Personal Tastes

• When you rent an unfurnished apartment, you can choose bedroom, dining room and living room furnishings that match your personal tastes and style. However, when you choose a furnished apartment, you do not have a choice in upholstery type or color, wood color, or design style. This can be a disadvantage if you favor a certain furniture style. Your landlord's choice of furnishings also can affect your choice of curtains, artwork and decorations, since you will have to work around the style of the furnishings already in the apartment.
