Renter-Friendly Home Improvements
We’ve partnered with Lemonade renter insurance to bring you tips on easy renter-friendly improvements you can make to customize your home! All of these solutions are systems you can easily remove when you move, and most you can take with you to your next home!
Elfa Back of Door
Maximize your storage by utilizing the vertical space inside of your doors! One of our all-time favorite renter-friendly organizing solutions is the Elfa back of door organizer. This system is simple to install, fits well on many different door sizes and thicknesses, and can easily be removed and taken with you to your next home! Outfit your unit by selecting from a variety of basket sizes, as well as peg boards with multiple hook, tray, and bin attachments. This system can either be hung or drilled into a door or wall to fit your preference. Use this solution in closets, bathrooms, pantries, laundry rooms, and more!
TIP: Struggling with shoe storage? Check out this gorgeous over-the-door shoe organizer to bring additional renter-friendly storage to any closet! These can be used for shoes, accessories, toys- the list goes on!
Command Strips
We know it sounds simple, but command strips can make a big difference in your home. We love using the broom command hooks to hold a variety of long-handled cleaning tools like mops, brooms, dusters, and more. We’ve even used these for storing different sports equipment, like rackets, on walls to maximize vertical space. Gone are the days of just basic white hooks! Now command strips come in a variety of colors to fit your needs including matte black, gold, clear, brushed nickel, and more. The best part is that they are easy to remove and leave behind no residue for easy cleanup.

Stackable Drawers
Stackable drawers are a wonderful renter-friendly solution if you’re lacking storage but not wanting to do a custom build-out. We’ve used stackable drawers to create additional storage in closets, in deep cabinetry, on vanities to store makeup, in fridges and freezers, and even under a pedestal sink!
Renter-Friendly Custom Buildouts
Dreaming of a custom closet but living in a rental? No problem! We design closets made to move with you using the Elfa system. If you’re allowed to hang a picture, you’ll be able to use this system. Elfa’s flexibility lets us tailor your design to your needs. As an NYC-based team, we’re experts in maximizing storage even the most unusual spaces.Ready to get started creating the close of your dreams? Reach out to learn more!
Renter Insurance
Our biggest tip for elevating your renter experience? Protect your peace of mind by making sure your belongings are covered. Renters insurance is a low-cost, high-impact way to protect your space, especially as you invest time and money into making your rental feel like home. Lemonade makes the process quick and easy with affordable plans starting at just a few dollars a month. From signing up to filing claims, everything is handled through their sleek app! Their policies cover things like theft, fire, water damage, and even personal liability. It’s a smart, renter-friendly move that keeps your improvements, and everything else you love in your space, covered.
Drawer Dividers
Expandable drawer dividers are a staple for creating a custom feel in any drawer. These spring-loaded drawer dividers create separation between categories, allowing you to easily maintain the organizational systems you put in place. We use these for file folding clothing into dresser drawers, organizing Tupperware and kitchen gadgets, separating hair tools in bathroom vanities, and much more. Coming in both white and natural finishes, as well as a variety of sizes to fit different drawer heights and depths, these dividers will help you customize your space for your needs.
