Effortless Methods Transformed My Rented Space with Splashes of Color, Bringing a Homely Feel
Ammarah Hasham, a self-proclaimed "renter rebel," has taken the interiors world by storm with her creative and renter-friendly design ideas. With nearly 30,000 followers on her Instagram account, @ThePajaamaHub, Hasham shares her journey of transforming her rental home into a vibrant and personal space that defies the common beige and magnolia walls often found in rentals.
Hasham's approach to design is bold and unapologetic. She has bought statement furniture, such as a psychedelic armchair by Graham & Greene in a Suzani print, to break the monotony of the beige in her rental home. To add more color and pattern, she has layered her living space with a Wendy Morrison rug and hung an Anthropologie sofa throw as a tapestry on a wall, creating focal points without landlord complaints or the use of a paintbrush.
Hasham's DIY projects are not limited to her living room. She has DIY-ed an oversized headboard using plywood, wallpaper, and upholstery pins, creating a renter-safe focal point for her bedroom. In her daughter's room, she used peel-and-stick cork tiles to create a giant pinboard, serving as a revision board during GCSEs, an ever-evolving vision board, a photo journal, and bringing warmth, texture, and joy to the space, all at a cost of £30.
Hasham's renter-friendly design ideas have not gone unnoticed. In 2022, she won the Best Makeover category in the Real Homes Awards. Her work has been featured in leading UK and US interiors and lifestyle publications, and she has joined a new series of columns on the platform Scroll.in to share her experiences transforming her rental home.
Despite her success, Hasham is mindful of the rules and terms governing her property. A disclaimer is included on her Instagram account advising readers to be aware of the rules and terms before taking on any project. She believes that color, personality, and a sense of belonging should not be delayed for a "forever home."
Hasham's Instagram account is not a source of expert advice, but rather a platform to share the creative process behind her home projects. Through her account, she has shared 7 easy ways she has added color to her rented home, inspiring countless renters to embrace their creative side and transform their spaces. Hasham's story is a testament to the fact that a rental home can be more than just a temporary dwelling; it can be a place that truly feels like one's own.
