AbbieP Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 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-HomeMy 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.

Mick Mac Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/108053-decorating-rented-flat/#findComment-1002157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyNorwood Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I always think of Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street when anybody mentions 'muriels' [sic]!

Jeremy Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm not really sure how you could do something like this without causing any damage... unless there's some sort of giant frame/canvas you can stand on the floor up against the wall?

Ron70 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 As long as you're willing to return the flat to its original condition (in accordance with the inventory) I can't see any landlord having an issue with this?

Loz Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If you are renting directly from the landlord, ask him/her nicely if you can affix a couple of picture hooks. If you are renting from an agency, forget it. The computer will say no.
