#1:  Take Your Look From Rental To Condo

Not crazy about the carpet in your Idaho Falls apartment? Often in a rental situation you are stuck with the finishes (and sometimes not so great condition) of what’s already there. If your apartment’s carpet leaves much to be desired, camouflage it with an extra-large area rug. Pick something that coordinates with your décor and your space will be transformed from drab to FAB!

#2:  The Essentials on a Budget

When moving in to a new apartment in Idaho Falls renters may find it can be tempting to rush out and buy the essentials in all the newest colors and trendiest designs. But consider this. Here are five things you can get at the dollar store instead, leaving extra cash for something more decorative to liven up your new space.
1.      Basic Broom (Typical Price = $9.99)
2.      Dust Pan (Typical Price = $3.99)
3.      Basic Mop (Typical Price = $12.99)
4.      Wash Cloths (Typical Price = $3.99)
5.      Package of Plastic Hangers (Typical Price = $3.99)

#3:  Don’t Try to Hide Your Pet

While you may be tempted to move in with man’s best friend without disclosing this to your landlord, it’s probably not a good idea. Many landlords advertise pet-friendly apartments.

If you found the perfect apartment and but it’s not pet-friendly, ask. Some landlords are willing to negotiate on their policy. Often this will depend on the size and breed of your pet. But it may also help to address any concerns the landlord may have such as behavioral disturbances and damage to the property.

#4:  Create Your Own Entry

Many apartments in Idaho Falls lack a designated entry. But you can create your own using a bookcase. Removing the top shelves and installing hooks on the back wall will give you a place to hang coats. Add extra hooks to the outside for umbrellas, dog leashes or to hang your keys. Baskets can be used on the bottom shelves and up top for additional storage. You can even add a memo bar, found in most office supply stores, to organize reminders.
