When you want to do something drastic when apartment decorating, you do have to get permission.
Some landlords are rather flexible if you want to paint or add new wallpaper and/or wallpaper border.
They may ask that you show them what you intend to do when decorating your apartment in this manner, and they will want to approve whatever colors and designs that you wish to use.
In order to get this approval, you may want to stick to less complicated things so that they are more likely to say it is fine with them.
If painting and hanging wallpaper, or even replacing floor coverings, are out when it comes to decorating, there are many things you can do that will be okay no matter what.
You can always redecorate your apartment with new furniture of all types.
Even small changes like new end tables or a new dining room set can work wonders when decorating any apartment.
Think about things that you don't have to attach to any surface or that might damage walls and floors.
You may want to add shelves, but this is something you should get permission for as well.
Apartment decorating is all about the details for most people.
You can change the color scheme of a room without painting.
This is possible because many landlords go with neutral colors like white or a very light beige.
This means that almost all colors that you choose for the various room accessories that you can get will not clash with the wall color.
Vases, plants, new throw pillows, artwork, and other smaller touches can go a long way in your interior design without breaking the budget or getting the landlord upset.
Think of things you won't have to reverse when you move out, and you will find those things to be okay.
