Since moving in together in October, Bob and I have been doing our best to put our own stamp on our home within the limits of what is allowed in a rental property. Fortunately for us our landlords are amazing and let us paint a wall in our bedroom (is was bright red, and so not soothing) and the rest of the house is neutral throughout making it easy to make small changes in non-invasive ways through our own furniture and accessories.
We were also contacted by the team at Posterlounge to see if we wanted to pick out a couple of pieces of artwork from their extensive selection, and of course we said yes! There were a lot of screws and hooks in our walls when we moved in that we can’t take out, which also means we have plenty of scope for hanging up some pictures, photos and other accessories (currently out advent calendars to keep them out of Pablo’s way!) so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to further personalise our home. We decided to pick out one piece each (and hope the other person liked it!)

You can probably guess who chose what! I instantly fell in love with the quote on the print I chose, and it’s minimalism, whereas Bob who is obsessed with all things space just needed the astronaut in his life. They are now living in harmony on the lounge wall and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and service received.

The greatest thing about Posterlounge in our opinion is that there are so many options for how you want your art. You can buy as a standard poster in various sizes (with or without a frame) or chose from an array of alternative finishes such as canvas, wood, alu-dibond and acrylic glass- again in a variety of sizes and finishes.

We went for acrylic glass for both of our pictures and love the effect it gives. We picked the 50×70 size with no frame which bought the pictures to just under £60 each, and worth every penny. We’ve already said that we’ll be returning to Posterlounge in the new year to purchase some more art for the house as we really found it hard to narrow it down this time! I should also add that the pictures came with everything we needed to hang them, meaning they were up within 5 minutes of coming out of the box.

Have any of their pieces caught your eye? And does anyone have any tips they’d like to share on how else to personalise a rented home?
