How to Prep Your Apartment for Holiday Guests

The holiday season is a time for joy, connection, and celebration with friends and family. If you’re hosting guests in your apartment, it’s important to create a welcoming and comfortable environment. At RPM Living, we understand that preparing your space can be both exciting and overwhelming.
Here are some essential tips to help you get your apartment ready for holiday guests!

Declutter and Organize

Before your guests arrive, take the time to declutter your apartment. Go through each room and remove items that don’t belong or are no longer needed. A tidy space not only looks better, but also helps create a more inviting atmosphere. Consider using storage bins or decorative baskets to keep things organized and out of sight.

Decluttering Tips:
Focus on common areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Clear off surfaces like countertops and tables to create a clean look.
Use a “one in, one out” rule to maintain organization.

Create a Welcoming Entryway

Your entryway sets the tone for your guests as soon as they arrive. Make sure it’s clean and inviting. Consider adding a seasonal welcome mat, fresh flowers, or a small decorative piece to greet your guests. Ensure there’s enough space for coats and shoes, and consider adding a small bench or hooks for convenience.

Prepare the Guest Room

If you have a designated guest room, make it cozy and comfortable. Change the sheets and pillowcases, and provide extra blankets and pillows for added comfort. Consider adding thoughtful touches like a small bedside lamp, a clock, and some reading material.
If your guests will be staying for more than a day, consider providing them with storage space for their belongings.

Guest Room Essentials:
Fresh linens and blankets
Extra pillows and towels
Personal touches like a welcome note

Stock Up on Supplies

Make sure you have all the essentials stocked up for your guests. This includes extra toiletries, fresh towels, and plenty of toilet paper. If you’re hosting meals, ensure your kitchen is well-stocked with ingredients and snacks.

Consider preparing some dishes in advance, so you can spend more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen.

Set Up the Living Area

Create a comfortable and inviting living space where guests can relax and enjoy each other's company. Arrange seating to encourage conversation, and consider adding throw pillows and blankets for a cozy touch. Make sure there’s adequate lighting, whether it’s from lamps or battery-powered candles, to create a warm ambiance.

Plan Activities and Entertainment

Think ahead about activities or entertainment options for your guests. Whether it’s holiday movie marathons, board games, or cooking together, having a plan can help ensure everyone has a great time. Make sure to have a selection of games and movies available, and consider creating a festive playlist to set the mood.

Set the Table in Advance

If you’re hosting a holiday meal, setting the table in advance can save you time and stress. Choose a festive table setting that reflects the season. Consider adding lights or a centerpiece for a special touch. If you have limited dining space, you can also use trays or lap desks to create a cozy dining experience in your living area.

Embrace the Holiday Spirit

Finally, don’t forget to infuse your space with the holiday spirit! Decorate your apartment with seasonal décor like garlands, ornaments, and lights. Incorporate scents of the season with simmer pots or essential oils. These touches will help create a festive atmosphere that your guests will love.

Preparing your apartment for holiday guests can be a fun and rewarding experience. By decluttering, organizing, and adding personal touches, you can create a warm and inviting space for your friends and family to enjoy. At RPM Living, we wish you a joyful and memorable holiday season filled with laughter and connection. Happy hosting!

Fall Cleaning Tips: Refresh Your Space for the Season

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, fall is the perfect time to refresh your living space. At RPM Living, we believe that a clean and organized home sets the stage for cozy gatherings and relaxation as the holiday season approaches. Here are some effective fall cleaning tips to help you get your apartment ready for autumn.

Start with a Declutter

Before diving into the deep cleaning, take time to declutter each room in your apartment. Go through your belongings and identify items you no longer need or use. Consider donating or recycling these items to create a more open and inviting space. A clutter-free environment can make cleaning easier and more enjoyable.

Decluttering Tips:
Use the “One Year Rule”: If you haven't used it in a year, consider letting it go.
Sort items into categories: Keep, donate, recycle, and trash.
Tackle one room or area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Focus on Windows and Doors

Fall cleaning is an excellent opportunity to clean your windows and doors, allowing natural light to brighten your space. Use a glass cleaner or a homemade solution of water and vinegar to wipe down windows. Don’t forget to clean the screens and door frames, removing any dust or cobwebs that may have accumulated over the summer.

Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs

With the change in season, it’s a good idea to give your carpets and rugs a thorough cleaning. Vacuum regularly, but consider steam cleaning or hiring a professional service to eliminate deep-set dirt and allergens. This is particularly important if you have pets or if anyone in your home suffers from allergies.

Revive Your Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of your home, and a deep clean will ensure it’s ready for fall cooking and holiday baking. Empty your pantry and fridge, checking expiration dates on food items. Wipe down shelves, and organize your pantry for easy access to ingredients. Don’t forget to clean your appliances, including the oven and microwave, to maintain a spotless cooking space.

Kitchen Cleaning Checklist:
Clean inside and behind appliances.
Sanitize countertops and cutting boards.
Organize your utensils and kitchen gadgets.

Give Your Bathroom a Makeover

Your bathroom deserves some attention, too! Start by decluttering medicine cabinets and drawers. Discard expired products and any items you no longer use. Clean your shower, toilet, and sink with appropriate cleaners, and don’t forget to scrub the floors. Consider adding autumn-inspired décor, like scented oils or decorative towels, to create a cozy atmosphere.

Organize Your Closets

As the weather changes, so does your wardrobe. Take the time to switch out summer clothes for fall and winter wear. Organize your closet by season, and consider using vacuum-sealed bags for off-season items to save space. This is also a great time to evaluate your clothing: if you haven’t worn it in the last year, it might be time to donate it.

Create a Cleaning Schedule

To maintain a clean home throughout the fall, create a cleaning schedule that breaks tasks into manageable chunks. Designate specific days for certain tasks, such as vacuuming, dusting, and laundry. This will help you stay on track and prevent overwhelm.

Add a Touch of Fall Décor

Once your cleaning is done, it’s time to embrace the fall spirit! Incorporate seasonal décor such as pumpkins, cozy throws, and warm-toned accents. This will not only beautify your space but also make it feel inviting and warm as the temperatures drop.

Fall cleaning is a great way to prepare your home for the cozy season ahead. By decluttering, deep cleaning, and organizing your space, you can create a welcoming environment perfect for autumn gatherings. At RPM Living, we believe that a clean home enhances your living experience, allowing you to focus on the joys of the season. Happy cleaning!

Move-In Checklist For Our RPM Living Apartments

Getting ready to move into one of our RPM Living apartments across the US? We can’t wait to welcome you to your new home! As you prepare for move-in day, there are a few items to make sure you have in order so that your move-in day goes smoothly. Here is a handy checklist to keep your moving arrangements on track and avoid unnecessary hassle.

Sign Your Lease Documents

Step one is of course to make sure your leasing documents are signed by all involved parties, including yourself, any other tenants sharing the apartment with you, and a leasing agent. You should receive a copy of your signed leasing documents once they have been processed, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our leasing office if there are any hiccups with our automated system or you are still waiting for a leasing agent to sign.

Provide Proof of Renter’s Insurance

In accordance with your lease agreement, you’ll need to provide proof of renter’s insurance prior to moving in. Ensure that the coverage meets the requirements set out in your leasing document and please list your RPM Living apartment as an interested party on your policy so that we can be updated with this information. If you have any questions about renter’s insurance requirements or need a recommendation for an insurance provider, don’t hesitate to reach out to our leasing team.

Pay Pet Deposit (if Applicable)

If you are moving in with a pet, you’ll need to ensure that you have paid the pet deposit and pet fee prior to move-in. You’ll also need to provide a few details about your pet(s) including their name, age, and breed. These details also help us return your pet to you if they are ever lost or wandering outside of your RPM Living apartment without your supervision. If you adopt a new pet after moving in, please be sure to update our office with your new pet information.

Pay Security Deposit

A security deposit is a refundable fee paid at the beginning of your residency in order to help cover the cost of any damages to your apartment that may result during your stay. This deposit must be paid prior to moving in and will be paid back to you minus any repair costs when you end your residency at any RPM Living apartment community.

Provide Vehicle Information

If you have a car that will be parked in our community, we ask that you provide a few key details including its license place number, make, model, and year. This helps us ensure that we are able to meet the parking needs of all our residents and maintain the security of our community by ensuring that all vehicles are authorized to be parked here.
