The start of a new year is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your living space. At Straits Row in Chicago’s South Loop, we believe that your apartment should reflect your aspirations and help you feel refreshed as you step into the months ahead. Here are some tips to help you reset your apartment for the new year.

Declutter Your Space

Begin the year with a clean slate by decluttering your apartment. Go room by room, sorting items into categories: keep, donate, recycle, or toss. This process not only clears your space but also helps clear your mind.

Deep Clean Your Apartment

A thorough cleaning can make your space feel brand new. Pay attention to often-overlooked areas like baseboards, windows, and appliances. Living at Straits Row makes it easy to maintain a clean and organized space with our modern amenities and spacious layouts.

Refresh Your Decor

Switching up your decor can bring new energy into your apartment. Consider adding pops of color with throw pillows, artwork, or rugs. You can also rearrange furniture to give your space a fresh look.

Introduce Greenery

Plants are a great way to add life to your apartment. They not only purify the air but also create a calming atmosphere. From low-maintenance succulents to leafy ferns, find greenery that suits your lifestyle.

Set Up an Organization System

Create designated spaces for everyday items to keep your apartment tidy. Use baskets, bins, and shelving to organize your belongings efficiently.

Add Personal Touches

Make your apartment feel like home by incorporating personal touches such as family photos, travel souvenirs, or DIY projects. These details make your space uniquely yours.

At Straits Row, we’re here to help you live your best life in a space you love. Start the new year off right by transforming your apartment into a haven of comfort and style. Or, you can move into a brand new, never-before lived in apartment at Straits Row.
