyond recognition.
