How can I make a flat homely?

I don't want to put posters, paintings or photographs up on the walls because this is a housing association property and they want tenants to fill in holes and plaster and paint before moving out again.

I have no DIY skills and haven't got the energy for all that.

So has anyone got any ideas of how I could make my home look less bare?

Sometimes it looks sterile. I really need some stuff to brighten the place up.

  • I live I a housing association property, and have decorated how I want, if you are planning on staying in the property meaning it is not short term accommodation then you can decorate how you like. 

    Most housing associations use that term in tenancies but it really applies to damage not small things like holes from picture hooks or curtain rails. It can be misleading.

    Have you tried different types or colour curtains/blinds? They can really change a room
