The holiday season is finally here! And if you plan on hosting a festive feast, then it’s time to deck the halls and decorate your home with immaculate and trendy items! Now, you might think apartments are too small to fill with holiday decorations, but that’s not the case at Westlake Medows Apartments. So grab your boughs of holly and get ready to spread a little holiday cheer throughout your home!

Decorations That Transition From Christmas & Into the New Year

When decorating your apartment, always work smarter, not harder. When you choose decorations suitable for Christmas and the New Year, you save yourself hours of potential work. The best way to do this is to opt for a general winter theme, adding minor holiday touches throughout. For example, instead of a traditional Santa ornament, you might choose a minimalist golden elf.

A Checklist for Creating a Winter Wonderland In Your Apartment

Creating a winter wonderland in your apartment is easy when you live close to Oregon’s local shopping scene. If you’re going for a general winter theme, a few must-have items are here.

Trending Christmas items come and go each year, but walking in a winter wonderland never gets old. With this simple checklist of things, you’ll be well on your way.

Keeping Your Festive Decoration Through The New Year

Keep your Christmas decor through the New Year and be as festive as possible throughout the rest of 2021. And, when you create a holiday theme that covers both occasions, you’re more likely to enjoy your space longer. At Westlake Medows, each apartment features cozy wood-burning fireplaces with mantles–perfect for displaying your snowy decorations. And when the holiday season is all wrapped up, you can store your decorations in one of our walk-in closets.

Besides the roast turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pies, Thanksgiving is ideal for gathering and spending some time with your friends and family. If you’re hosting the Thanksgiving dinner this year, you might be worried if the space in your Westlake Meadows Apartment is enough to accommodate your expected guests. Here is how you can plan and prepare well for a memorable and delightful Thanksgiving dinner party. You could also get some tips on structuring apartment kitchens and creating ample space to move around.

Prepare a Guest List

Your apartment space may be limited in terms of the number of people you can accommodate. It would be best to prepare a guest list to guarantee the comfort of your guests and know the number of people you’ll expect (you’ll need this for the menu too).

A guest list also allows you to plan for the guests who’ll bring their kids, along with the best activities to keep them excited throughout. It’s also prudent to plan on airport pick-ups and sleeping arrangements after your guests confirm attendance.

Menu Plan and Organization

A good menu plan and kitchen organizational strategy will come in handy during Thanksgiving preparations. Due to the limited space, cooking in an apartment kitchen can be quite hectic. You can free up and make your kitchen more spacious and efficient by moving any unnecessary items into storage containers.

A meal plan will help guide you on the amount of food and turkey to purchase and prepare for your guests. Starting with the guest list, you’ll also know what foods to avoid.

Prepare a Guest List

The first step to planning a memorable holiday dinner is to manage a guest list. Start mapping out a guest list to celebrate the holiday in your charming home. Add fun holiday game ideas into the mix for an even more memorable holiday.

Take an inventory of your space to make sure you have room to accommodate all guests. Keep in mind that adding holiday game ideas into the Thanksgiving festivities may require additional preparation.

Menu Plan and Organization

Once you have your guest list mapped out, you can move on to the next step. Start menu planning and apartment organization! Observe your current setup to decide how you can accommodate guests.

If you don’t have enough pots and pans, a quick trip to the local grocery store for disposable cookware and disposable plates can solve the problem.

Fitting all of your guests into your apartment doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Make the best use of your space by using folding tables and chairs to seat and serve your guests.

Cooking in an Apartment Kitchen

Cooking in an apartment kitchen is easier when you plan your cooking strategy. Plan each dish according to the time required to cook it and how much space the dish takes up. Structuring your smaller apartments’ kitchen is pivotal. Cooking some dishes a day in advance to avoid running out of space on Thanksgiving Day is a great idea.
