How to Make Your Apartment Holiday Ready for Christmas

The holiday season is here, and your apartment at Rowan Pointe is ready to be transformed into a cozy holiday retreat. With thoughtful decor and a little self-care, your space can feel warm, inviting, and perfect for the season. Let’s explore how to make the most of apartment living and community joy this holiday.

Home for the Holidays

Bring festive cheer into your apartment with easy, stylish updates. Start with throw blankets and pillows in holiday tones like cranberry red, deep green, or snowy white. A small Christmas tree or a holiday wreath by your door can add instant charm without overwhelming your space.

Twinkling string lights are an effortless way to create a warm, magical glow. Hang them around your windows, drape them along shelves, or line your balcony railing for that holiday vibe. Add metallic touches with gold candleholders, shimmering ornaments, or a chic centerpiece to elevate your decor. Complete the look with candles or diffusers in seasonal scents like pine, cinnamon, or vanilla to make your apartment smell as festive as it looks.

Living at Rowan Pointe means celebrating the holidays as part of a vibrant community. Host a casual get-together with neighbors, like a cookie swap or a hot cocoa bar, to share the season’s joy and strengthen connections.

Setting Time Aside for Self-Care

Amid the holiday hustle, take time to slow down and recharge. Dedicate a cozy corner in your apartment with a comfy chair, a soft blanket, and your favorite warm drink.

Unwind with simple rituals like journaling, meditating, or soaking in the glow of your decorations. These small moments help you savor the magic of the season and keep stress at bay.

At Rowan Pointe, your apartment becomes your holiday haven. Celebrate with warmth, comfort, and festive vibes all season long.

Preparation is the secret to a stress-free holiday. Start by organizing your guest list and planning a menu that fits your space.

If your apartment includes a balcony or patio, set it up with soft lighting and blankets for a relaxing outdoor nook.

Creating Top 3 Tips

  1. Elevate Your Serving Space
    Use your kitchen counters or island to create a buffet-style setup. Incorporate small decorative elements like pumpkins, holiday-themed napkins, or candles to make it visually appealing.
  2. Set the Mood
    Arrange pillows and throws in the living room for added comfort. Dim overhead lights and use string lights or lamps for a warm glow. Play a holiday playlist softly in the background to keep the vibe upbeat but relaxed.

Coffee shops mean different things to different kinds of people, making it nearly impossible to compile a definitive list of the best coffee spots in a place. Do you want a place to chill on a laptop? A high-quality espresso? Ethiopian-influenced coffee?

Top Three Spots

Starbucks

While Starbucks is a global name, its roots are firmly planted in Seattle. The Starbucks at Pike Place Market serves a wide variety of drinks. Remember to try some of their exclusive Pike Place blends this summer.

Cafe Vita at KEXP

This place is arguably too Seattle-y; you can see the Space Needle and watch the KEXP DJs work. It is a perfect place to hang out and enjoy the beautiful space. Since it’s a Vita, the coffee quality is consistently excellent, and the café collaborates with various roasters for special events and residencies. They offer the best deal in town: drip coffee is just $1 before 8 a.m. on weekdays.

Elm Coffee Roasters

Elm Coffee Roasters offers a unique coffee experience with its small-batch, handcrafted roasts. Located just a short walk from Sequel Apartments, it’s an ideal place to unwind with a delicious cup of coffee. Their different flavors from countries like Colombia and Peru make them a favorite among locals.

Living at Sequel Apartments offers a fantastic community experience, especially during the summer. However, the warm weather requires extra attention to keep your pets safe and comfortable. Here are some essential pet safety tips to help you and your furry friends enjoy the season.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

To ensure your pet stays cool, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Use fans or air conditioning and keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day. Always provide fresh, cool water for your pet. Using a pet fountain can encourage them to drink more.

When taking your pet outside, plan walks for early morning or late evening when temperatures are lower. Before heading out, check the pavement temperature with your hand to prevent burns on your pet’s paws. Never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can rise dangerously fast. Cooling mats or damp towels for your pet to lie on can also help them stay cool indoors.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

Living in a community like Sequel Apartments gives you easy access to local pet care resources. Nearby pet shops offer various products designed to keep pets cool. Look for cooling vests, pet-safe ice packs, and portable water bottles at stores such as Mud Bay or All The Best Pet Care.

Grooming is essential during summer to manage your pet’s coat and keep them cooler. Many local groomers offer mobile services, bringing convenience directly to your apartment. Regular grooming helps prevent overheating and keeps your pet comfortable.

By following these summer safety tips and utilizing local pet care resources, you can ensure your pet stays cool and comfortable. Enjoy the warm weather with peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is safe and happy in your apartment community.

With summer on the horizon, it’s best to start preparing your house to welcome the warm weather. Apartment living at Sequel requires a few simple hacks to refresh and organize your space. You don’t have to worry about deep cleaning and stressful activities, your house can be ready for the balmy temperatures in under 24 hours.

Storing Winter and Spring Items, Bringing Out Summer Essentials

Among the activities involved in preparing your home for the summer is putting away items you don’t need. Before storage, clean the items to prevent odor and stains. Store delicate items in breathable bags and boxes. Label your storage containers with their contents and season. Switch to lighter sheets for the summer to avoid sweating at night. Percale and linen sheets can keep you cool in the warm weather.

Since you won’t need your winter clothes, store them in garment bags. Avoid plastics as they can trap moisture, favoring the growth of mildew. Cardboard boxes can be used for accessories and boots. Put your summer outfits at the front and move your winter clothes to the back of your closet. This allows you to rediscover old favorites and pair them with new designs.

Shop Local

Community living allows you to support local businesses while enjoying the warm weather. Consider taking a food tour at the local Pike Place Market. This iconic market is full of historical aspects and delicious local food. Food tours include early-bird testing, plant-based food tours, and seafood tasting. Shug’s Soda Fountain and Ice Cream offer a memorable summer treat.

Get a breathtaking view of the Seattle skyline by taking a ferry to Bainbridge Island. Sailing away from Colman Dock gives a clear view of the city. You can visit Bainbridge Island’s local shops and boutiques for a shopping adventure.

Living rooms are a major hosting zone in apartments and should be cozy and welcoming. Creative designer trends and DIY aesthetics can help you achieve this while maintaining your style. Here are a few modern apartment trends to help turn your Sequel apartment into a personalized aesthetic sanctuary.

DIY Mirrors, Decor, Oh My!

If you’re looking for inexpensive DIY decor ideas, woven wall baskets are a good alternative. They provide a simple way to add interest to your living space without spending too much time and resources. Moreover, many companies provide customizable word art that you can use to decorate your walls. You can use them to showcase an uplifting quote or a funny saying. Consider adding neon lighting to bring more life to your walls.

You can creatively spruce up your apartment mirrors to create a wall art statement. If you have a round mirror, you can start an inexpensive project that requires scrap wood to create a beachy sunburst mirror. A statement mirror is an easy way to make a blank wall stylish. The beachy sunburst mirror is solely a product of repurposed wood; therefore, it saves on materials and resources.

Budget-Friendly Designer Looks

You don’t need a lot of finances to style up your apartment living room. A bit of work and the right DIY aesthetics can impact a smaller space. Focusing on smaller details while choosing your decor and furniture can result in various styles that will elevate your small space. If you’re looking to change the overall design of your walls, consider adding a peel-and-stick wallpaper with a mix of bold colors and lively prints. Botanical accents complement simple white walls and other neutral colors in various rooms.

DIY Apartment Tricks

To create a stylish apartment living space, you must know when to save or spend. You don’t need designer pieces and expensive decor to make your living space appealing and stylish. With the right DIY aesthetics and tricks, you can achieve a cozy dream space.
