A couple of weeks ago, I got the plainest flat of them all, but it was at a killer price so I couldn't pass on it. I want to decorate the living room because space is huge and looks quite empty and not homey at all. I don't want to invest in furniture because it will be a pain to move out later on, so I'm thinking about those wall murals which are quite trendy lately. I like the sixth picture in this article: http://cargocollective.com/geoffsmith/Wall-Murals-for-Your-Home

My question.. actually, I have several of them:

1. Is there a renter-friendly way or a "model" which I can put on the wall;

2. Where can I find similar designs at a good price;

3. Do I need to ask for permission from the landlord if it's removable and does not damage his property?


Please help me on this, it's my first time as a tenant and I really want to have it all - live in a good looking flat and avoid landlord issues.

3. you would be foolish not to check or at least check the tenancy agreement for this type of clause - but if you are 100% that no damage will be incurred to the wall by the fixings etc I'm sure that would be fine - landlords expect that tenants will want to hang pictures


I'd be interested in the answers to 2 - we also have a large bare wall at home and are looking for ideas

    • It is disgraceful if it means small businesses have to close and people are displaced.
    • Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Dulwich: this is disgusting favouritism for the rich! It's disgraceful!!! Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Peckham: this is disgusting social cleansing! It's disgraceful!!! #SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome is real By the way, aficionados of prostitution and drugs will be happy to hear they remain a problem in the streets south of King's Cross station, just as they were when I lived there prior to gentrification. (To be clear: they weren't a problem because of my presence). I'm sure that will be a great relief to some of our friends on here that are scared knocking down a derelict building will turn Peckham into Royal Tunbridge Wells overnight.
    • I very much hope 'social cleansing' is not on the cards - the great value of Peckham is its rich mix of people both living and visiting the areas. If you mean removal or discouragement of criminal activity (including vandalism) then I would agree of course - and I would be very much in favour of actual cleaning in the area - the fact that Peckham is 'mixed class' is a good thing, surely (which is what 'social cleansing' often refers to). Kings Cross (which stimulated this part of the debate) had a very significant prostitution and drugs culture - with some elements of rack-renting and significant criminality. It was also far more 'run-down' and over a wider area) than the area around our station - even if that could do with more investment.
    • Yet we can. Given the development of the shopping centre, the expensive flats, lack of social hosing, closure of the stalls and hairdressers around the station to make room for the new square, I think it's quite clear where this is going.   It's not improving the area for the existing, its removal of the existing to make it better for the upgrade of the area.
