Rental-Friendly Interior Design in New York City | Stylish Solutions for Renters
Living in New York City often means you have to make the most of a rental space and uncommon floor plans without the freedom to fully renovate or change the overall footprint. That doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style, comfort and practicality. At Michael Intérieurs, we specialize in rental-friendly interior design solutions that transform your apartment in a more functional and cozy home without permanent changes.
Whether you’re in a small studio in Manhattan or a brownstone in Brooklyn, we can help you create a space that feels personal, elevated, and entirely yours, while staying within lease restrictions.
Are you an investor or property owner looking to design and install a short-term rental or renovate your home? Look at our specialized services that will address your needs.
What is Rental-Friendly Interior Design?
Rental-friendly interior design focuses on non-permanent, reversible upgrades that enhance your space without risking your security deposit. The best approach is transparency with your landlord and we can help put together a few slides if you need their approval.
This includes:
- Wall painting that can be easily be reversed to the original color
- Recent peel-and-stick wallpaper and backsplashes
- Temporary lighting solutions and swapping existing ones
- Modular furniture and smart layouts
- Removable shelving and storage
- Styling and decor upgrades with maximum impact
Every solution is designed to be stylish, functional, and fully reversible. Even in a temporary home, you want to feel good at home!

I design with these realities in mind, creating interiors that are:
- Space-efficient
- Multi-functional
- Visually elevated
- Easy to install and remove
We have helped renters in New York City to furnish, decorate and optimize their homes. Our founder and principal designer Michael personally brings his own experience: he moved 10+ times to 7 countries and 8 different cities!
