Customize a Short-Term Rental to Make it Your Own

Furnished, short-term rentals are a convenient, comfortable solution for business travelers on an extended stay or employees relocating to a new area. Whether renting for a few weeks or a few months, short-term rentals provide a more personal, private, and cost-efficient option than hotels. It can be difficult, though, to reflect your own style and taste in an apartment that comes fully furnished. To make your temporary apartment feel more like a home, try these simple tips and tricks:

Bring Your Own Photos

No matter how tasteful the artwork in a furnished apartment, nothing makes you feel more at home than easy personal touches like framed photos. Create a gallery on a table or bookshelf, or spread the pictures out throughout the space so you’ll always have familiar faces around, even far from home.

Rent Your Favorite Art

Just as your apartment can be a short-term rental, so can your art! If you don’t love the pieces provided, temporarily replace them with something a bit more to your taste. Online art rental services are an innovative way to surround yourself with pieces you love, without the long-term obligation. When it’s time to move out, simply send the pieces back without hassle.

Buy Yourself Flowers

A vase of your favorite fresh flowers is a simple way to make any space feel more comfortable and cozy, and adds a personalized pop of color to your surroundings. Consider setting up a weekly delivery from a local florist to keep things fresh.

Move Things Around

Just because an apartment comes furnished doesn’t mean you can’t rearrange the furniture into a configuration that’s a little more your style! Maybe you prefer your bed a little closer to the window, or the TV against a different wall. Play around a bit to see what’s most comfortable for you.

Add in Touches of Home

We’re always at our most comfortable and relaxed when surrounded by familiar things. If possible, bring a few things from home (or buy duplicates locally) to make your temporary home a little less impersonal. You’ll sleep better on your own pillows, and the same candles you use at home will help your senses associate your apartment with comfort and relaxation.
