I really like freedomplace1 floor selection. It complments the stone much better than the dark flooring.

Please, no gray flooring. What freedompplace1 suggested looks perfect.

Scrape the popcorn ceiling (I guess) and call it good. The rental market where I’ve lived was always so tight, I never expected an “updated” place.

I should have added your place has nice features that will be very appealing as is.

I like all the comments above. Here are a couple of LVP pictures that would go well with your decor.

freedomplace1, do you recall what brand/color of flooring you used for that rendering? We will be in a time crunch and I was going to see if it’s an item that is not special order. Thanks!

Will suggest a German smear technique for the fireplace. As it is now it dominates the entire room instead of just providing a focal point. The smear will lighten the stone and make it less oppressive. Good luck!

Is that Texas? We lived there and had those same cabinets (for awhile😁)

thinkdesignlive yes! It is 🤣

Were I your tenant, I would LOVE to have white/off white walls. And the medium wood look floor that is suggested above. Try doing the German technique to your fireplace. If it doesn’t work…I would remove the stone and dry wall the space. Less is more. Clean, fresh, easy to care for. And NEUTRAL.

I would get rid of the fireplace, seems in a awkward corner, and takes up a lot of space. Also has it been inspected, would you want renters burning fires? If nothing else Id make it much smaller. I think that would eventually help resale too.

Question: What is the average rent in your area and average income? Curious to know what you expect?

This photo illustrates that much can be done to make an awkward fireplace look interesting.

Talk to your local flooring pro about loose lay vs glue down. Any movement whatsoever can wreak havoc on the click edges and there has been lots of failures with that. Texas has a lot of foundation movement (good that you’ve taken care of it as we had to do that as well in Richardson where we lived). You may want to explore glue down again for this reason….I’d vote fireplace redo along with floors and definitely leave the wall color as is. The floor colors suggested so far go well with the overall home finish (I see medium warm brick outside). I also vote to carry the floor into the kitchen. Good luck!

It is a lot of white hopefully a washable paint. I worry about the quality of the paint/paint job when cabinet hinges are painted. Please don't hold tenants responsible when those cabinets start losing their paint.

The fireplace is awfully big, in a rental I wonder if it makes since to remove it altogether. It certainly would look better if it was smaller but with so much white in the house it is nice to see a little color.
