Renting doesn’t mean you have to live with ugly, outdated, or broken blinds. With the right products, you can upgrade your space without drilling holes or losing your bond. Here are the best blinds for renters who want a quick, stylish refresh.
Go for No-Drill or Minimal-Fix Options
Many landlords don’t allow major changes—but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Some blinds can be installed with removable brackets or adhesive mounts.
Best choices:
Tip: Always get approval if you’re unsure. Keep fittings clean and patch-free.
- Tension-fit roller blinds
- No-drill brackets for standard frames
- Temporary mounting systems (ask Apollo for options)

Measure Accurately for a Perfect Fit
Even if you’re renting short-term, you want blinds that fit well—no sagging, gaps, or rolling issues.
Measure:
- Inside or outside the frame (depending on allowance)
- Each window individually—no two are the same
- Follow Apollo’s easy online measuring guides
Tip: Order your custom size for a professional look, even in a rental.
Choose Low-Maintenance, Neutral Fabrics
You’ll want blinds that are easy to clean, blend with any room, and won’t clash with your landlord’s colour scheme.
Best fabrics:
- Blockout (for privacy and light control)
- Light-filtering screen blinds (to brighten up small rooms)
- Wipeable or textured neutrals (hide dust and smudges)
Tip: Stick to soft whites, greys, or oat tones for a rental-friendly look.
Reuse Them in Your Next Place
One of the best parts of Apollo’s DIY blinds? They’re custom-cut and removable, so you can take them with you when you move.
How to future-proof your blinds:
- Choose standard window sizes where possible
- Keep mounting hardware safe

Tip: Label blinds by room so re-installing later is easy.
