  • Repot the plants
  • Print holiday photos
  • Organize the closet
  • Arrange the books

Does this sound like your home to-do list? If yes, then there is no better time than now to check things off. We are spending most of the day indoors, have more time on our hands (or so it would seem), and have plenty of online and offline inspiration to draw from. So, let’s get creating!

Get some green on your thumbs: Spending time caring for your plants is one of the best ways to decompress. If you have plants that need a soil refresh, or one that has grown too big for its planter, repotting is the answer. Never done it before? There are plenty of videos that teach you how to do it. We love The Sill, because of the practical and insightful suggestions they give. Learn all about repotting from the masters.

Put up your gorgeous photos: Let’s be honest. The digital album on your phone is not too different from your grandmother’s dusty picture albums. Photos go there and seldom see the light of day. Now is a great time to bring out those snapshots and put them up for all to enjoy. From mismatched frames to random ordering, there are several ways to show off your photos.

Easily organize your spaces: Organizing your space has gone from being a mindless chore to being a wellness practice. From Marie Kondo, the most-talked about personality in home organization to Gretchen Rubin, author of the best-selling book, The Happiness Project, there are several accomplished individuals ready to advise you on different ways to organize your rooms and closets.

Turn your book collection into art pieces: In the fast-paced lives we lead, we seldom have time to relax with a book, let alone organize our paperbacks and hardcovers. There is no time like now to get creative and not only arrange but also display books. Many of our apartments feature built-in bookshelves, something residents love. Use them in an interesting way by breaking up how you stack the books and reimagining the space. No built-in shelves? You’ll be surprised at the spaces you have overlooked.

Today, we share some tips on designing your workspace effectively so you can truly focus on the tasks at hand. Set up a separate space: Some apartments and homes come with a study room or an alcove, but if yours doesn’t you can create it by dividing the room using movable items . Place a plant or bookshelf in between your living room furniture and your work desk and chair. This way you will have a work zone that is separate from the rest of the room.
