There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tenant rather than a homeowner, but depending on your landlord it can make making changes to your home/garden tricky. For example, you probably can’t rip up the lawn and lay down paving. However that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a garden that you hate, here’s how to make your rented garden shine.
Think Decorations
Decorations are a sure-fire way to brighten up any garden and the good news is that they can be really cheap too! Garden gnomes, funky plant pots and even a sprinkling of fairy lights can make a real difference to any outdoor space.
Flowers
Whatever the size of your garden or outdoor space there are plenty of plants & flowers that you can plant, in the right space you can even plant herbs or vegetables that not only work to brighten up your garden but also make a really practical use of your space too!
Garden Funiture
Garden furniture is a great investment because if you have to leave your rental home you can simply take your furniture with you to your new home. This is a great way to help you make the most of your space because it allows you to sit outside and enjoy your outdoor space and even have friends over to socialise.
Temporary Fixtures
You can buy bigger items for decorating your garden as long as you make sure you buy items that can easily be removed and taken with you when you move or sold on if you need to.
If you have anything extravagant that you want to do with your garden then it is always worth speaking to your landlord. Just remember that you cant be sure how long you will be staying there so definitely keep this in mind when it comes to budgets and spending money
