Feeling comfortable in a space that you created can reduce stress, boost energy, and provide a sense of accomplishment and familiarity.<\/p>\n<p>At Bethesda, we recognize that <i>how<\/i> you decorate your new home is as important as the move itself. That\u2019s why we not only encourage residents to customize their apartments, but also offer extensive support to make their interior design dreams a reality.<\/p>\n<p>We have a few guidelines for the structural modifications you can make to a senior living apartment, but beyond those guidelines, the sky&#8217;s the limit. Here are some suggestions and additional information for customizing <a href=\"https:\/\/bethesdahealth.org\/blog\/2023\/06\/28\/retire-in-style-the-benefits-of-bethesdas-senior-independent-living-apartments\/\">your Bethesda apartment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ideas for Decorating Your Bethesda Senior Living Apartment<\/h2>\n<p>Every Bethesda independent living resident brings their own style, taste, and preferences to their new home. There\u2019s no right or wrong way to decorate your apartment, but if you have lived in your current home for a long time, you might not be sure where to begin. Some ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Functional furniture: Bigger pieces, such as a sectional couch or a large dining table, could make your new apartment feel cramped. Consider cozier furniture\u2014more suited for apartments\u2014that emphasizes comfort and allows you to easily move about.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Light colors: At Bethesda, we allow residents to customize the color of their walls and ceilings. Your taste and preferences are a big factor in what paint color you choose, but you can never go wrong with lighter colors. White, yellow, light blue, or beige can make your apartment feel brighter and more spacious. Darker furniture can create a sharp contrast that makes elements of your apartment stand out even more.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sneaky storage: Bookshelves, storage ottomans, entertainment centers, and chests are more than just furniture\u2014they allow you to store things (including books, board games, jigsaw puzzles, and photo albums) and minimize clutter.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Window treatments: Natural sunlight not only brightens your apartment but also brightens your mood. Whether you opt for blinds or curtains, choose a window treatment that lets the sunshine in\u2014and can be adjusted if it gets too bright.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Practical considerations: As much as you want to make your Bethesda apartment your own, you also want to be safe in your new space. This might include secure rugs or slip-resistant flooring, clear paths around the apartment (especially from the bedroom to the bathroom), and furniture that\u2019s easy to sit into and stand up from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/21230352\/c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078\" class=\"hs-cta-img aligncenter\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/21230352\/c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078.png\" alt=\"Download our Move-in Readiness checklist today to make your move smooth and hurdle free!\u00a0\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(21230352, 'c2d5b5f6-0098-4bab-8176-58fcdf2f4078', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<h2>Ideas for Personalizing Your Bethesda Senior Living Apartment<\/h2>\n<p>Besides decorating your new apartment as you choose, you can also personalize your space. Some of the personal touches we encourage include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sentimental items: A fresh start in your new home shouldn\u2019t mean giving up keepsakes and items that hold sentimental value. That old rocking chair or that vintage framed photograph may have a story behind it, so don\u2019t be shy about including such things in your apartment.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Pictures, pictures, pictures: Proudly display photos of your family throughout your new apartment. Whether your pictures are hanging on the walls or residing on a table, framed photos not only remind you of your loved ones, but also draw the eyes of visitors, opening up opportunities for conversation. The move can also provide an opportunity to build new photo collage frames, giving your apartment a fresh look through familiar faces.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 500;\" aria-level=\"1\">Artwork: The artwork you hang on your walls reflects your aesthetic and can be calming, inspirational, sentimental, or even functional. Our team can help you mount your artwork\u2014as well as photos and televisions\u2014so that all you need to worry about is what to hang and where.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bethesda\u2019s <i>Moving with Ease<\/i> Program<\/h2>\n<p>At Bethesda, we mean it when we say we\u2019re here to help with your move to one of our senior living apartments. <a href=\"https:\/\/info.bethesdahealth.org\/moving-with-ease\">Our <i>Moving with Ease<\/i> program<\/a> provides future residents with up to $3,000 of moving assistance when they reserve a Bethesda apartment.
