Just because you rent does not mean you have to live in a cookie cutter apartment. At Grant & Main, we believe your home should reflect your personality, even if it is a rental. With a few creative and affordable upgrades, you can personalize your space without damaging the property or risking your deposit.
Here are some of our favorite renter friendly DIY projects approved by our Detroit Property Management team.
Peel and Stick Backsplash
Add some style to your kitchen or bathroom with peel and stick backsplash tiles. They come in a variety of designs and are easy to remove when it is time to move out. Grant & Main tenants love this upgrade because it makes a big visual impact without permanent changes.
Removable Wallpaper or Wall Decals
Tired of blank white walls? Try adding removable wallpaper to an accent wall or use wall decals to give your space some character. Our Detroit Property Management team recommends testing a small area first to make sure removal is clean.
No Drill Shelving and Storage Solutions
Use tension rods, adhesive shelves, or over the door racks to create more storage without drilling holes. This works great for closets, pantries, and bathrooms. At Grant & Main, we often see renters maximize small spaces with clever vertical storage ideas.
Updated Cabinet Hardware
Swapping out cabinet knobs or drawer pulls is a simple and reversible project that can modernize your kitchen or bathroom instantly. Just be sure to keep the original hardware so you can reinstall it before moving out. This is one of many budget friendly ideas that Grant & Main’s residents love.
Layered Lighting
Brighten your home with stylish floor lamps, table lamps, or LED strip lights. Good lighting makes a space feel cozy and customized, especially in units where overhead lighting is limited. Our Detroit Property Management team encourages this upgrade because it adds comfort without creating damage.
When it comes to rental living, small improvements can make a big difference. At Grant & Main, we support tenants who want to make their space feel like home while following smart and respectful design choices. That is what great Detroit Property Management is all about.
