Transform Your Rental Property for Spring

Transform Your Rental Property for Spring

As spring rolls in and blesses us with warmer weather and brighter mornings, many tenants may have the urge to freshen up their homes and clear away the last traces of winter. When it comes to renting a property, decorating requires a few careful considerations, which is why it’s important to think outside the box and find ways to make impactful and deposit-friendly enhancements so that you can get the best out of your home, whatever the season. Keep reading to find out how to transform your rental property this spring…

Change pillows and bedding

With natural lighting flooding in, fluffy pillows and thick blankets can start to look out of place. Switching to light and airy fabrics will brighten up the space by allowing light to flow freely throughout the rooms. You can also complement your colour scheme with feature throw pillows and bright duvets which will play into the season’s vibrancy.

Hang artwork without nails

Whether it’s personal photographs, abstract art, or one-of-a-kind wall décor, creating a gallery wall is a great way to change the mood of a room and make any home feel more like your own. Rather than chipping the paintwork or creating holes with nails, you can mount wall décor to your heart’s content using damage-free hanging strips!

Go green

Houseplants and their soothing qualities can enhance any room and bring life to a space whilst also improving your general health and wellbeing. Spring is the best time for growth and freshness, so make the most of the season by adorning all your shelves and surfaces with bright flowers and leafy greens.

Make a statement

There are plenty of ways to personalise your rental property and add that ‘wow-factor’ without making any irreversible changes. If you find yourself wishing you could change your rental home’s carpets or flooring, a statement rug is a great way to brighten up the room, cover up any flaws or transform the entire look so that it’s better suited to your taste. You can also incorporate your favourite springtime patterns and colours by swapping out the curtains and adding some bright detachable chair seat pads to enhance what the property already has, rather than altering anything.

Spruce up outdoor space

If your home benefits from a garden or outdoor area, spring is the perfect time to get it looking its best! A few simple outdoor modifications might be all you need to prepare your home for any upcoming barbeques, Easter egg hunts or outdoor Sunday mornings. Place some tactile furniture in any sheltered areas to section off spots for entertaining and relaxing. Outdoor rugs are a great way to inject some colour into your garden without having to go to the trouble of planting and maintaining flowers, but if you do want to breathe a little extra life into your outdoor area, decorate all your favourite spots with potted plants, window boxes and pretty hanging baskets.

The team at Phillip Martin have been second to none in both the letting and sale of our property. Communication has been superb throughout and advice thoughtful and constructive. They listened with care and guided us through the process with a friendly approach. We would highly recommend. A particular mention to the professionalism and warmth of both Holly and Aaron.

Great service start to finish from everyone I dealt with. Calls always returned, regular updates along the way. Elowen in particular went the extra mile helping to find an independent removal company when mine could not make the revised date. Very friendly & professional I really feel they helped keep everything moving.

"

James and his team handled a complex sale (house and adjacent land owned by a third party) with great professionalism and innovation and determination to secure our sale. He was also cognisant of our time scales in that we had not secured an onward purchase or rental property. James is an extremely approachable agent who always worked with us to successfully achieve our goals and certainly went ‘the extra mile’ when required. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

"We were so pleased with all the correspondence with Phillip Martin and you all certainly delivered a very professional and friendly service. We would particularly like to thank you for all your personal correspondence. It went above and beyond and we are truly grateful.  As I mentioned before we have only ever bought two houses and they were both through Phillip Martin. We will certainly use you guys in the future!"

Very efficient and personable service helped us find a perfect place. Trustworthy and effective. Thank you.

I recently sold a property through Philip Martin. The agent used throughout was Sean. He was knowledgeable & well informed and happy to answer any questions or queries. Then as we negotiated on the sale and proceeded through to completion he was always very quick and precise in communicating any updates. Highly recommended.
