Give your place a bunch of personality without googling what the heck a stud is and why it's in the walls.

Hanging up wall art shouldn't be hard work *or* compromise your security deposit situation if you're in a rental. But unfortunately, if your decor situation falls into either category, let's make your life easier and opt for other creative ways to decorate without having to spackle when you move. Read on for low-lift, creative ways to make your place feel more your own. 

Promising review: "My fireplace doesn't have a great spot to hang hooks on to hold garland, but these command hooks have solved that problem for me! I am currently using three Command hooks for two sets of garland, and it holds them with ease. Could hold heavier garland if wished. It is very sturdy, keeping the garland in one place without it falling between the hooks. I've had this up for several days now, and it remains in place. So worth the money I paid!" —Madison Mumm

Get a 6-pack from Amazon for $11.60 (includes 12 sticky strips).

Promising review: "Works really well for holding outside decor without wear and tear as long as its not too heavy." —Kitt Smith

Promising review: "I love these bulbs. They make any room all warm and cozy. Also a fantastic night-light for the little ones. :) Get you some!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $18.76+ (available in three styles).

Get this framed piece of wall art from a small biz on Amazon for $38.99.

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter’s toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won’t regret it." —Valentine Girl

Get a pair from Amazon for $15.65 (available in eight styles).

Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to the size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It’s absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $6.59+ (available in two sizes).

This kit comes with separate-to-apply elements, so it'll work on a variety of window dimensions. If this isn't quite your style, there are lots of other stained glass window decals and window cling styles.

Promising review: "These stained glass decals worked great on the fireplace windows in my early 1900s bungalow. If you get up close, or look at them from the outside, it's pretty obvious they aren't real, but you'd have to be looking really closely. Don't forget to buy one package of caming lines for each set of decals, you'll need it. If you're someone who gets stressed about applying sticky things, or making things straight, don't worry too much about it. I am really bad at that stuff typically and I found it really easy. Wash your windows first, measure so you have a rough idea of where to put the center decal, and keep some scissors on hand to cut the caming. It's easy and so cool! Our house already has a lot of 'old house charm' so these fit in perfectly." —Linds

Promising review: "I have a weird skinny window in my house where no normal window covering works. People walking on our community trail can see up into our upstairs bathroom when the light is on and it's dark outside. Not a good plan at all. So I used this window film and cut different-sized circles and placed then on this window to interrupt the view into the house. Worked perfectly! Very easy to use." —Marsgard

Get it from Amazon for $5.51+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "Great product! I wanted to upscale my cabinet and hide the items stored in it, and this was the perfect solution. It comes with everything you need to install i,t and it's a breeze to install. Light comes through beautifully, and I love that it has texture, which makes it look amazing. No hassle whatsoever. Great buy." —Wilmalie

And if this colorful design isn't your thing, there are seemingly endless design options for similar window film on Amazon! 

One reviewer was able to dye the tassels to match a costume, so that's a possibility to match your vision!

Promising review: "These tassels are very nice. So nice that I immediately purchased another pair. They are made of a silky yarn that is very soft to the touch. The ratio of red to gold is well-balanced, giving it an elegant and sophisticated look. They're not too heavy, but the perfect weight to hang without easily moving around. I would say the price is very reasonable. I did say I purchased a second pair! I think they'll last for a long time." —Amazon Customer

Get two from Amazon for $12.96 (available in 11 colors).

If these are too pricey, there are lots of smaller, similar tassels for cheaper on Amazon. 

I've used these for most of my wall art, and when you (as the reviewer mentions) wait for the Command strip to adhere to the wall per the directions, it really can hold! Also, make sure to follow the directions on *where* to place the strips when it comes to whatever you're hanging up, because that matters a lot too. Like with all wall art installation, I rec using a level to make sure your art is even, because unlike with a nail, it's harder to tilt and adjust once the strip is in place. 

Promising review: "Used these to hang a ton of pictures in our new mountain retreat. These worked great. Used them for both heavy and lighter photos. A little pricier than a nail, but I love the ease of removal, and it makes it easier to get them hung level. We followed the instructions and waited 24 hours to put the pictures up." —AmazonUtah

Get them from Amazon: 300-LED light curtain for $14.99 and sheer curtains for $10.99+ (available in several colors and lengths)

And if you're looking for something slightly different check out these string lights with photo clips.

Promising review: "Great light strip. The motion sensor has a good range and then controls for time on and brightness are wonderful. The 3M tape on the back could be stronger, but for the price and motion sensor it is a great buy. Also we have this plugged into a smart outlet so that it only turns on during certain hours of the day. That plus the feature that is there is enough ambient light, the motion sensor doesn't trigger makes this on par with systems that are far more expensive. Works great with Google home as well because of the linked smart plug. Very happy with the purchase. Would be 4.5 stars just because of the tape not being sticky enough, but they do provide a second roll in the box, which helps." —AC

Promising review (for the suncatcher): "This might be the best thing I’ve ever purchased. My room looks magical on sunny afternoons. If you love yourself buy these crystals. Not only are the rainbows pretty but the crystals are too." —Tiffany Tyree

Promising review (for the chandelier): "Soooo pretty and makes the room dance with glittery disco spots. It’s such a whimsical little addition to the plant window." —KB 

Get them from Amazon: sun catcher for $9.99 or the chandelier for $16.99. 

Promising review: "I purchased the smaller version, and it is adorable. I will use it for decor in my guest room. But I like it so much, I may move it to my room. Easy to assemble, nice to have the spare mirrors." —stownse

Promising review: "I was blown away at how high-end this duvet cover was! It is absolutely beautiful! The weight of it is very substantial, so it won’t tear. It has a silk-like finish, which is gorgeous. I am so excited to find this item." —Joellen Chapman

Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in nine designs and five sizes).

Promising review: "This is a stunning blanket…..it is perfect for finishing off my boho bedroom look. I washed and dried it prior to using it and it turned out beautifully. I would suggest that the pictures online really need to show more of the darker teal side, as it is very rich with stunning color contrast. The weight and the fact that there is no fringe make this 100% cotton blanket perfect for sleeping in our cooler temps in Southern California." —Diane

Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in several patterns).

Promising review: "One of my new favorite decor pieces. I put these on the mantel, and they immediately enhanced the space. They look great on or off, and I'll definitely be purchasing more for a few other spaces in my home!" —Autumn Thompson

Get three from Amazon for $9.79 (available in three colors and four quantities).

That is my nightstand on the left. I love this thing! And it for real reminds me to buy tissues.

Promising review (for the house): "Since I am a broke 31-year-old this was the only house I can afford. Plus it helps hide the tissues I use to cry in every night." —Lizbanta

Promising review (for the faux-leather): "This tissue box cover stylish and fits perfectly. It's easy to remove and replace and great for disguising tissue cardboard boxes. The texture adds a nice touch and is good addition to any bedroom decor." —Cathy

Promising review: "The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person. I’m thrilled with how it looks on the shelf — plus it’s a very good hiding spot. I would 100% recommend these for anyone looking to add color to your home." —elishiva

Promising review: "Easy to install. Lights provide ample lighting; USB allows lights to be a standalone fixture without tying up another wall socket. The USB interface also acts to turn the lights on and off with the TV. Backlighting also seems to make the screen seem sharper." —Shaun

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL).

Billion Dollar Art Gallery is a small business that specializes in accessible art technology. You can even toggle it to display captions to learn more about the art's history. 

Promising review: "I love everything about this product. I love the case's detail, the etching on the USB drive, the selection of art, and the business idea itself is genius. I bought it years ago, and I'm revisiting it now because I use it every single day on my Frame TV. My tiny children are art savvy (and appreciative) because they have a billion-dollar art gallery playing in their house every day. Bravo, person who came up with this idea. I wish you'd make another installment. I'd buy another 500 images. There are a lot more in the public domain that I'd love for you to collect for me." —Amy 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four styles, including one for kids and a National Parks version). 

Reviewers note that this doesn't give you the funhouse-like effect some cheaper full-length mirrors do.

Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms for $11.99+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review (for the wavy frame): "These look wonderful! My daughter is going for a maximalist/dopamine decor room, and these fit the bill. Highly recommend and will use again!" —Angelica

Promising review (for the frame): "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DIRECTV." —Karebow

Get the butter stick from Phantom3DByKelsey on Etsy for $21.99 or the frame from Amazon for $15+ (available in seven finishes)

Just note that not all cabinet pulls are sized the same, so measure yours before you order replacements.

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in quantities 1–60 and in eight colors).

Poplight is a woman-owned small biz founded by entrepreneurs Rose and Caroline Matthes. They sell renter-friendly lights that are sleek and modern!

Promising review: "I love this light! I’ve been on the hunt for a simple, elevated-looking bedside light for a long time, but wasn’t sure if a sconce was the right choice due to cost and my ABSOLUTE lack of electrical knowledge. My pop light has exactly the look I was going for and was SO easy to install (bonus for being renter-friendly too!). I hope there are more sizes and styles to come in the future, I’m just about ready to cover my entire apartment with these!" —Nicole

Get it from Poplight (available in eight colors) or Amazon (available in seven colors) for $99. 

And you simply tap on the giraffe's face to turn the light on or off. Easy-peasy!

Promising review: "The color and style are unique, fun, and modern. I was planning on painting black for my modern home, but it looks super modern and beautiful on the corner as a lamp, focusing on my plants." —Madelaine

Promising review (for SpongeBob): "Bought this fun and lightweight shower curtain for my son's bathroom. The quality is super cute, and it fits the shower very well." —Amazon Customer
