How to Make Apartments in Chico California Cozy for Cooler Weather

Written by Hignell Rentals Team | November 5, 2013

Now that we see cooler and wetter weather on our horizon, it is time to get apartments in Chico California ready for the change in season. Or maybe you have the feeling of getting a little restless when you are living in the same apartment for years and want a change but you don’t want to move. Try the tips below and make your apartment cozy for winter.

Prepare Your Entry Way

With wet weather comes muddy shoes and umbrellas that will be brought into your apartment. Make room in the closet near the entry way for those coats that people will need to shed. If you don’t have a closet to spare, then you can always buy a stand-alone coat rack which will conveniently hold those umbrellas.

Add Warmth

To add warmth to your apartment, focus on physical warmth and the ambiance of warmth. Do this by throwing a nice warm blanket on your couch and adding candles throughout the room. Be selective with your candles, you don’t want to overdo it.

Decorations

If you are on a budget but still want to decorate for the fall and winter season, then find a few lanterns, bowls or vases that would be easy to put different objects in. You can put leaves, smaller pumpkins or gourds to celebrate the fall. Then for winter, you can switch out and put in pinecones, candy canes or cinnamon sticks. Getting creative and planning ahead will save you time and money.

Move Furniture

If you want some real change to your apartment, you can always move your furniture around to make the room look different. Do you have a limiting space that doesn’t allow a lot of creativity when it comes to your furniture? Then buy some slip covers to give your couch a new look or a table runner to spice up your dining room.

These are some great ways to make sure that your apartment is nice and cozy not only for you but for your guests too. Take care of your apartment by keeping your carpets and floors clean when mud is more likely to appear.
