With summer well on its way, you've likely finished up your spring cleaning and getting prepared for the brightness of a new season. Make sure your Flagstaff apartment is ready for the warm weather with a few tips to brighten up the atmosphere.
Change to lighter window treatments.
Bringing in as much natural light as possible always makes it feel just a bit more like summer. If you currently have some heavier drapes, blinds, or shades on your apartment windows, consider swapping them out for some window treatments that are a bit more lightweight. For example, you will get a lot of nice natural light with a basic white shade and some sheer curtains.
Swap out darker area rugs for lighter or more vibrant colors.
Area rugs are an awesome addition to your apartment's interior, but even these can really affect the overall atmosphere. If you are using darker area rugs, it can change the brightness of the entire space, even if you are allowing in a lot of natural light. Try a nice lightweight woven rug in lighter colors to really brighten up a room. For instance, try a cream and white area rug with a low-pile construction in your living room, and it will instantly feel a lot more like summer.
Bring in some summertime flora.
Not every apartment dweller is a big fan of plants, but plants don't have to be living to induce the same kind of summer atmosphere as real ones do. It can really help to highlight the season if you track down either live or faux plants similar to those that grow naturally in the Flagstaff area.

The decision to attend college and move away from the comfort of your home is a big step, and it should not be taken lightly. Highland Village apartments in Flagstaff, AZ are one of the top options for student housing in the area because of how homey our community feels. To further assist in your acclimation to your new apartment, we’ve compiled some of the best tips to make your off-campus housing feel like your home away from home.
Photos & Decorations
One of the easiest ways to feel more at home is to bring in pictures of your loved ones and friends. Whether you are displaying pictures in frames or more creatively on string with clothespins, you can look at the smiles, laughter, and memories from back home every time you enter your room.
Another way to easily create a warm, homey feeling is to bring in decorations to your room. You can bring posters and knick-knacks from your childhood room, or you can go find new items that fit your current taste. If you’re on a budget, try out thrift shops. You never know what you might find!
Soft, Comfy Bedding & Seating
The transition from a spacious, comforting home to a college apartment may be challenging. You don’t have your loved ones to turn to whenever an overwhelming day hits. It’s common to feel a surge of emotions. One way to make your apartment feel more like home when a bad day strikes is to surround yourself with pillows and blankets. You can curl up and talk on the phone for hours. While they won’t replace hugs and one-on-one time, you can still feel surrounded by warmth.
The Perfect Student Housing Community
With so many students in the area, Flagstaff apartments are easy to find. However, we are the best community for students because we are incredibly inclusive and make the transition from home to college simple. Contact our front desk staff today to see what floor plans are available!
