You might have some clients who plan to live in their home for the next 20 years and they\u2019ll be interested in long term decor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/05\/4-renovation-tips-interior-decorators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">renovation projects<\/a>. Occasionally, however, you might have clients who want decor advice for spaces that they won\u2019t live in for very long.\n\nThinking of short-term decor solutions is a unique challenge. Clients aren\u2019t often willing to pay high prices for decor in a place they\u2019ll only be in temporarily. They also won\u2019t be keen on designs that are permanent, since many temporary living situations require you to reverse the changes you\u2019ve made. Even so, decorating is an important part of settling into any home, no matter how short a time.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T101143.898.jpg\" alt=\"small apartment interior decorating job\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\">\n\nWho might be interested in getting your help with temporary decor solutions?\n<ul>\n \t<li>Military families on short postings<\/li>\n \t<li>College students in one-year dorms<\/li>\n \t<li>Short term renters who aren\u2019t sure how long they\u2019ll live in a neighborhood<\/li>\n \t<li>People on temporary work contracts in a new city<\/li>\n \t<li>Students on exchange for school<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHere are 9 easy and affordable techniques for temporary spaces!\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/2015\/11\/9-ways-to-decorate-a-temporary-space\/#1_Easy_DIY_projects\" >1.

Easy DIY projects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nDIY projects are something you can do with your clients, for them, or just suggest to them so they can enjoy the projects themselves. Suggesting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/07\/6-diy-ikea-furniture-hacks-for-an-interior-decorating-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DIY furniture and decor<\/a> is a way to get your clients more heavily involved in the design process. They can be extra fun if the clients know they\u2019re only living there temporarily because they might be more willing to take decorative risks with colors and patterns, making DIY projects the perfect accents. Suggest projects like painted mason jar candles, storage made of plastic baskets covered in patterned fabric, up-scaled thrift frames holding your clients\u2019 own art, vintage garage sale furniture that you\u2019ve refinished with a fresh coat of paint. All of these things are easy, affordable, and can be as bright or fun as your clients want to make them.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T094649.893.jpg\" alt=\"succulents and house plants to purify air in a temporary home\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Wall_decals\"><\/span>2. Wall decals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nColor is a central part of good decor and, in permanent spaces, the walls are a great canvas for it. Clients in temporary spaces, however, don\u2019t always have time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/06\/paint-vs-wallpaper-interior-decorators-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paint or wallpaper<\/a> the whole place before they have to change it back again to move. Instead, try brightening the place up with wall decals. These stickers are actually designed to stick well temporarily, but also to peel off easily without wrecking the paint. Decals are available in countless images, colors, and silhouettes, and you can also have them custom-made for affordable prices.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Picture_collages\"><\/span>3. Picture collages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nHelp your clients choose unique picture frames from thrift stores or garage sales and create a large picture collage across the main wall. Choose personal shots of family and friends, pictures of things your clients love doing, or portraits of different places they\u2019ve been. You might even encourage your clients to paint or decorate the frames so they fit in with a particular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2019\/01\/2019-color-predictions-by-professional-color-consultant-christina-kittelstad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color scheme.<\/a>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T095230.578.jpg\" alt=\"wall photo collage\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Unique_lighting\"><\/span>4. Unique lighting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIncorporating lighting into the decor scheme doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. Since the space is temporary, avoid fancy fixtures that require rerouting wires and altering switch positions. Simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/03\/designers-guide-energy-efficient-lighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lighting solutions<\/a>, like twinkling string lights in sheer curtains behind the bed for a romantic glow, can set the mood well. Uniquely shaped standing lights or table lamps that cast a colored shadow are also great but simple decor. Best of all, they\u2019re simple to set up and take down.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_House_plants\"><\/span>5. House plants<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/10\/green-guide-using-plants-home-decor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">House plants<\/a> are probably one of the easiest ways to bring some life into a temporary space. They\u2019re affordable and the colors, sizes, and types vary widely. No matter your clients\u2019 tastes, you\u2019ll find a plant that suits what they\u2019re looking for. Some couture designers might look for complicated arrangements or rare, fancy plants, but clients with a temporary space need an easier solution than that. Find a pretty plant they like, choose a sunny spot for it, and put it down. If you really want to spruce it up, find a lovely decorative vase that the pot will fit inside. Done!\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T100357.886.jpg\" alt=\"houseplants as decor for interior decorating home\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Throw_pillows\"><\/span>6. Throw pillows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nDecorative pillows are perhaps one of the simplest but most effective ways to give temporary spaces character. They literally come in every color, shape, size, and texture, and if you can\u2019t find the one you\u2019re looking for, you can probably make it. Throughout your clients\u2019 short time in the space, they can change their pillow display and actually use the pillows.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Bold_rugs\"><\/span>7. Bold rugs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nLike throw pillows, rugs are an easy and cost-effective way to transform temporary spaces. As long as you\u2019ve thought about where the rug looks best with the furniture and floorplan, rugs are simple. Base this decision on color, material, or pattern. Once again, the temporariness of the space might encourage your clients to take a risk and choose something creative and different. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/09\/use-statement-flooring-right-with-your-interior-decorating-certification\/#rug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rugs come in an endless variety<\/a>. Besides choosing where to put it, your biggest challenge will be finding one your clients like at an appropriate enough price for the temporary space.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T094156.195.jpg\" alt=\"bold rugs in apartment to add color for interior decorating jobs\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Mirrors\"><\/span>8. Mirrors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nHanging a mirror is an easy way to give your clients\u2019 space the illusion of more light and more space. Mirrors are affordable and easy to hang, and finding unique styles is fairly easy. Use them to help establish the atmosphere your clients are hoping to enjoy in their short time there. For a warm, classic-looking space, choose a vintage mirror with a dark wooden frame. If they want the space to be bright and edgy, choose a modern, angular mirror.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Curtains\"><\/span>9. Curtains<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nCurtains fall into the same category as rugs, mirrors, and throw pillows: easy but effective. You have endless options for colors, materials, textures, and styles. Get opaque curtains for warmer spaces with really big windows that your clients might need privacy from, or light sheer curtains that move in the breeze and keep the room feeling bright and fresh.\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Design-Blog-In-Post-130x130-2019-07-25T094521.275.jpg\" alt=\"teal turquoise colored curtains to decorate a space\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\"><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easy_but_impressive\"><\/span>Easy but impressive!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe best temporary d\u00e9cor solutions are ones that catch the eye and give the space character without costing a lot of money or taking long to set up. When your clients only have a short period to enjoy their home, you want to waste as little time as possible settling them in. Give your clients great quick home decor options without skimping on quality or originality.\n\nCan you think of other ways to personalize a temporary space?
