Living in a rental property has its advantages. However, there are also unpleasant aspects, such as not being able to furnish your home according to your liking and having to settle for the existing decor. While it's possible to change or improve the atmosphere in the living room or bedroom, bathrooms often remain unchanged.

The first piece of advice is not to give up. You have the right to personalize your home, even if it's a rental, so that you feel comfortable in it. Even if the changes you can make are small, they are important for your comfort. Here's what you can do.

I don't know about you, but the first thing I did when I moved into my rental was change the shower head. The old one wasn't in good condition, so I didn't hesitate to replace it for my own comfort. And it wasn't expensive at all. That's why I highly recommend checking if your shower is working properly and then doing the same as me.

And while we're on this topic, change the shower curtain too. It's possible that the landlord forgot to replace it or didn't consider it important. But for you, this aspect matters. Choose a model and color that you are comfortable with and that will somehow liven up the bathroom atmosphere. I found some options at IKEA and was very happy with them.

To match, you can also get a bath mat.

Women have numerous products for personal care: different types of shampoo, hair conditioner, hair masks, shower gels, sponges, and many similar items. We know this well. And storage space is never enough. The edge of the bathtub doesn't always allow for storage or allows it only on one side.

Therefore, I recommend considering adding supplementary storage spaces in the shower area. You can add a bar similar to the shower curtain rod. Make sure that the new accessories will not damage the bathroom walls.

And because you most likely have a small bathroom, it wouldn't hurt to add storage anywhere. Boxes made from eco-friendly materials are perfect for storing everything you need, from the smallest to the largest items. Be organized and efficient.

Artificial lighting is very important, especially where there are no windows. If you are also one of those with a bathroom without windows, make sure the light is adequate. What I recommend you do is check if the current bulb meets your needs. I chose to replace it with one with more watts, 75 or even 100.

If you want warm or cool light, it's up to your preferences again. You can even change the fixture if you want a model that suits you better. With the right lighting, you will feel like the bathroom is more spacious. It's up to you to make your bathroom more welcoming.
