Just because you’re renting doesn’t mean you have to live with outdated or ugly window coverings. With Apollo Blinds’ DIY-friendly blinds, you can easily update your space without damaging walls—or your bond.

Here’s how to choose renter-friendly blinds and install them the smart way.

Use No-Drill Mounting Options

Many rental homes don’t allow screws in walls or window frames. The good news? You can install blinds using no-drill brackets or removable adhesive options.

Suitable for:

• Roller blinds
• Lightweight blockout blinds
• Small windows or sliding doors

Tip: Always check the frame material and weight limits before using adhesive mounts.

Go for Blockout Blinds in the Bedroom

Need privacy from neighbours or bright streetlights? Blockout roller blinds are renter favourites. They give full privacy, block harsh sunlight, and are easy to install (and remove when you move out).

Best for:

• Bedrooms
• Bathrooms
• Street-facing windows

Tip: Choose neutral colours like white, stone, or grey to match any interior.

Try Light-Filtering Fabrics in Shared Spaces

For living rooms, kitchens, or home offices, screen blinds let in soft light without losing daytime privacy. They’re a great way to make small rentals feel bigger and brighter.

Why renters love them:

• Keep natural light flowing
• Reduce heat and glare
• Easy to pair with curtains or existing fixtures

Tip: Layer screen blinds with curtains for a flexible look that doesn’t need drilling.

Easy to Take With You When You Move

Apollo’s custom blinds are cut to fit—but many renters install them using removable fittings, so they can take them when they move.

• Reuse-friendly
• Made to last
• Saves money long-term

Tip: Keep your original fittings stored safely in case your landlord asks you to return the window to its original state.

Final Thought

Renting doesn’t mean settling. With DIY, no-drill blinds, you can upgrade your space in a weekend—with style, comfort, and privacy.
