Your apartment should be your own personal sanctuary-a place of peace and tranquility, where you can come home after a long day of stress, kick off your shoes, unwind, and enjoy yourself. This is especially true for those with high-stress jobs such as teachers, medical professionals, or law enforcement agents.
Some apartment communities are full of the hustle and bustle that you're trying to escape from. If your current home is causing you more stress than you like, then look no further than the newly built Villa Regale Apartments, located in the heart of McAllen, TX.
This brand new luxurious apartment community in North McAllen provides a carefree environment, and comes with amenities that will get your mind off your problems in no time, including a 24-hour controlled gate access, gourmet coffee service, a resort-style pool, a theater room, and free Wi-Fi in all common areas. And that's only the beginning!
If you're ready to embrace a stress-free lifestyle then get ready to call Villa Regale your new home. Also, don't forget the following stress-free home decor tips to make your apartment a place of serenity and calmness.
1) Unload some of that "stuff."
We all have it-stuff. Bulky items, furniture, exercise equipment, and other junk that we've collected over the years that just sits around the house, gathering dust, and taking up space. Unload yourself of some of this stuff to relieve some stress. Get rid of anything that you haven't used in a year and any paperwork you don't need. Unloading this heavy burden of "stuff" will make you feel lighter and less stressed.
2) Cut down on noise pollution.
There's always the occasional neighbor that might make more noise than you'd like, and those thoughtless cars that honk at night, but you can't just yell at everyone to be quiet without creating more stress. However, you can add bulky curtains to your windows, throw down some area rugs, and decorate your walls to cut down on some of that noise pollution. A quiet home means a calm home.
3) Can't you just smell the peace?
Smell is a powerful sense that can affect the way we feel. Bad odors make us feel uncomfortable, while fragrances such as lavender can help us to feel calm while soothing anxieties. Fresh smells can provide us with the peaceful environment we need to reduce our stress, so consider using essential oils, potpourri, air fresheners, or even scented candles to help you achieve that feeling of serenity. Some of the best fragrances to use in your home include peppermint, lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang.
4) Color away that stress.
Color, just like smell, is another simple tool that can be used to positively change your mood. Flat, matte finished colors can help to soften your home and help to provide a calming environment. Also consider keeping the design of your home minimal and cohesive. While bold, color-clashing decor may work for some, it may make you feel a bit chaotic. Do a little bit of investigating to find out which colors have a calming effect on you and which to avoid.
5) A little music and a little food go a long way.
Listening to a smooth, slow tempo song can help to lower your blood pressure, increase optimism, and ease muscle tension. Even if classical music isn't your forte, some pop music can decrease your frustration. Make sure you're listening to music that doesn't boost your adrenaline. If you add a little music to a cooking session, you can help to decrease tension and increase your serotonin levels (which is the chemical associated with the feelings of well-being and happiness).
6) Au naturale.
Don't forget to add a little bit of the outside world into your home. Some fresh flowers, indoor plants, or even paintings or photos of natural landscapes can help to provide you with a breath of fresh air-both literally and figuratively. In fact, studies have shown that indoor plants provide some great health benefits, and can reduce drowsiness, headaches, and cold-related illness because of how they purify and improve air quality in the home.
7) Clean up.
Sometimes all it takes to destress your home is just a good cleaning. A dirty kitchen, dusty shelves, a disorganized bedroom, or simple untidiness can add to your stress.
Instead, let our gorgeous apartment homes provide you the comfort you deserve. Our spacious one- and two-bedroom floor plans include granite countertops, walk-in closets, Himalaya Beige tile, private master baths, and more.
