How to Make Your Rental Cozy (When Kind of a Sh*thole)

1. Add some personal touches. Hang some artwork, put up some photos, and bring in some plants. These things will help to make your space feel more like your own.

2. Use soft furnishings. Throw pillows, blankets, and rugs can add warmth and texture to your space. They can also help to muffle noise and make your space feel more comfortable.

3. Get some good lighting. Natural light is best, but if you don't have a lot of that, try using lamps and candles to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

4. Keep your space tidy. A cluttered space can make you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Take some time each day to tidy up, and you'll be surprised at how much better you feel.

5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If your landlord is willing to make some repairs or improvements to your space, don't be afraid to ask. You might be surprised at what they're willing to do.

6. Don't give up on style. Even if your rental is a dump, you can still make it stylish. Be creative and don't be afraid to experiment. With a little effort, you can create a space that you love living in.
