Add fresh plants for a pop of color and better air quality in your apartment.

We all know and love the major holidays that are celebrated in the United States– we usually get a day off work, we get to enjoy holiday festivities, and the overall feel to the holiday gives us the “warm and fuzzies”. Still, there are plenty of lesser known celebrations that go on throughout the year that we may not regularly observe. This year, try to celebrate some of these off the wall holidays in your apartment!

Many of these holidays are about your health or your environment. For example, February is National Care About Your Indoor Air Month. Your indoor air quality actually has major effects on your health, so it’s something important to think about. Here are a few ideas on how to improve the indoor air quality in your apartment:

  • Vacuum and dust regularly to keep dust, pet hair, and other contaminates out of the air and out of your lungs.
  • Open the windows every once in a while. Letting fresh air into your space helps to keep the air fresh and clean, as well as adding a rejuvenated feel to your apartment.
  • Add some greenery and some fresh air assistance to your apartment with air purifying plants. Some help more than others, so Apartment Therapy compiled a great list of perfect additions for your TriBridge apartment.
  • Make sure that maintenance regularly changes the air filters in your apartment.
How do you keep your Indo0r Air Quality high?

Host a romantic dinner that your date will remember for years in your TriBridge apartment.

Valentine’s Day can be an expensive and daunting holiday. If you plan for a romantic dinner, you have to find a restaurant with available reservations, pay for an expensive dinner, and deal with the lines and crowds that are out an about. Have you thought about enjoying your Valentine’s Day date in your apartment instead of out on the town? You can host a romantic dinner from the comfort of your home in your TriBridge community, creating a setting that’s more special and personal while also saving a few bucks. Here are few tips on how to host a fantastic Valentine’s Day date night at your place:

  • Clean your apartment. While this may seem obvious, now is not the time to have your clutter out and about. Make sure your space is tidy and fresh.
  • Set the stage. Part of the reason we go out for Valentine’s Day is the romantic ambiance of the restaurants. Set your own romantic stage with flowers, candles, and soft music.
  • Know your date’s culinary preferences, and plan accordingly. Before you prepare to cook dinner, know what your date likes or doesn’t like, as well as any allergies they have. If you’re making something new to you, practice it a few times and have friends do a taste test to ensure date night turns out well.

Make the most of your apartments space and fall in love with small space living.

Have you noticed the new trends leaning towards small space living? From eco-chic miniature cabins in the middle of forests to petite apartments in bustling cities, small space living is in. While this idea is the current trend, small space living is a timeless choice that gives apartment dwellers an upper hand.

Eco Salon recently shared a post on the “30 Best Quotes on Living Small.” Here are a few of our favorites, and how you live them out every day in your TriBridge apartment:

Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. -William Morris

Apartment living, even in the spacious floor plans available with TriBridge, dictates that, for the most part, residents cut down on their clutter and downsize their lives. It’s not about sacrificing your wants or needs: It’s about loving the space that you have and getting rid of the clutter so that you make the most of your time, space, and life.

One can furnish a room very luxuriously by taking out furniture rather than putting it in. -Francis Jourdain

Apartments have lay outs specifically tailored to facilitate your life. There are clear traffic areas and clear living spaces where you can get creative with your decor. Apartments provide you with the space you need to live, but in a way that lets you “curate” your style and aesthetic into creative small spaces.
