@Francis A.They are leaving, but not with a purpose to blend or assimilate into a better community.

1. wood floors or wood "type" floors(aka Laminate, LVP,)2. new nicer fixtures(not the most cheapest basic ones, but, not over the top) and new switch and outlet plate covers3. clean fresh paint....behr swiss coffee, from home depot factory mixed so, very consistent between batches, and that makes doing spot touch ups and blend ins between tenants, very easy4.

Paint the can light trim white, that way they will blend in to the ceiling. 

It goes with browns and grays and blends with traditional and modern looks, and you never have to wonder about matching different paint colors.  

This Is a blend of MF and SF.

The reason is because if you have an apartment building with multiple tenants, it's easier or more accepted that when you're a tenant in that building, you expect to have the noises that are normal for living in a multi-family building and are prepared to kind of blend in - it's more anonymous.In a duplex, it's more like having to get along with a roommate that you can't kick out.  

If you have the paint you should be able to blend in the patches as long as the repairs blend with the finished wall surfaces.

And it makes the appliances totally blend in as well.  

You can't just blend in and avoid each other.And it always comes down to who the tenants are anyway.  

Don’t blend in with the crowd!
