A fresh paint job is a band-aid for nearly any rental eyesore, but that isn’t always an option. A paint ban on your lease may leave you stuck with “landlord yellow” walls, but there’s some hope yet when it comes to temporary upgrades. Give these decorating hacks a shot to make your plain box feel less like a hovel and more like digs you’d like to show off on Instagram.
