These décor tips are for those who live their lives in the fast lane and for absolute go-getters.
Do you live in a hostel from which you might shift out of the next year, or live as a paying guest where your lease is almost to come to an end? If you have the soul of a wanderer and the heart of a hippie, you have nothing to worry about because when it comes to décor and design tips, there’s a little something for everyone.

It could get quite expensive when you’re moving a lot and have to change your décor. But if you stick to these nifty ideas, you’ll get a good job done in your sort out budget.
Keep it Simple Silly
Who doesn’t want an extravagant home with lavish furniture and elaborate light settings? Who doesn’t want a home with a big dining table to entertain your guests and have big parties around? The truth is, if you’re one who keeps moving from one house to another, the best solution is to keep things simple. Simple doesn’t always have to mean bland. You can have a simple queen or king-sized bed in your bedroom. Instead of small trinkets of décor lying all around your house, you could have big statement paintings put up on the walls of your house in the various bedrooms. You can save on a whole lot of money and buy furniture online at a very good deal!
Stick to Décor Ideas that Transfer Easily
Instead of buying heavy and expensive curtains, go in for light fabrics with not much of an intricate design. If you have curtains that have simple patterns or solid bold colours, they will easily go with any kind of house set up. The colours or the décor style of the house will not really matter as long as the rest of the furniture fits well with it. Don’t go in for something absolutely unique or outstanding, otherwise putting it together with other furniture in a completely different house will be difficult.
Multi-Functional Furniture
When you know that you’re going to move around a lot, you’d want to keep your furniture and home décor minimalistic. This will ensure that, when you move out, there’s not much furniture that requires moving about. For the same to turn into reality, invest in pieces that are multi-functional in nature.
Instead of buying a sofa for the hall, buy a sofa-cum-bed, so that if you move into a smaller home the next time, you don’t have storage or space issues. Buy beds with storage space so that your house looks neat and tidy and the unused items are slyly tucked away out of sight.
Let Your Memories Speak
Buy and keep only those things in your home that hold a big amount of significance in your life and those things that actually matter to you. This could be the first coffee table your parents bought you when you moved out to live alone for the first time, or it could be a photo frame that your best friends gifted you with the best picture of the two of you together, or it could be a blanket given to you by your mother. Point it, DO NOT CLUTTER. That is one o the biggest no no’s when you’re always on the go. Yes, we as humans tend to create an attachment to the smallest of materialistic things in our lives, but as someone who moves around often, we can’t afford that. It’s not like you’re going to go through an Indian bedroom furniture catalogue for inspiration; instead, listen to your heart and hold onto only those things that matter!
Do It Yourselves
The best hack in the book is a DIY. We should be happy to have been born in the age of the internet where everything and anything is very easily accessible to us. If there’s something that you could DIY at home with a simple YouTube video and save a couple of bucks, there’s no harm in that!
These are just a few basic things among the many that you should keep in mind if you want to have swift changes between your homes. Stay tuned for more!
