Neutral. Try to choose colour schemes and furnishings that will appeal to the widest range of tastes. Clean, bright pastel shades are the best choice. Avoid bold statements that may make your tenants uncomfortable. Remember this is a business decision so choose wisely.

Durable. When choosing your furnishings make sure you go for quality items that will stand up to the demands of your average tenant. All furnishings should be strong and easy to clean.

Safety. As obvious as it may sound if you have any furniture that is at all rickety or unstable either have it professionally repaired or replace it. It simply isn’t worth taking the risk that one of your tenants may injure themselves on your furniture or appliances.
