Be careful with peel and stick wallpaper. It might not damage the paint underneath when you remove it right away, but with time it can bond to it tighter and become a lot harder to remove without ripping the paint off with it.
Yep. It becomes like glue over time. Especially with fluctuations in heat with the seasons and moisture content of the area and such. If you live in an area with lots of humidity and then warm spells it can literally permanently adhere to the surface in some spots while bubbling and cracking in others. Paint is actually way less damaging.
A piece of art on the right wall when you enter before taking a left would be in my opinion a nice way to invite people to come in ☺️ I love the handles they have so much character
If you can't hang pictures...find a beautiful contact paper print on the Internet and cut it the size of a very large piece of art work. Attach it to the wall behind you. If you want to add a custom art collage of your own...you can Mod Podge directly onto the contact paper. When you move and peel it off, if any paint lifts off... it's minimal and you can paint over it. It will be a beautiful piece of custom art that peels off like one huge sticker. You can also buy ready-made enlarged scenes that you can cut into a huge tall piece of artwork to fill the entry way without taking up any additional space because it's flush with the wall.❤.
Nah, if you watch dear modern you will know that mirrors in the entry way are very bad feng shui. They reflect all the good energy back outside making your home feel lifeless and subconsciously make you feel unwelcome. They also scare the shit out of you when you enter the house at night
@@zuzu-ek1wu I didn’t mean on the wall in front of you as you go in (because I know you’d be reflected out the house). I meant on the wall Maddie is leaning against in the thumbnail.
I’ve always painted in rental. I just repaint to white before I leave. A few times they’ve told me not to repaint b/c they liked what I did. I’m just not fond of white walls myself.
Landlords dont want layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of paint on THEIR property - it costs alot to get it removed and redone by professionals . Not everyone can paint well and can leave it looking a mess also cane spoil carpets and other flooring
I woke up in the prep room in the hospital and I've never been cool with white rooms since. It's not a bad phobia, but I definitely don't sleep well. I've had to put up a lot of posters.
Now all you need is an indoor plant on a high plant stand and maybe a picture or 2 on the wall. The front entrance is a great space to make a big impact and oversized artwork is a good way to do it. Either way it looks great!
I feel like a mirror on the wall between the cupboard and the front door will also help to disperse the light that comes in through the window. And maybe a little ficus tree by the light switch?
I like the mirror idea, too, but think it would have the most effect if placed on the back wall that faces into the stairway... would be fun if it had a nice frame on it...
Maybe she can keep her eye open for a run with a design in it that includes the color of her door paper, a touch of her wall color, and a 3rd color or a design of thin strips to make the width of the room look wider. The rug blocks are the correct in direction, but the dark color and big blocks don't do it justice. However, her handles are super cute & a terrific choice! But, this is only IMO & budgets can limit decorating. Good job!
What about some bright coloured artwork on the walls.?. you can use command hooks which just peel off when you need to remove them. And a beautiful bright rug ?
Very nice, but I wish you would have done a still shot of the doors at the end... It's really hard to get a full concept of what it looks like while the camera is moving... Great Job!!!
You have an great eye for decor. Even at a young age, I remember you cleaning and organizing your bedroom and always found inspiration from those. You do the most beautiful things to your spaces. I can’t wait to see what your home would look like when you finally own it. I KNOW you will do an awesome job when you no longer need to worry about the landlord.
You can use color thumb tacks to hold wallpaper without peeling off the sticky backing for renter friendly projects. Look nice color green you forgot to hang wall art or pics on the white walls. Good start.
Take the doors off the closet across from the door and create an area where you can sit with shoe storage underneath. Have a few hooks at a the back of the former closet for coats. It will make the area appear and feel bigger when you open the door and make it practical for putting shoes on and taking them off when guests arrive. In the cabinet above, that’s where you store your other coats and shoes for other seasons (or bring them down from a bedroom closet when time to switch).
PAY LANDLORD DIFFERENCE IN COST FOR REVISIONS. 😉 PAINT THOSE UGLY NEW HANDLES.. COLOR BLOCK. A WINTERGREEN AGAINST BRIGHTER GREEN. THE BIGGER HANDLES LOOKS 👀 WORSE..SMH! 😮
Prop up a mirror along the wall space next to the door. A light and/or hanging plant from the ceiling above the (hypothetical) mirror would give the space more warmth 😊
I would take that closet in front of the door out to be an open space into the living area, then where the other closet is create a wall there to convert that whole space into a walk-in closet...💡
You could put some of that glass film on the windows that still let light in but kind of act like stained glass and turn the light into color on the walls.
Love the handles, so much character! Consider a picture on wall to the left if you’re entering. Then a small demi-lune table (or floating wall mounted table) with a mirror above it in the hallway, across from the picture.
I think a big mirror on the doors you put green wallpaper on, or on the wall to the left of the door would really make the space look bigger, and then you can check your outfit at the door!
Looks good! But can you locate the stuff in closet somewhere else and take off the doors and out and an entry way table in closet instead?? It would open up space even more. You can put your shoes under entryway table? If you get one with shelf underneath even better.
You hardly showed, almost DIDN'T show what it looked like after! Art? 3d soft wall hanging? Interesting, battery powered (app on your phone) hanging pendant or sconce w minimal hardware -- full tiny hole w spackle or even white toothpaste.
Just a question as a person not living in the US: Why are you not allowed to paint your walls? I mean you can always paint it back to white, or am I wrong? That's what we do in my country at last...
I hate the fact that so many places are rentals and don't actually allow you to make your space a home. You actively chose not to live here. Let people actually LIVE in the space you didn't want, idc if that means the walls may no longer be white (the most miserable, sterile colour).
You can add more mirrors. Like on the wall where shoerack is. Even multiple mirror opposite to each other.mirrors gives small space wider look. My mom interior designed our whole house and she did the same with my dressing room. It was small room so she put mirror everywhere. And also worked great bcz it was dressing room.
I love the doors but I hate the rug maybe something that goes better with the green and actually fits in the space. I noticed it going up the wall. But keeping a boarder of wood around the rug would also make the space look bigger. I don’t like the rug and it makes the space look more tight.
I haven't tried it but read that you can use fabric as a wall treatment if you use liquid starch. It will adhere to the walls without damage, being easy to remove when you leave.
Great start with lovely colours - the handles make a nice natural feel along with the calm green. Can't wait to see what else you do - a print on the wall; some plants/greenery?
You can try and add peel and stick window stickers they're added only with water and you can remove them any time you like, but on the glass they stay like a mural and it looks amazing
Maybe a wall or ceiling hanging plant by window above door. you could add a mirror on the wall where the doors open towards it'll make the space seem bigger and may reflect a little light in there
The handles are so cute. If you ever have to remove it to move or just for change and it's not coming off easily, just heat it with a hair dryer or heat gun and peel it❤

i do like the wallpaper idea tho (i own) bse i hate painting
I mean worst thing, they have to repaint the door white after. Not a big deal
@@Heliosvectorthen could have painted them now 🤷♀️. No big deal.
False. It will be bubbly and uneven from the wallpaper
A piece of art on the right wall when you enter before taking a left would be in my opinion a nice way to invite people to come in ☺️
I love the handles they have so much character
Or a mirror to make the room look bigger

Definitely a mirror!
Yes!! Agreed
@@TAMIKKOBEASTY I've also seen people do contact paper on poster boards and use "invisible" tacks to hang it. Makes a huge difference!
The changes you made are excellent!❤🎉
The doors don't compliment the rug
A full length mirror on the wall would really help, I think
Great idea!! 👍👍
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Saviour!

Ahh yess I agree! They just added that extra bit of customisation - it really feels like me now! 🥰
@@macerly That rug and the green really makes it look larger/longer
I’ve always painted in rental. I just repaint to white before I leave. A few times they’ve told me not to repaint b/c they liked what I did. I’m just not fond of white walls myself.
Me too.

@@Jan-sn5tk well that's a pity. Poor landlords.
@Jan-sn5tk landlords don't like layers of paint? Slapping on a new layer of white paint is called the "landlord special."
I woke up in the prep room in the hospital and I've never been cool with white rooms since. It's not a bad phobia, but I definitely don't sleep well. I've had to put up a lot of posters.
peel and stick stained glass would look so cute on the glass above the door :)
Like the one from Wednesday! Love that idea ❤
That's what I thought too!
💯 did the same my house.
I thought she was going to do that when she was cleaning them!
in that small space she needs all the natural light
Now all you need is an indoor plant on a high plant stand and maybe a picture or 2 on the wall. The front entrance is a great space to make a big impact and oversized artwork is a good way to do it. Either way it looks great!
Art and a huge mirror would be ace ! Tiny hallways are always tricky . Love the changes you have made and the rug ☀️
Art from thrift stores is a fun way to add color. Can also add details to paintings
I feel like a mirror on the wall between the cupboard and the front door will also help to disperse the light that comes in through the window. And maybe a little ficus tree by the light switch?
I like the mirror idea, too, but think it would have the most effect if placed on the back wall that faces into the stairway... would be fun if it had a nice frame on it...
Didn’t like the rug. Would be may be better to have a more colourful stuff.
Agreed, the rug is pretty dark...
Maybe she can keep her eye open for a run with a design in it that includes the color of her door paper, a touch of her wall color, and a 3rd color or a design of thin strips to make the width of the room look wider. The rug blocks are the correct in direction, but the dark color and big blocks don't do it justice. However, her handles are super cute & a terrific choice! But, this is only IMO & budgets can limit decorating. Good job!
Agreed, and it bugged me that it was too long and curled up against the wall
Honestly just those couple of things you did makes it look ten times better.
I would’ve gone for a “funner” rug 🤔 Brown rug on brown floor is a little blah...
What about some bright coloured artwork on the walls.?. you can use command hooks which just peel off when you need to remove them. And a beautiful bright rug ?
Surprised by the choice of rug, thought the rug would be an opportunity to inject much needed colour 🤷♀️
Very nice, but I wish you would have done a still shot of the doors at the end... It's really hard to get a full concept of what it looks like while the camera is moving... Great Job!!!

The adhesive sticks stronger over time and can peel the paint later on removal. Why not a more colourful rug and brighter colour than that green?
Stained glass foil above the door could be cute. Adds colour and makes the lights that filters in warmer.
Changing the door colors was creative. Consider a brighter rug runner. Natural Life on line has some fabulous, cheerful runners. Take a look.
Add a big, vertical, rectangular mirror on one of the walls. It creates the illusion of space.
It looks great!! I love how inexpensively you did this. 👍🏼
You can use color thumb tacks to hold wallpaper without peeling off the sticky backing for renter friendly projects. Look nice color green you forgot to hang wall art or pics on the white walls. Good start.
Love the color of the green doors. Great ideas!
Take the doors off the closet across from the door and create an area where you can sit with shoe storage underneath. Have a few hooks at a the back of the former closet for coats.

I love it !! Great job. I think you've given me the courage to make changes to my small entryway. ❤
I’d add coloured film over the window above the door to make a rainbow stained glass effect
“Make the space as colourful as possible”… puts down a brown rug
You need art in there. and a plant!
That’s pretty I love the wood handle and green paper
Very clever ❤
That unemployed friend on a Tuesday...
Great sight! Love the handles. You did a great job.
Cool project, but I wish every single makeover video these days wasn’t narrated in that awful tiktok inflection. Makes them unwatchable imo

Little John could expand it with expansion screws from his aunt and eco friendly wood veneers. U should have let him do the job.
Prop up a mirror along the wall space next to the door. A light and/or hanging plant from the ceiling above the (hypothetical) mirror would give the space more warmth 😊
They sell rolls of window clings with different colors and designs. It adheres with just water and when the sun comes in it can add color to the area.
So to make something more colourful you add a drab brown rug? Yeah, really colourful!
Great idea!! Love the colors❤
I think a large mirror would be great 🪞😊
A beach mural opens up the room and are very cheap... Like $20 Amazon
I would take that closet in front of the door out to be an open space into the living area, then where the other closet is create a wall there to convert that whole space into a walk-in closet...💡
You could put some of that glass film on the windows that still let light in but kind of act like stained glass and turn the light into color on the walls.
Looks already way better! Where do you got the foil from for the doors?
It’s from Spoonflower! 💚💚
Thank you!❤
To be honest i think most landlords will love the doors its so pretty yet minimal too.
How did you get things like a couch and table in when you moved when it’s so narrow?
The handles are ADORABLE
I think you need a pop or artwork where those holes in the wall are!! But lovely changes so far!!
Looks fabulous! Where did you find the green wallpaper?
You picked a very drab rug. Pretty disappointing.
Peel and stick "stained glass" for the tiny window on the front door ❤
Love the handles. Make a rug like the handles and a more colorful rug!
It does not look expensive 😂😂😂 that wallpaper is cheap
Pls dont hate enything. Prase God you can live in safely.
You are so creative and have great ideas on how to remake areas to look more cheerful & stylish!
‘Start by putting down the ugliest rug..’
Nightmares.... over this... "literally."
Wow.
You had nightmares about this entryway
Love the handles, so much character!
Consider a picture on wall to the left if you’re entering. Then a small demi-lune table (or floating wall mounted table) with a mirror above it in the hallway, across from the picture.
Doing great so far! That is a tiny entry!
I Hate white , crème off wire , beige ,etc color
A more colorful carpet would’ve been better
Looks awesome.
I love the green and the handles . It adds a great splash of color and personality to the space.
yes, definitely... a mirror, plant and/or art work would help!
and then in another video there was a little dresser there...
I think a big mirror on the doors you put green wallpaper on, or on the wall to the left of the door would really make the space look bigger, and then you can check your outfit at the door!
The rug is too big for the space..
Really great job!
You can paint, you just have to paint it back to white when you move.
Not all places allow for that and if it's not an exact paint match to what the land lord had before they will take it from your security deposit
Nice transformation! 😉👍
Looks good! But can you locate the stuff in closet somewhere else and take off the doors and out and an entry way table in closet instead?? It would open up space even more. You can put your shoes under entryway table? If you get one with shelf underneath even better.
Add full length mirror
I hope the landlord appreciates you, as you really make the place a home, and make it your own! it literally is improved
PLEASE the paper handles WONDERFUL, however PLEASE PLEASE change the rug😢
You hardly showed, almost DIDN'T show what it looked like after!
Art? 3d soft wall hanging? Interesting, battery powered (app on your phone) hanging pendant or sconce w minimal hardware -- full tiny hole w spackle or even white toothpaste.
SUGGESTION:
Put full length mirrors: in back of door & end of the hall for an infinity 😻

Just adding a mirror would add SOMETHING to the far wall and make the area seem bigger.

Even multiple mirror opposite to each other.mirrors gives small space wider look.
My mom interior designed our whole house and she did the same with my dressing room. It was small room so she put mirror everywhere. And also worked great bcz it was dressing room.
Patterns make space look smaller, hence the rug is doing the exact opposite job.
The colour of that wallpaper 😍
How do I get that exact wall paper, onto my ugly fridge? I cannot stand stainless steel and my favorite color is green. Please share links!

The only thing that doesn't make sense to me, is putting a brown carpet on a brown floor. Why not add a colorful rug?
If you asked the landlord I'm sure they wouldn't mind you redecorating if it's tasteful
I haven't tried it but read that you can use fabric as a wall treatment if you use liquid starch. It will adhere to the walls without damage, being easy to remove when you leave.

Hey, where did you get the wall paper from? It would be perfect for my wardrobe. Many thanks
The handles are so cute. If you ever have to remove it to move or just for change and it's not coming off easily, just heat it with a hair dryer or heat gun and peel it❤
Did you ask the landlord. You might pay for unapproved modifications
The green is very fresh an nice, also the handles look great. But I don't like the rug, it has no nice colour and the floor looks better wothout it.
put coloured plastic over the window at the top to create a stained glass look that will illuminate the entryway in beautiful colours
Months of litteral nightmares over a perfect little entree way and people find gen-X's opinion of these people harsh.
this space is begging for GALVANIZED STEEL
You spent how long putting the wallpaper on those doors? Just paint them, and paint them again when you move out.
