Moving into a new apartment is a fresh start — and at The Davis Community in Wilmington, retirement living offers the perfect opportunity to design a space that reflects your unique style, values and passions. Whether you’re settling into a spacious senior apartment at The Residences or a charming cottage, personalizing your home can add joy and comfort to every day.
Here Are Five Creative Ways to Make Your Senior Apartment Truly Your Own:
1. Showcase Meaningful Memories
Surround yourself with photos, artwork and keepsakes that celebrate your life journey. Whether it’s a framed photo of a favorite travel destination, family portraits or a cherished piece of art, incorporating personal memories helps your new residence feel warm and familiar. Gallery walls, shadow boxes or floating shelves are stylish ways to share your story visually.
2. Incorporate Your Favorite Colors
Adding pops of your favorite colors through throw pillows, rugs, curtains or accent walls brings personality to your space. Light, airy tones can open a room, while rich hues can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. At The Davis Community, residents enjoy thoughtfully designed spaces, making it easy to tailor each room to your own aesthetic.
3. Add a Touch of Greenery
Houseplants not only brighten up your apartment but also support a sense of calm and wellness. Consider low-maintenance plants like succulents, snake plants or peace lilies. Not only do they add life to your decor, but they also contribute to a healthier indoor environment — perfectly complementing The Davis Community’s wellness-focused lifestyle.
4. Design a Purposeful Corner
Create a cozy reading nook, craft station or meditation space — whatever brings you joy. Personalizing a corner of your home for a specific activity adds purpose and gives you something to look forward to every day. Residents at The Davis Community enjoy a lifestyle rich in engagement and enrichment, and your home should be a reflection of that.
5. Mix the Old with the New
Blending cherished heirlooms with modern pieces gives your apartment character and depth. A favorite antique chair can pair beautifully with a sleek side table, or a vintage lamp can sit atop a contemporary bookshelf. This balance of past and present helps make your apartment both stylish and sentimental.
