Whether you’re moving across town or across Texas, a move can be both an exciting and unsettling process. To start with, you will have a new neighborhood to learn and a new living space to integrate into your routines. It can take a little time to make your new place feel like home again. Here are a few ways you can make your new San Antonio apartment feel like “home sweet home” again.
Unpack with Thought and Care
Once all of your possessions are in your new space, you can focus on how to set up your living space. The trick here is not to rush into battle. Take time to organize your belongings and consider where they might best serve you and your new world.
When it comes to making your living spaces more agreeable, it’s likely that you will still be moving things around well after your first week or month. We’ve all been there. The idea is to customize your space over time.
Make it Local
Whether you’re from San Antonio or new to the area, consider adding a splash of San Antonio’s unique culture and history to your new apartment space. Check out your neighborhood thrift stores and consignment shops to find great deals on items that will reaffirm your tastes and personality. Adding a touch of local flair is an excellent way to take ownership of your new San Antonio apartment.
Colorful and Cozy
Make it yours with colorful choices. Soft rugs, throws, blankets and cozy pillows can instantly make your space feel like home. Obviously, you will have your own rugs and throws to work with but if your new space calls for something more unique, don’t be afraid to experiment or reconsider colors and patterns. Of course, it’s important that your stuff works in your new space but sometimes that “stuff” can benefit from a few new cozy accessories.
Lighting is Key
You will likely be moving lamps and it can be a fun challenge to consider how to best light your new space. Lighting can really add dimension and character to your new living room or bedroom. Thanks to the advent of smart bulbs, you can adjust colors and dim according to your tastes and room preferences. It might seem a small thing, but a well-lit room can positively affect your mood.
