find the perfect apartment
Winter days can be beautiful—but let’s be honest, when the temperature drops and the wind starts howling, staying indoors suddenly becomes the best plan. Whether you're snowed in or just trying to avoid the chill, there are tons of cozy, creative ways to enjoy your time at home.
Create a DIY Cozy Corner Use this time to rearrange or decorate a cozy space in your apartment. Add a few pillows, blankets, a warm lamp, and maybe a plant or two. Whether you’re reading, journaling, or sipping something hot, this little corner becomes your ultimate comfort zone.
Warm Up in the Kitchen Cold days are perfect for trying out new recipes. Whether it's homemade soup, cookies fresh from the oven, or a slow-cooked comfort meal, cooking is a great way to stay busy—and warm. Bonus points if you make extra and freeze some for later!
Movie or Binge-Watch Marathon Break out your favorite streaming service and get comfy. From classic films to that series everyone’s talking about, a winter day is the perfect excuse to press play. Add popcorn and a warm drink and you’ve got your own in-home theater experience.
Get Creative Feeling crafty? Try your hand at painting, journaling, or even organizing that photo album you’ve been meaning to make. Creativity not only helps pass time—it can actually lift your mood on gloomy days.
Home Workouts or Yoga Keep your energy up with a little movement. There are tons of free online classes you can stream from your living room—no gym trip needed. Whether it’s yoga, bodyweight exercises, or just dancing around your living room, your body (and mind) will thank you.
Game Night—Solo or with Roomies Pull out your favorite board games or card games, or download an app for virtual game night with friends. It’s a fun and low-pressure way to stay social while staying warm.
Just because the weather outside is frightful doesn’t mean your day indoors has to be dull. Highmark Residential apartments are designed to make your home feel like the coziest place on earth—no matter what’s happening outside.
