If you’ve ever rented your house or apartment, you know how hard it can be to change things up, while still being able to keep your deposit. It’s especially difficult to decorate your walls if you want to avoid using nails or drills.
Magnets can be a great tool to utilise when decorating your rented space, here are 3 damage free, rent friendly ways to decorate your home, without doing any serious damage to the walls!
Magnetic Wall Hooks
Hook hangers can be used in a variety of ways to elevate a home, but often these wall hooks require screws and nails, which can cause permanent damage to a wall. A great rent friendly solution to this are Magnetic Wall Hooks they can be used at coat hooks, key hooks, bag hangers and more!
They feature a steel backing plate with a peel off adhesive, that can be secured on any surface in the house-making them versatile and easily removable.
Magnetic Paint
Transform your rented home or apartment with FerroPaint® and remove the need for tacks, pins, and nails. Magnetic paint or FerroPaint® is just like regular paint, except that small particles of iron dust are mixed in. When you paint it on a surface, you end up with a layer of tiny flecks of iron. Magnets are attracted to these pieces of iron, essentially making any wall a huge sticky board! Colour doesn’t match the wall? Simply paint over, with the original wall colour and viola! You’ve now got the same wall, but magnetic! Decorate as you please.
