You’re looking for an apartment in St. Albert. Once you move in, are you wondering how you’re going to create a new space that feels like home? No worries… moving is very exciting! It’s a great chance to start fresh, shop for fun decor, and truly enjoy your life. Here are 8 helpful tips to help you move in, decorate and love your new home:
Use well-established design techniques – Once you start setting up your new place, focus on interior design basics. Try adding a large throw rug to help define an area. You can also toss a cozy blanket and some throw pillows onto the couch to augment with pops of color, use vertical shelving or tall bookcases for storage and decoration, and be sure to hide those unsightly cords and cables.
Sprinkle art and photos around – It feels like home when you’re surrounded by items that inspire you, remind you of good memories and make you feel happy. Choose some of your fave photos to post on your fridge and display in frames on your bookshelf and around the apartment. Then enhance the look with your favorite decorative pieces, art and personal items to add those warm, homey touches.
Create atmosphere with plants and lamps – Placing plants throughout your decor is a simple way to add natural beauty to your apartment. Greenery brings good energy into any space. If you don’t have a green thumb, there are some great, hassle-free fake plants out there.
Using lamps is a great way to add some extra ambience and pleasant low light to various areas around your apartment. Look for lamps with appealing textures, unique finishes and interesting colors to create your own decorative style.
Stock your kitchen – Having the basics on hand along with some of your favorite foods helps you feel like you’re truly home. It’s a treat to be able to fix a meal or snack while you’re chilling in your pjs, so make sure you shop for the essentials soon after you move in.
Meet your apartment community staff and ask about special deals – Part of living in a great place includes having a positive overall community experience. You need a staff that cares about what matters to you. It’s worth taking the time to introduce yourself to the team at your complex, say hello when you see them and ask about special activities or events they may be hosting.
Also be sure to inquire about any special deals. For example, Herma Drummond-Carthy, Community Director at Gateway Gardens Apartments in St. Albert, Alberta says, “We want to stand out from our competitors. That’s why we decided to cover the cost of our residents’ utilities, so they don’t have to worry about the extra expense of trash, electricity and heat every month.”
Help your pets settle in – You’ve chosen a pet-friendly community, and it’s important to help Spot or Fluffy feel at home too. Put the food and water bowl out and set up the bed. Take your dog for a little walk around the apartment complex and the surrounding community so you can both start getting familiar with the neighborhood.
Check out your new location – Drummond-Carthy, whose apartment complex is in the Grandin area of St. Albert, says people choose to live there because it’s conveniently close to shopping, banking, schools, and major bus routes. “They also like to walk to or enjoy picnics at Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park because it's just steps away from our front door,” she said.
Enjoy your new home – After your boxes are unpacked, your space is decorated and you’ve stocked your kitchen, make a point to stay home few nights a week, cook some yummy meals and lounge around in comfort. The more time you spend actually enjoying your apartment, the more it'll feel like home sweet home.
