If you rent from Aperto Living, you will likely live in one of their traditional but hip low-rise buildings, such as the Casa La Paz in Coachella, CA, or the Bonnie Brae Terrace in Belmont, CA. Aperto is a rental professional who manages 125 affordable properties in the southwestern United States. The walls in each unit are painted a neutral color that you can decorate with art objects to suit your taste. This is your opportunity to shop small and support local artists by purchasing their wall art.

Our Favorite Picks

Avoid hanging heavy paintings, and decorate your apartment with posters taped to the walls without leaving marks. Examples of timeless works of art that look great in any living room include drawings by Robert Longo, movie posters by Buy Art For Less and abstracts by Mercury Row. You can also find new favorites at local art fairs and vintage stores.

Choosing the Best Colors and Artwork

Once you invest in an artwork, you might be living with it for a long time. The best type of art for your apartment will be a statement piece you absolutely love. Adding modernist artwork that will add a pop of color to the room is easy. Consider classic poster prints like Poppies by Andy Warhol to brighten your space.

Wall Art for Rental Apartment Living

If you have a lease agreement with Aperto, you have likely put down a damage deposit that could be forfeited if you mark up the apartment walls with pencil marks or tape. Avoid attaching your art directly to the walls by using easels or stands. Opt for decorative vases or sculptures mounted on tables. Use adhesive Hook & Loop tape to hang art without damaging your walls.
