16 Landlord-Friendly Homeware Finds For Under £100

Changing up your living space can feel like a gargantuan task – even more so when there are limits as to what you’re actually allowed to do. With mortgage offers being pulled left right and centre, demand for rental properties is at an all-time high (figures suggest there are 29 applicants per property in London right now) meaning more of us than ever are making ourselves at home in borrowed houses. But while it may be someone else’s name on the deed, there are still plenty of ways to make a space feel your own without treading on the toes of the owner.

If you ask nicely (and promise to put it back when you leave), you might find some landlords are amenable to a fresh lick of paint – an instant and fairly affordable way to transform a room if you’re willing to put in the graft. But for those of us who haven’t got permission to experiment with the Farrow & Ball sample pots, it’s up to our homeware choices to do the heavy lifting. Coming a close second to the walls, the furniture you fit in a room can change everything.

Even the whitest of walls feel vibrant when set against one of its iconic velvet sofas – the Scott 4 seater corner set in Green, currently on sale for £2250 down from £2750, is top of my want list. However, not everyone has the budget - or the space if your property is already furnished – for mega home purchases. And in those instances, MADE offer plenty of chic smaller homeware ideas that will help inject some personal style into your space.

Whether shopping their midseason sale edit – currently up to 40% off until 25^th October – or sifting your way through the newest arrivals, there are so many affordable homeware pieces which will update your pad without leaving a permanent mark. We’ve curated some of our favourite MADE buys for under £100 below, so you can give your borrowed abode the upgrade it needs. Own your home? Ease off the DIY and let these mini updates do the talking instead.
