7 tips to successfully improve the inside of a home:

1. We all prefer bright and airy apartments so that our recommendation is to invest in good illumination of the space, especially in key areas such as the kitchen or living room, and not crowding them with too much furniture and decorations without a obvious utility, because it darkens the room, creating a real discomfort.

2. As far as finishes are concerned, we offer you a neutral and warm chroma , avoiding strident or painful colors. For walls, the best choice is the washable, easy-to-apply and later-cleansed lime available in a wide variety of shades and textures (shiny, matte, metallic, etc.). Importantly, keep a lime reserve or even the manufacturer’s code for any subsequent repairs. Wallpaper may also be an alternative to certain walls, but it should be kept in mind that it will be harder to repair and maintain, and the chosen model may not be in the likeness of a potential tenant.

3. If you have an old apartment in which the original mosaic still exists, with worn or even parquet flooring, the easiest option is to choose a carpet or PVC carpet , such as those found in areas with heavy traffic, easy to mount over what already exists, without too much cost. Also, if the existing flooring is at the same level and if the height of the door fitting allows, even with relatively low costs and mounting speed, there is also the variant of laminate flooring, currently available in a wide variety of textures, models and colors.

4. Cleanliness is another key issue for the success of renting an apartment, both as a general aspect and as a possibility of subsequent maintenance. Thus, our recommendation is to use easy-care, easy-to-clean, easy-to-clean materials that are not very demanding for normal domestic use, with a high degree of wear and tear, . Also, do not underestimate the importance of the appearance of the apartment at the moment of its viewing by potential tenants. If necessary, you have the option to call for professional cleaning services at the end of the day.

5. Another decision to be weighed carefully is to furnish the apartment . If you opt for expensive, high quality furniture, you will invest a higher amount of money, but it is possible to generate a higher rental price than similar apartments like positioning and surface. However, the natural degradation of the furniture after use has to be taken into account, sometimes more accelerated than if the apartment had been inhabited by you, and, implicitly, the devaluation of these pieces.The opposite situation is the choice of very cheap, obviously of a lower quality furniture, which initially may mean a financial economy, but it will require its replacement in part or all more often than in the case of a better quality furniture. Therefore, our general recommendation is to opt for a balanced price-quality compromise, which will prove to be the most cost-effective rental solution in the long run.

6. Give fresh and fresh air to the home, whether it’s a newly built apartment or an old one. It can change the whole environment with some key details that do not require very expensive investments. For example, you can choose modern storage and organizing facilities, new rugs in bright and attractive colors, and matching lighting fittings to the ambience you want to create, some canvas paintings, a wall clock, maybe even and decorative pillows and new curtains if the budget allows you. And if you are a Do It Yourself follower, you can try refurbishing existing doors or pieces of furniture to give them a fresh, refreshed look.

7. Not having a constant number of people who will rent the apartment over time, it is good to consider choosing versatile furniture, easily optimized according to the momentary needs. A foldable sofa in the living room, folding chairs, easy to store when not useful, along with an expandable table, roller and storage stools, as well as any other multi-function, but low-end furniture, will help you to give your space the ability to easily reconfigure it from a functional point of view.
