Reviews
"Chelsey Brown's new book Rental Style is a great extension of the work she's already been doing for years: Teaching renters how to add personality to homes they don't own. This book lays out everything you need to have the rental apartment of your dreams, from tips on finding a place to rent and moving, to room guides on how to lay out your furniture and more. Sprinkled throughout are stylish decor ideas that will make any home prettier AND ideas that are easily reversible so you don't lose your security deposit! Both renters and landlords will likely appreciate the advice Chelsey shares." --Adrienne Breaux, Apartment Therapy's House Tour Editor "Gone are the days of 'I'll wait until I buy a home to make my place look fabulous.' Chelsey shows us all that your home, even your rental home, should be a reflection of you, a place you are proud to show off!" --Chaya Krinsky, head designer for TOV Furniture "This book is amazing. You'll learn so much from it, and the photos are actually from real people's homes. The tips are super practical and it makes you feel like you can be your own interior designer without having to spend loads of money on a professional one! This book is unlike any other coffee table book, and you'll love it as much as I did!" --Pauline Sussmann, American television producer "During my time living in countless different flats, I wish I had a resource like Rental Style in hand. . . . Chelsey's book is a bit like having a friend holding your hand as she walks you through the sometimes turbulent and stressful world of apartment living. Step by step and room by room, her guidance and reassurance can truly transform any rental property into a thing of beauty." --Kimberly Duran, creator of Swoon Worthy, from the foreword
