Tips For Furnishing Your Apartment 

A well furnished apartment with a gray, simplistic style that emphasizes what matters in the room

Given the current economic climate, most millennials are opting to live in apartments rather than try and get a home. With this in mind, we thought we’d dish out a few tips for making your apartment space feel like home. 

Discover Your Theme

Before you start buying furniture, plan out what you’d like the theme of your apartment to be. Maybe you love a traditional, country feel, or you want a chic modern decor. Perhaps you adore bright colors, or have a more muted approach to the tones of your apartment. Whatever the case, have a rough vision for your apartment. That way, once you’re fully furnished, you’ll appreciate your realized vision.

Measure, Measure, Measure

Before you purchase that sectional you’ve been eyeing, make sure you have the space for it. It helps to just measure all parts of your apartment so you’ll have a good sense of how much space you have. Taking a tape measure to the furniture store would also be a great idea, instead of trying to guess and risking having to return the furniture later.

Use Social Media

Social media is a great tool to find ideas. Pinterest, in particular, is something we use for all kinds of ideas for just about anything. Food, tattoos, arts and crafts, and just about anything else can be found on Pinterest; use that for inspiration. You can blend ideas together and make something unique to you.

Workout Ideas for Small Spaces

Everyone has wanted to shed those last few pounds off, or wanted to get ripped and quit their job to be a full-time Instagram model. But sometimes we don’t have the time or the money for a gym membership, and can only get in a quick workout in between other obligations or tasks throughout the day. We at Caprock Apartments want you to be productive and get that sexy summer bod, so we compiled a list of great workout ideas to get you shredded in no time!

Yoga

In a more health and wellness connected society, yoga is becoming a more well-known way to not only improve your mental and spiritual health. However, yoga can improve your physical health too. Yoga calls for holding complex poses for extended periods, meaning your muscles will get stronger and get more endurance over time. Endurance is important, especially if you want to protect your joints when doing more explosive movements. Flexibility is also a great plus of yoga, which can make your muscles more functional and toned across the full range of motion. Most importantly, you don’t need a ton of space or time to get in a good yoga session, Just get about a coffee table worth of space and you’re good to go.

Resistance Bands

So you may already be familiar with the basic exercises—squats, push-ups, and sit-ups were the staples of any elementary and middle school P.E class. And while those are still awesome exercises that you can do anywhere, did you know that you can make them even harder with resistance bands? Resistance bands allow you to take bodyweight exercises to the next level, without having to buy expensive dumbbells or workout machines. And they come in a huge variety that let you scale your way to ultimate strength and flexibility. Resistance bands can even be used as a warm up before you do your main workout, and you can find resistance band workouts all over the place if you do a little bit of research.

HIIT Cardio

Cardio is one of the best ways to shed some pounds and get a more toned, healthy look. But people often don’t think they can get quality cardio if they don’t have a treadmill, stair machine, or a lot of open space to work with. This is simply not true, because there’s a type of cardio called HIIT that can be done anytime, and anywhere. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training, which simply means that you exert near-maximum energy for short bursts of time, then rest and repeat. HIIT training has become wildly popular, and that’s mainly because of how the workout is structured. The human body sees the most change and benefit when it is at near-max effort, but normal people cannot sustain this for long periods. 20 seconds of intense high knees or burpees will definitely have you drenched, and then you’ll take 10 to 15 seconds to get your breath and get ready for the next set. 

Visiting Our Gym

Got a little more than a couple minutes on your hands? Then why not enjoy our well-stocked gym, where you can incorporate dumbbells and cardio machines into your normal workout routine. For the best results, you should have a blend of all of the above exercise ideas in your workout routine. That way, your body will be strong, flexible, and durable—not to mention you can finally be an Instagram model, yay!

Decorating Tips for Apartments

Decorating Tips for Apartments

happy couple in their new apartment flanked by boxes of their belongings It’s a great feeling when you finally move out of your parents’ house or a stuffy dorm room and into your very own apartment. Apartments offer great amenities, like gyms and pools, but decorating in one may be a bit harder than decorating a home. For one, apartments are usually a little smaller than houses, limiting the amount of space you have for paintings or cute furniture, and there are other restrictions you may have to follow. Despite this, there are many cute ways you can decorate your apartments and still get your security deposit back.

Tip #1: Make Use of Awkward Space

No matter where you live, you’re going to have awkward nooks, crannies, and spaces. Many times, these areas turn into dead space and many people miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of them. Whether it’s for decoration or extra storage, awkward spaces, such as those near the front door or in smaller nooks, can really come in handy. You could add an end table behind your front door or hooks in a small corner to hang jewelry, scarves, and even plants. Either way, that awkward space doesn’t have to go to waste!

Tip #2: Take Advantage of Nooks or Unused Closets

A trend we’ve seen floating around recently is turning tight spaces, like nooks or closets, into mini office spaces. Sliding in a small desk into these spaces is a great way to give yourself some extra working space, especially if these spaces weren’t going to good use beforehand. Add a few decorations, a good lamp, and office supplies and you’ve got yourself a great place to retreat and work on projects.

Tip #3: Add a Splash of Color

There are plenty of ways to get creative with color. Some of our favorite ideas include repainting and reupholstering furniture, putting up paintings and pictures, and throwing in some throw pillows. Adding a pop of color to your apartment can really bring it to life. Even just adding a few colorful placemats to your dining room table can help make your dining room shine.

Tip #4: Get Creative with Furniture Arrangement

While our apartments are spacious, there are still different ways you can maximize space. The best thing you can do is get creative with your furniture arrangement. Essentially, there’s a right way and there’s a wrong way for maximizing space. Some tips include to arrange your living room furniture for face to face conversation and enlarging the space by laying out your furniture diagonally in a room. You could also use your furniture to divide up rooms, such as your living room from your kitchen or vary the kind of seating you have, like including both chairs and couches.

Tip #5: Live in an Apartment You Love

No one wants to spend the time decorating an apartment they dislike. Our apartments are spacious, homey, and come with great amenities. Plus, you’ll have plenty of creative freedom when it comes to decorating them. So what are you waiting for? Contact Caprock Apartments today!
