What Instantly Makes a Space Feel Homey?

Just moved into a small rental and honestly… it still doesn’t feel like me yet. I’ve done the basics—cute rug, swapped out some lights—but it still feels kinda empty or cold? I don’t want to spend a ton or risk losing my deposit, but I’d love to make it feel more homey. Any renter hacks that actually work? #lemon8contest #AskLemon8

Contact paper for counter tops and if your landlord allows you to, paint. Also go to your nearest dollar store or 5 below. They have decor for relatively cheap that you can use to make your space more your own

Maybe some curtains. A wax warmer with your favorite scents. Pictures in picture frames.
