Decorating Your Apartment
Restrictions to Decorating
Residents may decorate their apartments to their own taste. However, written consent from the Residence Office must be obtained for any alterations (e.g., painting, wallpaper, etc.) and residents are liable for the removal of any such alterations.
Changing electrical (e.g., overhead lights, light switches, etc.) and plumbing fixtures (e.g., showerheads, sink aerators, etc.) is not permitted.
Residents will be charged for any damage, replacement or repair cost resulting from alterations.
How You Can Decorate Your Apartment
Hang wall art using adhesive or picture hooks with short nails, which are designed to minimize damage to paint and plaster.
Add area rugs to add warmth and minimize noise traveling between units.
Use the pre-installed curtain rods and eyelets to hang curtains. The concrete ceilings make drilling, even with a specialized masonry bit, extremely difficult.
Please be aware that Maintenance staff are not available to assist with apartment decorating, which includes but is not limited to hanging curtains, installing shelfing, and moving furniture.
