Need a low lift, non-permanent solution with high impact for your kitchen rental? We got you!
Rolling Kitchen Cart
An island on wheels is a lifesaver for extra kitchen counterspace and storage. Look for one with a good worksurface, like butcher block or stainless steel. And drawers or a pot to stash bins. Check out this two-drawer green rolling cart for a splash of color or this white cabinet style rolling cart for more of a classic look.
Adhesive Hooks
Inexpensive removable hooks can go anywhere in the kitchen—on the wall, on the side of a cabinet or appliance, or inside cabinet spaces. These colorful adhesive hooks come in a six pack. Or try these utilitarian stainless steel adhesive hooks that hold heavier duty items.
Stick-On Lighting
Apartment kitchen lighting is notoriously bad, but there are temporary solutions to light your space better. Undercabinet lights come in several varieties. For smaller spaces or nooks, try these battery powered puck style LED lights. Or for more light power under kitchen cabinets, these rectangle strip lights will work well.
Peel and Stick Backsplash
Temporary backsplashes are the solution to walls above countertops that need a little love and protection from water and food spray. These Spanish terracotta tiles are fresh and colorful. Or a classic hexagon variety will give your space a clean and timeless feel.
Pegboard
If you’re short on space in an apartment, go vertical and install pegboard to contain pots and pans, serving utensils, or anything you can hang on a peg. This metal pegboard has racks for spices and paper towels. Or this 48×24 inch basic brown pegboard is inexpensive and easy to customize with a variety of pegboard hooks.
Area Rug
Hate your kitchen floor? Cover it up. A colorful rug can hide tile or linoleum that you hate. Try a stain resistant washable rug in this fun citrus pattern or a modern striped washable cotton rug. Just make sure you add a rug grip underneath to prevent rug slippage.
