How to Create Smooth Feng Shui in Your Riverside Park Apartment For the New Year

Stylish,Interior,Of,Bedroom,With,Green,Houseplants

Smooth feng shui can help the flow of good chi in your apartment. Here’s how you can fill your Riverside Park apartment with good chi.

Brightening up Your Apartment for the New Year

Smooth feng shui is a Chinese belief system that chooses how certain things should be in a home. For example, it tells you how to organize your apartment furniture to let in more light and allow good chi to flow through your apartment.

Color is a significant element of feng shui. It is connected to numerous feng shui principles and used by feng shui practitioners to adjust the energy of places and people. Every color is related to a different type of energy. For example, green represents renewal, fresh energy, and regeneration. It would be the perfect choice of color to help you achieve a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.

Decorations that Transition Out of 2021 and Into 2022

One of the benefits of feng shui is that it lasts all year round and transitions well from one year to another because it is a living principle. Feng shui is all about incorporating the five elements into your apartment. You don’t have to include all five details in your home; however, you can choose one or more components that best connect with your energy and the atmosphere you are trying to create within your apartment. It’s all about achieving the perfect balance.

Some elements to incorporate into your January 2022 décor are:

  • Wood
  • Metal (industrial looks)

Fulfilling Your New Year Resolutions

Now that you have good chi flowing throughout your apartment, you can focus on fulfilling your other New Year’s resolutions. Step outdoors for some fresh air. Visit Hunter Park and refresh your mind while being surrounded by nature.

How To Survive The Heatwaves In Your Reno Apartment

It’s never fun to receive a bill for utilities that’s much higher than you expect it to be. Fortunately, with apartment living, there are ways to keep your home cool while saving money.  Riverside Park is committed to helping residents stay cool and comfy during the summer heat. Whether you choose to enjoy a movie in an air-conditioned theater or want to enjoy one of our great outdoor amenities, you have many options for staying cool and saving money.

Enjoy Our Outdoor Amenities

During the summer, avoid using your stove during the heat of the day. Instead, please take advantage of one of our fantastic outdoor cooking and BBQ spaces. Complete with grills and seating, you and your family can enjoy a great meal while keeping the summer heat out of your home. Enjoying outdoor amenities is apartment 101!

Rental-Friendly Ways to Cool Down Your Home

Most electricity companies recommend turning your thermostat to one temperature and leaving it there. That way, the air conditioner doesn’t have to work quite as hard to keep the home cool at night. Setting your thermostat to a higher temperature while you’re at work, then lowering it when you come home, can increase your electricity bill. You can also set it to automatic which will allow your device to turn off on its own once a certain temperature has been reached. 

Local Attractions That Will Help You Keep Cool

Why not take advantage of the many shopping malls or indoor activities in your community to stay cool? Reno is home to the National Automobile Museum. So, what are you waiting for — Learn something new while enjoying the lower temperatures at the museum!

Disheveled bedding

The best days start after a good night’s rest! That is because eight hours of sleep can improve your quality of life! A good night’s sleep improves your energy, your mood, and your immune system! 

But for many of us, getting 7 to 8 hours of good sleep is just a dream. Instead of tossing and turning each night, why not turn your Riverside Park apartment’s bedroom into a sleep sanctuary. 

Here’s how:

Begin with the Sheets

There is no better feeling than climbing into a bed that has fresh sheets. Using high-quality materials for your sheets not only means that they will last longer, but they will also feel so comfy that you will not want to get out of bed.

Thread count and fiber length are two things to consider. Long-staple cotton is best because it creates longer and finer yarns.  Both make for a luxurious feel and a comfortable night’s sleep.

Your Bedroom Scent Makes a Difference

Choose soothing scents like lemongrass and vanilla. They both are proven to create a relaxing atmosphere. Use candles, automatic air sprays, or essential oil diffusers to fill your bedroom with those calming scents.

The Soothing Sound of Water

Add a soothing water fountain to your bedroom. The gentle sound of running water can help you drift off into a stress-free state. Small indoor fountains are compact and add to your décor. 

Keep It Clean

It can be hard to unwind in a messy room. Add a storage bench to the end of the bed. It will help keep your bedroom in your Reno apartment a bit more organized. It also encourages pets to sleep on the bench instead of in your bed.

Get a Down Comforter 

Speaking of warmth, a down comforter is one of the best ways to keep warm and cozy. Nothing says sleep sanctuary more than being under a plush-down comforter.

And for the warmer months, make sure your bedroom is anywhere between 60 and 67 degrees. Fans and the right sheets can help keep you cool at night.

These tips to creating a peaceful sleep sanctuary in your Riverside Park Apartment in Reno.

Summertime Fun in Reno

summertime fun in RenoIt is summertime and that means outdoor grilling time.  Your Reno apartment has so many great amenities including a barbecue and picnic area. So, why not invite a few friends or neighbors over to your Reno apartment for a summertime barbecue.  Instead of just serving up the same old burgers, dogs, and potato salad, why not try these twists on some outdoor grilling classics.

Burgers and Hot Dogs – They are a grilling staple, but instead of serving them plain, add some cheese, bacon and barbecue sauce to your burgers and split your dogs and stuff them with cheese.  To really make them special you can create a topping platter and include onions, peppers, chipotle ketchup, pickles, lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, radishes, baby spinach, and other fresh vegetables or sauces.

Shrimp on the Barbie isn’t just for those down under.  Buy peeled frozen shrimp and defrost it, add garlic, butter and salt, and pepper, and cook it in tin foil. Delicious!

Potato Salad is another barbecue classic, but why not dress it up a bit.  Garden fresh scallions or radishes can really add a refreshing touch.  You can also serve the potato salad in lettuce cups for a creative and delicious twist to this summertime favorite.

Looking for a healthier dessert option?  We have the answer! Skewer some pineapple slices, or fresh peaches and plums.  Cook them on the grill and then drizzle them with caramel sauce.

Make decorating easy with matching plates and napkins.  You can fill some inexpensive mason jars or water bottles with fresh flowers.

Do you want to enjoy a barbecue without cooking? No worries, Brothers Barbecue, located on Central Street, has some of the BEST pulled pork, brisket, sausage & ribs around. 

Enjoy these great outdoor grilling tips for a relaxing evening at your Reno, Nevado apartment at Riverside Park.
