Looking for a super easy and totally renter-friendly way to spruce up your kitchen? For a little bit of patterned fun, Lela of the German blog Vorstellung von Schön applied a strip of black-and-white polka dot washi tape to the outside edge of her cabinet shelves. The effect is a nice little surprise every time she opens the cabinet doors!

Lela writes in this post that she was lucky the width of her shelves matched the width of the washi tape, so she didn’t have to worry about measuring and cutting. But even if you did have to trim the tape a little, this is still a totally doable project for anyone. And, because washi tape peels right off, it’s completely renter-approved.
