INTERIOR DESIGN | Inexpensive Decorating HACKS to Get the MOST Out of Your Rental

[@kimberlynewsom9876]

I love the idea of a series on the channel helping renters make their spaces beautiful! And as far as resolutions go mine this year is to fear less so that I can live more.

[@Lorraine3033]

Was going to subscribe but didn't. Couldn't take the "you guys" another second when just "you" would have worked.

[@Ipickthisone]

We purchased our home 3 years ago and after getting pregnant immediately after moving in we are just getting around to doing some updates. These are great for homeowners who do not have an unlimited budget

[@amybohnen86]

I completely agree!!!

[@angelageikowski8849]

Great video but another tip is if you don’t know the color of the walls you can scrape a tiny sample about the side of a dime and take that paint chip to home depo or I think any hardware store and they put in in a machine and color match it for you 👍

[@sharrah.stevens]

Wow!! I did not know this! What a great tip!!

[@angelageikowski8849]

Live Your Style - The Kinwoven Home yes it has been very helpful for us!

[@tamara8349]

I tried that once and they weren't able to match it for me. :(

[@angelageikowski8849]

Tamara yeah I don’t think it works if you maybe have an older house with older paint.In which case I’d just start over lol 😆

[@skylineranches]

That’s an awesome tip!

[@lannawolf1864]

"2020 is gonna be a GREAT year!" How naive we all were...

[@az7726]

haha right?

[@nathalieheath5693]

😂😂🤣🤣

[@snaptrap723]

Them damn riots make this year even worse 🙄

[@kj9050]

It´s just keeps getting worse...

[@stephaniedabrowski8201]

To be fair, she did say on KZbin - and KZbin is more popular than ever due to quarantines.

[@rhondawilliams9449]

Negotiating video sounds like an excellent plan. It would be a great learning tool for renters all over the country.

[@soniasteckle5548]

You are so correct about renting and elevating the “space” to make it more desirable. All of your tips, tricks and ideas are so awesome! We had to rent for several years and had a fantastic landlord. We rented directly through him, so we were able to negotiate the month cost and he knew we kept everything clean and cared for.

[@LisaS1517]

I aim to enjoy every day and seriously not sweat the small stuff. Getting upset never helps so really focusing on how I react to life.....so far, so good! :)

[@cassieussery6141]

I LOVE this video! We aren’t even renting but I just enjoyed watching and the ideas you have. This is good even for first time home buyers who don’t have a ton of money. Thanks for sharing!

[@RaisingLittleLights]

Love these ideas! We actually negotiated our rent before moving in to our current rental house and pay $200 less per month just because we asked! My husband and I have lived in rentals for the past 4 years and I'm all about decorating/updating our rental space on a budget. Some of these hacks are a little spendy for what we can afford but I love the spray painting the hardware hack and using putty to cover holes/painting. We've done both of those things and our rental already looks SO much better!

[@mollysexton7171]

Just wanna say, I am not that active on youtube and rarely comment or subscribe to people. This video was so helpful with your real life examples and you are so animated and adorable!!

[@jeanvignes]

Small word to the wise: I one got permission to fix up a rental. After spending every weekend for months taking a hundred hooks and nails out of the walls, spackling the holes, cleaning, priming, and painting, we did a walkthrough with landlady, who (I swear this is true!) said, “This is beautiful. Now you know I’m going to have to raise the rent. This is a much more valuable property now.” I of course couldn’t afford the rent hike, moved out, and found out later that she rented it for a pittance to her daughter! Lesson learned: if it’s not in writing you have NO legal right to enjoy the fruits of your labor on someone else’s property!!! Oh, did I mention that the bathroom was literally neon orange when we moved in and a soft, light, buttery yellow with white trim when I was done? Everyone thought I should repaint it neon orange on the way out, but that would have been vandalism and illegal. Don’t vandalize, just learn your lesson and move on to saving for your own home!

[@thatdundonedunnit7280]

Jean Vignes wow that’s terrible

[@GabriellaLascano]

That’s disgusting that she did that. Hoping for her karma ASAP

[@sadiyakhan7027]

The floor tiles work amazingly well!! I have them in my kitchen and it totally transformed the look.

[@trishguerrero9312]

Sadiya Khan do you have a link or anything to reference? (:

[@laceymelton6980]

Yes! The floor Pop tiles are so easy and super fun! I went with a bold style in our laundry room and I love it!

[@The_family_chan]

Just started following you! Love these tips!! How hard was it to apply the contact paper to the countertops? Would love to try this idea, to cover up my blue laminate counters!

[@Zil_Senczy]

Not sure if you would have any interest but it would be really cool if subscribers could submit a challenge in there home with pictures and you do a post on ways to tackle it. I know I have a few things I am just stumped on.

[@klarenejay]

I’m happy you are backk

[@themorrisfam8331]

I want those tall shelves behind your couch, they are so beautiful!

[@stephaniekennedy9256]

Great tips!! I also change out the toilet seats in my rentals. Small cost for a clean seat.

[@melissajordan7729]

Me 2!!

[@claudiashairstudioellicottcity]

Thank you I’m happy you are back , love your videos

[@sandralogsdon3282]

You make the contact paper on the counter top look really easy, Sharrah. I just had my "Nailed It" moment with it. :(

[@jessiekarach]

Yasss The Kinwoven Home is back!! Can't wait to see the next Becoming Kinwoven episode too :D

[@melissahall7009]

Just watching your videos makes me miss San Diego/Encinitas so bad 😭. We moved to Austin & it is a great place, but just miss the San Diego vibe so much... the ocean, the landscape there. Can’t wait to see when you all visit Charleston. Love these tips! ❤️

[@kellyw.3516]

I think creating a series involving negotiations and updates would be wonderful!

[@elia5995]

What kind of spray paint do you use for the kitchen handles? How do you keep it from chipping off with time?

[@sonyamilamrollins6698]

Yay! You are back, and for renters. That's me, a renter! My goal for 2020 is to have a few months of "NO SPEND" to save money. Then spend it on decorating my apartment.

[@exiromero7597]

I love the bucksplash nice work thanks for the tips 👍💕

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Command strips damaged my wall. The heat in the apartment affected them and when it came time to remove them, they ripped the paint off as well. Never again. I’m just putting holes and will deal with it later Magic erasers are also NOT good on flat paint. It leaves visible marks. Only on semi gloss does it work well

[@brinselyseven5530]

Yes! I have the same problem with both. The command strips in my son’s room ripped the paint off. So now II have to match the paint 😕 We have the flattest paint on earth on our walls. If you look at them, they stain, so erasers are not an option. Water and mild soap may help. With kids, though, it can be a losing battle. I finally told them, that the walls were lava 😂

[@kate.cousteils]

Also, the Scotch brand velcro tape will damage your walls (learned the hard way).

[@sandraking512]

Just found your channel and I love it! Thanks for all of the great tips. My resolution is to become more purposeful and mindful in all areas of my life.

[@q.t.shelli3585]

I have used the sticky floor tiles and they have been there for about 15years. I put a sub floor down to make sure it was an even surface area, and just went to town. With that, make sure you do buy extra because I did replace a "high traffic" area square[a few months ago]. I also used a swiffer wet jet/cleaner and whatever cleaner on hand. And like I said it's been about 15 years on this floor☺👍👍

[@j-ru5527]

YAYYYYY!!!!! SHARRAH IS BACK!!!!! You have been SO MISSED!!!!!🙌🙌🙌

[@andreanicole2006]

Yay! You're back! Hope you had a great holiday, looking forward to what you bring us this year.

[@ToyaTM76]

I love your videos for rentals. I have question. What is your suggestion for adding drawer pulls and cabinet handles to doors and drawers that do not have them?

[@emailbrandik]

I used the peel and stick tile for the bottom of my bathroom cabinet that had stained and were gross looking. Love it! I also used a peel and stick wood planks in my laundry room that was just the concept slab and it was super easy to do and looks like wood!

[@angiemiranda7769]

Ny resolutions are to save money and learn how to use all of my power tools that I’ve bought, and to learn to build a few pieces of furniture that I really want to learn to make. Also, I’m Angie from Texas and I just came across your channel and subscribed 😊

[@meia50]

Love love love you ...you and your mom are the bomb!

[@ToniAnnBarandon]

Home Depot can exact color match any paint color if you bring them a quarter sized piece from your wall. Since you're re-painting anyway, you can chip a piece off to bring in to the store.

[@rebeccalitardo6250]

Hi, new to your channel. Came across it well searching for decorating a rental. Watched your episode on design style. When will you post for Traditional Style. I'm a mixture of traditional and farmhouse. Trying to combine both at this time. Love your channel so far.

[@Ipickthisone]

Does the fixture in the kitchen put off enough light? I’m still searching for light fixtures for our eat in kitchen. I need two of something in that space and everything is very farmhouse but I love your lighting and would love to go with something similar but need a bright light! We only have a deck door in the kitchen so it can be very dark.

[@Pineapple-ob2kb]

I think you are absolutely adorable ❤️ I love your style! Thank you these ideas are awesome!!! Can’t wait to try them Specially the marble contact paper and the backsplash paper that you used great idea they look very pretty in your space

[@tamara8349]

Great tips! I've definitely used the magic erasers quite a bit and also had to use the wall patching kit when my puppy chewed a hole in a wall... yikes! It worked like a charm though!

[@ChazEvansdale]

Step 1 - Ask for lower rent Step 2 - Use the money you saved on rent to style your home! That's it, Win/Win situation!

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Yay!!!! 800K subbies. You deserve it and many more...on your way to 1 million ❤💚💜💙💛

[@getgellednailsbyamychamber9051]

Tfs! More videos like this would be amazing for us renters. Thanks for all the tips😊

[@TerryElisabeth]

I'm doing all the same things in our kitchen in our studio! I was inspired when you showed your kitchen transformation ... and lol I am painting the handles without asking either (shhhhh) 😁 I'm so excited for all the things with yours and your mom's business ❤❤❤

[@TylerCStevens]

2020!! Wohooo! My resolution is to make your dreams come true 💁🏻‍♂️

I'm so excited about the new knitwear line!

[@franshaddox3263]

If you don’t have Nashville on your tour list, you should check it out. Great city.

[@wandarichardson4213]

Peel and stick linoleum tiles work well👌

[@kierstenmccall8526]

I’ve always been so weary about putting a rug on the carpet, but my house is covered in this ugly green carpet, so I may just have to get a big ass rug and try to conceal it!! Thanks Sharrah!!

[@ChazEvansdale]

Most people break their resolutions, so I don't have any... I do however plan to lose 20+ lbs in 2020. I already lost 10-15 lbs last year on the diet I created and I started it in late September so 20 or more lbs this year seems totally doable!

[@theglammam7028]

Yes l would love a series! I used to love watching For Rent on HGTV and I learned so much from the show. Please do it.

[@loyaltyfamily1963]

Love ur videos !!

[@mitzigtz2449]

I'd love to see a waterproof floor tile. Or even shower waterproof wall paper! Loved the ideas!

[@julieprj9225]

Can you show me how to take off the laminate and tiles without leaving residue because my experience is that it does leave a sticky residue.

[@heatherlockhart7662]

Sharrah these ideas a great! I love the home tool kit bag. Is that a kinwoven tool bag? I didn't see it in the link you provided for the bags. Thank you for always sharing wonderful ideas.

[@thatdundonedunnit7280]

I’d love to see you go negotiate with landlords. We’re actually about to buy a house but we’ve always been allowed to paint

[@Passionfruitpebbles]

Are the brackets for the shelves behind you nailed through the sticker backsplash ?

[@beverleysheridan7904]

I like your videos. I hope you carry on alone as well as the work with your Mum.

[@CelinaAnderson1227]

Yes please I am pregnant with a 5 year old and my little family are seriously looking for an affordable place to rent while we find our forever home. My husband is a home builder /general contractor so maybe that’ll be a plus. Do a series or come out and help us in Michigan 😬

[@annyg1757]

Fabulous ideas❣️😊

[@elizabethwhiting9389]

No resolutions here, just looking to make small lifestyle changes but know that there will be setbacks. It's easy to give up on a New Year resolution after a setback, but small changes take time. We'd love a series on rental upgrades! We live in the Boston area ;-)

[@jacquelinelun4049]

My husband starts to stop me from watching you and Rebecca Robeson Kinwoven Channel because I keep doing makeovers and it's actually not cheap. I just realise I spent a $10000 USD last year on makeovers and it's such a joy and my husband said...hey that's enough!!!!! No more rooms to renovate and don't swap out anymore furnitures. XD

[@a.aviles5026]

Love your work and style. I wanted to ask you if you particularly alway use a matte finish on your walls or egg shell?

[@eleannebernard3156]

New Years resolution: become more of a minimalist in decorating my home. This is so helpful, I’ve def taken your tips to decorate our two bedroom, super outdated apt. Landlord is so picky though, so I can’t paint, change the ugly dark brown carpet, even hang too much on the walls. That’s my biggest issue. It’s almost discouraging to decorate but I’ve managed. Do you think you can share some tips in how to cover ugly mocha color walls with minimal holes on the wall, and make it look trendy/homie??? Help 🙏🏼

[@tamikaivy-seriki2468]

Hi where did you get the racks shelves behind you

[@XO2HKIM]

YOU'RE FINALLY BACK!!!!!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

As a longtime viewer of Dateline I can honestly say that was the worse attempt to disguise someone's identity that I've ever seen. As someone who enjoys a good laugh I can honestly say that was hilarious! I really enjoy getting ideas on how to decorate my space. I'm a renter whose apartment complex says that I can't paint the walls even if I paint them back before moving out. They're this unpleasant beige, kinda tan, kinda light brownish color that I don't like at all. But I'm making changes where I can. And I like these videos that give me ideas on how to make my apartment feel like it reflects my own style.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Emoretta Robinson press and peel wallpaper is awesome! I did some accent walls in my apartment and it made all the difference

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith does it come off easily? If so then that may be a good option

[@EngineeringmyLife]

Great ideas for rentals, I'm loving kinwoven!! Question tho, So...you cover your friends face and voice, but then reveal it at the end?😆

[@twilde3754]

Yay! You're back...

[@donna8212]

Happy 2020 Sharrah 🎉!!! Those are excellent tips 😊. As for resolutions, I don’t make them 😉. Have a great night!! 😁

[@Mypokerbuzz]

I'm sure it varies by area, but in Oklahoma (and I think a lot of nearby states), the walls throughout the house are satin and the walls in the bathrooms and kitchen are semi-gloss. The only matte paint is on the ceiling. Maybe we're just messy around here though :-P

[@taylorhuggins9865]

Yes negotiation video!!

[@iannone39]

Yeah loved the first 2020 vlog...looking forward to the new adventure of your new home...and go get mum out of hospital....💖🙏

[@julieprj9225]

Often the owners won’t let us paint because we’re not professional but yes I colour match and paint without them knowing. Owners don’t like renters renovating so negotiating rent is not possible, it’s different for you, you have a team to help paint etc.

[@howmuch4happy]

OOOKLAHOMA!! Hope you enjoyed your visit! I absolutely love living here! 🤗

[@sarahhutchinson9490]

First of all I'd like to say you're an inspiration.. I love watching all your videos specially all the organization ones ..🤩 quick question where did you get your shelves.? Been meaning to ask you for almost decade now .lol

[@meganw2564]

Sarah Hutchinson the glass/black ones in the living room? IKEA!! They have them in white or black (and easily spray paintable) and different configurations and they’re such a reasonable price!

I Think that would be totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[@nikkihermosa5080]

[@jeanieturner875]

I loved the idea. When I rented I painted and fixed it like I wanted and then just paint it to the color it was before.

[@DH-qz2so]

Careful with Magic Erasers! I used them on my white painted interior doors...it got off the motor oil fingerprints from the boys...BUT totally took of the gloss finish in the areas that I used it!!!

I own my house but I totally would love to see that video idea. Boss babe negotiations! 😂

We don’t rent but good video with lots of tips. I would not recommend sticky-back tile flooring though, as it can be impossible to remove later.

[@stephaniegarcia9760]

Where are the light fixtures in your kitchen and den from? So cute!

OMG one of my goals is to move and I can't wait to do the backsplash thing and the counter top too

[@missbow2009]

I love details that what make it RELATABLE!

[@amberfrazier575]

You can lay new linoleumright on top of the old and hot glue it around the edges and then just roll it up when you leave.

[@kelliking5418]

Peel and stick flooring tiles do work, BUT they leave a sticky residue when you go to peel them up.

[@bcfriardoyle7697]
