I transformed my apartment with my renter-friendly hack – my $16 Amazon buy is easy to install without damaging the wall
A RENTER has spilled the beans on their home decorating advice that won’t put a security deposit at stake.
They said that they nabbed the $16 game-changer from Amazon.
Redditor Brettlikespants asked for advice on renter-friendly decor in a post to the social media platform.
He issued a call for guidance on “genuinely renter-friendly hacks.”
“I’ve always been interested in the ‘peel and stick’ concept, but I feel like I see a lot of content about how it can be more damaging than you’d think when renting,” he said.
“Are there brands or methods that work better? Any other easily-reversible design hacks for rentals?
“I’m planning on moving in the next couple months, but don’t yet have a place lined up.
“It took me about two years to really decorate my current place, but it’s just rugs, wall decor, plants, et cetera.”
GET THAT DEPOSIT
Another Redditor weighed in with their renter-friendly decorating advice.
“Check out No No Brackets,” they replied.
“They are curtain rod mounts that don’t require any installation other than placing them on your existing blinds, so very renter friendly.
“It attaches to the railing already in place for the blinds.
“I have them on a few windows as well as over my sliding door area.”
However, the Redditor pointed out that the brackets do come with a potential con.
“Downside is if you want your curtains higher/wider than the window itself you’re out of luck,” they said.
“But otherwise, I think they’re a neat solution.”
The renter-friendly No No Brackets are available on Amazon, $15.95.
RAVE REVIEWS
Amazon shoppers also sang their praises for the renter-friendly solution.
“Makes hanging up curtains to cover ugly, vertical blinds a breeze,” one wrote.
“Consider getting a third piece for the middle of the rod.”
“I didn’t want to drill holes into the walls because my windows are very tall and it has existing blinds so the curtains would stick awkwardly to them with normal curtains,” another said.
“This fits perfectly on top of the blinds system and is very sturdy. Very easy and quick to attach.”
