A Single Girl’s Guide to Furnishing Your Rental

Decking out your home when you’re flying solo isn’t always easy, but these tips will help.

Being single isn’t always a walk in the park. Aside from the obvious – the loneliness and lack of intimacy and having to navigate the frankly horrendous world of app-based dating – it’s just more expensive. Living alone comes with a ‘singles tax’ that can add up to thousands of dollars annually. There’s no one to split the rent and groceries with (or your Netflix subscription) and no one to go halves with on that expensive new couch you’ve been eyeing up.

As a long-time single girlie and a long-time renter, I’ve had to furnish my place entirely on my own, albeit with the contributions of housemates here and there. I’ve learnt how to do it on a shoestring budget and still have it look well-curated and inviting, so read on for my hardwon tips and tricks for furnishing your rental as a solo gal.
