- Investing in quality bedroom furniture is wise for renters as
it can easily transition to future living spaces.
- Covering 80% of your floors with plush rugs and using felt rug
pads can significantly reduce noise in apartments.
- Using high-wattage incandescent bulbs and white or ivory
lampshades can effectively brighten a room, even in rentals.
