Best Of eBay: 18 Budget-Friendly Decor Hacks For Small Spaces

Ugly carpets, curtains not even your nan would appreciate and blank walls that you can’t drill a hole into without a tedious email to your landlord (and all for a sizeable chunk of your monthly paycheque). We are, of course, talking about the joys of renting and that age-old question: how on earth do you make your new space feel like yours, on a budget, when everything seems set up to stop you? 

For those in the know — and those who spend far too much time online — there’s only one solution: eBay’s Home and Garden Outlet. It's a mecca of budget-friendly, pre-loved, expertly refurbished or discounted designer furniture and decor. Here you can shop your exact interior aesthetic (retro-futurism anyone?), get up to 30% off viral-fave brands like MADE.com and Sass and Belle, or discover fresh new interior trends, all in one place. It's the dream for deal-lovers and lazy shoppers alike. New to the renting game? eBay's Essentials range has everything you could ever need for setting up home, from bedding to your first kettle.
