Cheap removable decorations

chadegg

Hi Im looking for some cheap ways of decorating a large space in my flat without makring the walls. I'm only have a one year contract so I need to be able to remove these without any marks so I dont loose my deposit. Anyone have any good ideas that won't break the bank?

I had this problem a few years ago with renting somewhere where they wouldnt allow pictures up or anything.

I had 2 really fancy serongs(sp) that I loved and wouldnt wear as they were too nice. I used drawing pins and stuck one side to the ceiling (the shortest side), and done it a couple of inches away from the wall. They looked lovely, and moved with the breeze too. When I took them down I used tiny bit off white toothepaste on a cotton bud to cover the holes in the ceiling and you couldnt tell

Yes, get some clip fames. Then search the net for some images that you like, print them out and put them prints in the clip-frames. Or you could buy London Underground posters, or something like them, and blu-tak them.

I had the same problem when I was renting and found wall decals/ stickers on ebay. I love them and have decked out my whole house. You can pick them up really cheaply on ebay. I got some really cool ones from here

I would ask the landlord if they would have any objections to you putting up a couple of picture hooks and get it in writing its ok. When you move out the picture hooks stay for the next person to add their chosen prints / pictures.
I found Bluetak and like actually marks the wall if left on for any period so actually can cost more to sort out in the long run.
