Repair will help to more profitable to rent an apartment for rent and raise its attractiveness in the eyes of the tenants. Yes, and tenants sometimes have their own clean up the "dead" housing. We have gathered designers advice on how to do this with minimal cost and time budget.

Get rid of excess

From old furniture and personal belongings in the apartment owners should get rid of. Sometimes it even rent cell stock. But by agreement of the parties, and furniture can be restored, for example, drag the Soviet chairs and tables, paint desk or dresser.

Choose a neutral style

There is hardly many who want to rent an apartment with a classic interior with gilded monograms or in the style of Provence with the wallpaper in the flower and carved furniture. Usually popular neutral modern or Scandinavian interiors. If you rent a furnished apartment, it is precisely these styles and should adhere to.

Decide on a color scheme

Usually the room, south-facing, advise a little "cool" with the cool colors of the walls. North room, on the contrary, made warmer by means of solar colors. But in any case, the colors should be neutral. Ideal - a simple white or shades of gray and beige.

At registration of apartments to rent designers usually use paint or wallpaper on the walls. More expensive and less wear-resistant coating may not withstand multiple tenants. Paintable wallpaper are good that they can be quickly and fiscal update, even before moving each new tenant.

Check the strength of the floor covering

If you plan to repair from the ground up, the designers are usually advised to lay on the floor laminate industrial-grade durability. But if there is already a old parquet floor, it is possible not only to cover the varnish, but also just paint. If the repair is not valid, then the tenants may lay linoleum or vinyl flooring directly on top of the existing one.

Update your bathroom

Usually this part of the apartment is especially the running as a full-fledged costly repairs. But within a modest budget, you can update the tile grout, paint the walls and ceilings. If you want, you can even restore the coating bath.

Beforehand think about the decor

Drill the wall in a rented apartment a few risk, and alternative mounting options do not always bear the weight. Therefore it is necessary to fix in advance the walls of hooks and frames with simple posters that can be easily replaced with your own decor. The same applies to the shelves for books and decor - it is better to hang immediately.

Pay attention to the little things

New listings on renting similar to each other. Apartments faceless, and it's a good thing - the new tenants will be able to bring the interior of something different. But sometimes stands still add comfort by means of cushions and blankets, light curtains on the windows, mirrors. All this will be a nice bonus for the future tenants.
