How to Decorate an Apartment for Rent: 5 Options

How to decorate an apartment where tenants have different preferences? Take a look at how Russian designers solve this task.

Colorful Apartment for Airbnb Rental

Usually, designers try to make the interior of a rental apartment neutral, but designer Svetlana Khabeева chose a bolder approach. The color palette turned out to be un boring: pink, yellow and blue shades of varying saturation.

This setup suits tenants who are tired of monochrome and aren't afraid to use color in interior design. With the help of decor and textiles, they can add new accents and adjust the setting to their taste.

Small Studio for Rent with Stylish Finish

Designer Alexandra Yakusheva, on the other hand, focused not on color but on functionality. Since the area is small, storage solutions were planned first. Built-in furniture was used for this purpose – it was manufactured according to the designer's sketches.

Neutral colors were chosen for finishing: walls were painted white and high baseboards were added to visually raise low ceilings. Light-colored walls were complemented with gray tones and warm wood.

Unusual Apartment for Airbnb Rental

This studio is another example of how a rental apartment can be vibrant. The owner loves ballet and chose this theme for decoration. The kitchen was partially painted in a bright turquoise color, even the ceiling was colored. However, the bedroom-living room became neutral with bold accents. The walls were decorated with photos of ballet artists and theatrical posters – it turned out interesting and cozy.

Trash in St. Petersburg with Unusual Color Palette

To increase the number of rooms in the apartment, designers at El Born Studio reconfigured the layout: moved the kitchen to the place of the bathroom and combined it with the living room. The color palette was chosen unusual: “boring” gray shades were combined with bright colors – coral, yellow, pink. These colors create a mood and bring sunshine to the interior, which is so lacking in St. Petersburg.

Functionality was also not forgotten: storage for personal items was provided by IKEA furniture – a practical and convenient option.
