There's nothing quite like a slow afternoon by the pool, and residents at Stillwood Farms know just how to make the most of it. Whether you're soaking up the sun solo after a long week or gathering friends for a weekend hangout, having the right essentials on hand makes all the difference. Here's your go to packing list for a perfect pool day at home.

1. Sun Protection First

Before anything else, pack the basics that keep you comfortable in the Georgia heat. A broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is non negotiable, and it's worth reapplying every couple of hours, especially after time in the water. A wide brimmed hat and a good pair of sunglasses round out your first line of defense against the sun.

2. A Comfortable Towel and Cover Up

Bring a towel large enough to fully stretch out on your lounge chair, plus a lightweight cover up or throw for when the breeze picks up or you head back inside. A cover up also makes it easy to run a quick errand without needing to change first.

3. Hydration and Snacks

Sun and water make it easy to lose track of how much you're sweating, so pack plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the afternoon. A refillable water bottle with ice keeps things cold for hours. Light snacks like fresh fruit, trail mix, or veggies and hummus are easy to pack and won't weigh you down.

4. Something to Read or Listen To

A pool day is the perfect excuse to finally start that book on your nightstand or catch up on a podcast. Waterproof phone pouches are a great way to protect your device while still keeping your music or audiobook within reach.

5. Pool Friendly Games and Entertainment

If you're bringing friends or family, a few pool floats, a deck of cards, or a portable speaker can turn a quiet afternoon into a memorable hangout. Just be sure to keep the volume considerate of your neighbors also enjoying the space.

6. A Small Bag for the Essentials

Keep everything organized with a lightweight tote or beach bag. It makes packing up at the end of the day quick and easy, and keeps your phone, keys, and wallet safe and dry in one place.

Enjoy Resort Style Living at Stillwood Farms

Our residents have access to a beautifully maintained pool right at home, making it easy to enjoy a refreshing afternoon without ever leaving the community. Grab your towel, pack your essentials, and head down to make the most of the season.

Beat the Heat: Energy-Saving Tips for Apartment Renters This Summer https://www.rentstillwood.com/blog/2026/06/17/beat-the-heat-energy-saving-tips-for-apartment-renters-this-summer/ https://www.rentstillwood.com/blog/2026/06/17/beat-the-heat-energy-saving-tips-for-apartment-renters-this-summer/#respond Wed, 17 Jun 2026 16:12:00 +0000 https://www.rentstillwood.com/blog/?p=25 Summers in Newnan are warm, humid, and full of Georgia charm.

Summers in Newnan are warm, humid, and full of Georgia charm. But as the temperatures climb, so can your energy bill. Keeping your apartment cool and comfortable throughout the season does not have to mean overspending every month. At Stillwood Farms Apartments, we are committed to making sure our residents feel right at home, and that includes helping you get the most out of your living space even during the hottest months of the year. Here are some of our top tips for staying cool and managing energy costs this summer.

1. Use Your Thermostat Wisely

Being intentional about your thermostat settings is one of the easiest ways to cut down on your energy use without sacrificing comfort. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat to 78°F when you are home and nudging it a few degrees higher when you are away or sleeping. Each degree you raise the setting can save you up to 3% on your cooling costs.

If your apartment has a programmable or smart thermostat, take a few minutes to set up a schedule that works around your daily routine. There is no reason for your AC to run at full power when the apartment is sitting empty.

2. Let Your Ceiling Fans Help

Ceiling fans are a surprisingly effective partner to your air conditioning system during the summer. While they do not actually cool the air, the breeze they create makes a room feel noticeably cooler, which means you can raise your thermostat by about 4°F and still feel perfectly comfortable.

Make sure your fan is spinning counterclockwise during the warmer months so it pushes cool air downward where it can actually be felt. And always turn fans off when you leave a room since they work by cooling people, not spaces.

3. Block the Sun During Peak Afternoon Hours

Windows let in a lot more heat than most people expect, particularly during the afternoon hours when the sun is at its strongest. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., keep your blinds, curtains, or shades closed on south and west facing windows to prevent heat from building up inside your apartment.

Blackout curtains or thermal drapes are an affordable investment that can make a real difference in how cool your home stays throughout the day. They reduce the work your AC has to do and help maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature indoors.

4. Adjust When and How You Use Appliances

Everyday appliances like ovens, dryers, and dishwashers produce more heat than most people realize. A few simple habit shifts can help keep your apartment cooler and take some pressure off your AC system.

Avoid using the oven during the hottest parts of the day and opt for a microwave, air fryer, or slow cooker instead. Run your dishwasher and laundry in the evening or early morning when it is naturally cooler outside. If you have not switched to LED bulbs yet, summer is a great time to make the change since they give off far less heat than incandescent bulbs. Get in the habit of unplugging electronics and chargers when they are not in use because even on standby they draw power and add heat to your living space.

5. Find and Address Air Leaks

Cool air escaping through gaps around your windows and doors means your AC has to work harder and run longer to keep your apartment at a comfortable temperature. Take a few minutes to check around your window frames and at the base of exterior doors for any noticeable drafts or openings.

If you find something that needs a fix, submit a maintenance request and our team at Stillwood Farms will get it taken care of promptly. In the meantime, a draft stopper at the base of a door is a quick and inexpensive way to help reduce air loss.

6. Open Up When It Cools Down Outside

Your AC does not need to run all day to keep your apartment feeling fresh. On cooler mornings and evenings, typically before 8 a.m. and after 8 p.m., open your windows to bring in outside air and give your system a well earned rest. Opening windows on opposite sides of your apartment creates a natural cross breeze that moves cool air through the space without using any electricity.

Once the outdoor temperature rises above the temperature inside your home, go ahead and close everything back up and let the AC take over again for the rest of the day.

7. Replace Your AC Filter on a Regular Schedule

A dirty or clogged air filter restricts airflow and forces your AC unit to use more energy to do its job. Over the summer months this can add up quickly on your energy bill, and it can also affect the air quality inside your home. Check your filter every month during the summer and plan to replace it every one to three months based on how much use it gets.

If you have questions about your filter or need support with your HVAC system, the maintenance team at Stillwood Farms is always glad to help. Just put in a request and we will be right there.

8. Spend Time in the Naturally Cooler Parts of Your Home

Heat rises and sun exposed rooms warm up faster than shaded or interior spaces, so different areas of your apartment will feel noticeably different at different times of day. During the hottest afternoon hours, gravitate toward the cooler spots in your home and keep your interior doors open so that cool air from your AC can move freely throughout the apartment rather than getting stuck in one area.

Cool Down and Settle In at Stillwood Farms

A comfortable, energy efficient summer is well within reach. With a few thoughtful adjustments to your daily habits, you can keep your apartment cool, protect your budget, and still enjoy everything the season has to offer right here in Newnan.

When you are ready to step outside and take a break, our community amenities are the perfect place to relax and recharge. And whenever you need support with your home, the Stillwood Farms team is always just a call or visit away.

Here is to a cool, comfortable, and energy smart summer from all of us at Stillwood Farms Apartments!

Enhance Your Apartment Lifestyle

If you call Stillwood Farms home, you already know what it means to live in comfort and style. With thoughtfully designed 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom floorplans ranging from 949 to 1,519 sq. ft., residents enjoy spacious layouts with modern finishes and smart design details.

Even with ample room, every apartment can benefit from clever organization. Making the most of your storage space can help you maintain a clutter-free, comfortable, and inviting home. Whether you’re a minimalist or love to decorate, these simple yet effective ideas will help you maximize every inch of your apartment.


Use Wall Space for Smart Storage Solutions

When you’re short on square footage, the best trick is to look up. Vertical storage takes advantage of unused wall space while keeping your home open and airy.

  • Go vertical with tall cabinets or bookshelves to keep the floor feeling open.
  • Keep things handy by hanging hooks or a pegboard by the door for coats, bags, and keys.
  • Try floating shelves to show off your favorite books, plants, or photos.

At Stillwood Farms, the high ceilings and open layouts make it easy to integrate these vertical solutions, giving your apartment both function and style.


Incorporate Multi-Functional Furniture

When living in apartments in Newnan GA, every piece of furniture should work as hard as you do. Multi-functional furniture helps you save space while keeping things organized and looking polished.

  • Storage ottomans are great for hiding blankets or board games while doubling as extra seating.
     
  • Lift-top coffee tables offer storage underneath while providing a convenient workspace.
     
  • Platform beds with built-in drawers keep clothing, shoes, and linens neatly tucked away.
     

Blending practicality and design, these pieces help maintain the clean, contemporary aesthetic that defines life at Stillwood Farms.


Maximize Closet and Cabinet Storage

Closets can quickly become cluttered, but with the right tools, they can turn into your best storage asset.

  • Add adjustable shelving or a second hanging rod to increase usable space.
     
  • Use slim, matching hangers to keep clothing organized and visually consistent.
     
  • Try stackable bins, drawer organizers, and baskets for smaller accessories or shoes.
     

The spacious closets and well-appointed kitchens at Stillwood Farms make these upgrades easy, ensuring everything has its place without feeling overcrowded.


Make the Most of Overlooked Spaces

Sometimes the most valuable storage spots are the ones you don’t immediately notice. With a little creativity, those forgotten corners and gaps can become surprisingly functional.

  • Behind the sofa or headboard: Slide in slim storage cabinets or narrow shelving units to hold books, decor, or extra linens without cluttering visible areas.
     
  • Under furniture with legs: Use low-profile baskets or decorative boxes to store small items — it keeps things tidy and adds a touch of intentional design.
     
  • Inside unused corners: Add a small corner desk, bar cart, or ladder shelf to turn awkward angles into purposeful nooks.
     
  • Above door frames: Install a sleek floating shelf to store infrequently used items like extra towels or decorative baskets.
     

At Stillwood Farms, these kinds of smart adjustments fit beautifully with the community’s open, airy layouts — helping you keep your apartment organized without sacrificing its modern, inviting feel.


Smart Design Starts at Stillwood Farms

At Stillwood Farms, every detail is designed to make your life more comfortable. From modern finishes to flexible floorplans, your home provides the perfect balance of space and convenience.

Tips for Effective Use of Apartment Kitchen Space

Apartment living often means working with limited square footage, and the kitchen is no exception. When your layout includes an island kitchen, like those at Stillwood Farms, there’s an excellent opportunity to enhance both function and style. Whether you enjoy preparing home‑cooked meals or need flexible space for everyday use, thoughtful planning and organization can significantly expand your kitchen’s usability.

This guide provides actionable strategies to help you get the most out of your kitchen space in an apartment in Newnan, GA, focusing on efficiency, storage, and workflow improvement.

 


1. Use Your Island as a Central Hub

Kitchen islands are more than just a surface—they can become the heart of your apartment kitchen. At Stillwood Farms, island kitchens provide:

  • Additional prep space for cooking

  • Room for small appliances

  • Extra storage underneath

To maximize this feature, keep the island clutter‑free by using designated storage baskets or trays for frequently used items. This not only enhances accessibility but also visually streamlines the space.

 


2. Establish Functional Zones

Creating functional zones helps you stay organized and improves workflow. Break your kitchen into areas for specific tasks:

  • Prep zone: island or countertop space with cutting boards and tools

  • Cooking zone: near the stove with spices and utensils within reach

  • Cleaning zone: around the sink with dish tools and towels

When each task has its own space, you can reduce clutter and move through kitchen activities more efficiently.

 


3. Optimize Cabinet Interiors

Cabinets store the bulk of your kitchen items, but without structure, they can become inefficient.

Try these organization strategies:

  • Install built‑in shelf risers to create two levels in tall spaces

  • Add slide‑out baskets for easy access to deep cabinets

  • Use clear containers for dry goods to see contents at a glance

Well‑organized cabinets free up countertop space and make daily routines easier.

 


4. Take Advantage of Wall and Vertical Space

When traditional storage areas fill up, walls are your next best option. Utilizing vertical space helps shift items off counter surfaces.

Effective vertical solutions include:

  • Floating shelves for everyday dishes and decorative jars

  • Wall rails with hooks for utensils and smaller pots

  • Magnetic strips for knives to save much‑needed drawer space

These tools help keep essentials visible and accessible while preserving open counters.

 


5. Make Drawers Work Harder

Drawers are a prime resource when space is limited. Use the following ideas to maximize their potential:

  • Drawer dividers to keep utensils and tools separated

  • Shallow trays for measuring spoons and small gadgets

  • Custom organizers for lids and smaller kitchen items

Organized drawers reduce time spent searching and maintain a tidy kitchen.

 


6. Integrate Smart Storage Accessories

In an apartment kitchen, smart tools can make a big impact:

  • Over‑sink cutting boards expand prep space without adding clutter

  • Under‑shelf baskets double cabinet storage

  • Stackable shelves increase capacity in cabinets or pantries

These accessories help you adapt your space to fit your habits and needs.

 


7. Keep Countertops Functional

Granite or Corian counters are visually appealing and useful for kitchens, but they can fill up quickly if left unplanned. To maintain openness:

  • Store less‑used appliances in cabinets

  • Only keep daily essentials on the counter

  • Use decorative bowls or trays to hold frequently used items

Clear countertops make your entire kitchen feel larger and more efficient.

 


8. Regular Decluttering Makes a Difference

Even well‑organized kitchens can accumulate extra items. Annual or bi‑annual decluttering helps maintain space:

  • Toss expired food items

  • Recycle or donate gadgets you rarely use

  • Reassess storage zones periodically

This ongoing effort helps your kitchen stay functional and easy to navigate.

 


The Value of Thoughtful Kitchen Features

Island kitchens provide a natural advantage by offering extra workspace and storage opportunities. With intentional organization and thoughtful use of space, you can create a kitchen in your apartment that feels spacious and efficient.

Stillwood Farms offers thoughtfully designed kitchen layouts that support organized living. Explore more of our community features and resident benefits that contribute to comfortable apartment living.

Eco-Friendly Living Tips for Apartment Dwellers in Newnan, GA

Thinking green while living in an apartment doesn’t mean you have to install solar panels or compost everything you eat. It’s all about small, smart habits that reduce your footprint without changing your entire lifestyle. Whether you're renting a one-bedroom solo or a three-bedroom with roommates at Stillwood Farms in Newnan, GA, these eco-friendly ideas are easy to put into action.

 


1. Start with Energy Efficiency

Apartments are already more energy-efficient than most houses due to shared walls, but there’s more you can do:

  • Swap in LED lightbulbs—they use less power and last longer.
     

  • Unplug devices when you’re not using them (even chargers pull electricity when idle).
     

  • Use ceiling fans to circulate air and reduce your reliance on AC.
     

  • Keep windows covered during hot afternoons to reduce cooling needs.
     

These simple shifts can lower both your power bill and your environmental impact.

 


2. Rethink Water Usage

Water conservation is often overlooked in apartment life, but small adjustments can go a long way:

  • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or scrubbing dishes.
     

  • Wash full loads in the dishwasher and laundry machines.
     

  • Consider using a low-flow showerhead—it’s an easy install that helps reduce waste.
     

  • Report leaks promptly to maintenance to prevent water damage and waste.
     

Living in Newnan, GA, where summers can get hot and humid, conserving water helps the local environment too.

 


3. Recycle Right & Reduce Waste

Even in an apartment, you’ve got plenty of room to reduce your trash output:

  • Set up a designated recycling bin in your kitchen or pantry.
     

  • Reuse jars, bags, and boxes whenever possible.
     

  • Avoid single-use plastics and opt for reusable grocery totes, water bottles, and containers.
     

  • Choose products with minimal packaging or shop in bulk.
     

Your apartment layout at Stillwood Farms gives you the space to keep things organized. Want to see how it fits your lifestyle? Take a look at available floorplans.

 


4. Go Green with Decor

You don’t need to sacrifice style for sustainability:

  • Decorate with houseplants—they purify the air and add a pop of green to any room.
     

  • Shop second-hand for furniture or browse eco-conscious brands.
     

  • Use curtains and rugs made from natural fibers like cotton or jute.
     

Not only does this help reduce waste, but it also gives your space a unique, earthy vibe.

 


5. Smarter Transportation Choices

Stillwood Farms is located conveniently in Newnan, GA, with access to shops, parks, and essentials:

  • Carpool when possible or combine errands to cut down on drive time.
     

  • Walk or bike to nearby places—it’s healthier for you and the planet.
     

  • If you're working remotely, skip the commute altogether (and maybe open a window for that natural light!).
     

 


Why It Matters

Making eco-conscious choices while living in an apartment shows that sustainability isn’t limited by space or location. By shifting a few habits and being mindful of your energy, water, and waste, you contribute to a healthier environment—right from your home at Stillwood Farms.

Whether you're living solo or with family or friends, these green tips are simple, affordable, and totally doable.

Working from home in a 1 bedroom apartment can feel like you’re balancing too many roles in one space—living, resting, and working. But at Stillwood Farms in Newnan, you already enjoy modern layouts, lush green spaces, and community amenities that can help you create a setup that supports focus and comfort. With intentional organization and smart design, even a compact apartment can feel spacious, calm, and efficient.

Define Your Workspace

Even if your unit doesn’t include a dedicated office, choosing and sticking with one spot for work matters. Perhaps a desk by a window to soak up natural light, or a small workstation tucked into a corner of the living room. Once your workday ends, clear your desk so your space can shift into relaxation mode. This separation helps both productivity and downtime.

Use Vertical & Hidden Storage Smartly

Floor space is limited in a 1 bedroom, so use the walls and under-the-bed areas. Floating shelves above your desk can hold books, supplies, or decorative inspiration. A pegboard or wall rail keeps tools or materials off your surface but accessible. Ottomans or benches with lid storage, under-bed drawers, or baskets tucked into closets help hide items you use less frequently. Surfaces stay clean and space feels more open.

Choose Furniture That Works Double Duty

When each piece pulls more than one task, your apartment functions better. A bed frame with storage underneath, a coffee table that lifts up, or a desk with built-in drawers lets you avoid extra furniture. Since Stillwood Farms offers generous interior layouts, you have room to pick pieces that combine form and function, keeping your home both modern and practical.

Keep Clutter & Cables Under Control

Messy cables and crowded surfaces do more than look untidy—they distract. Use cable clips, sleeves, or trays to route wires neatly. Organize frequently used supplies like pens, chargers, or notebooks in drawer organizers or small trays. At the end of the workday, do a quick tidy: close your laptop, reset your desk, and store items away. A clean space helps your mind unwind.

Let Light Elevate Your Mood & Focus

Natural light is one of the greatest tools in a small apartment. Set up your workspace near a window so daylight can fuel productivity. Choose sheer curtains to keep glare down without blocking light. When daylight fades, layer in task lighting and softer ambient lights to prevent harsh shadows. Mirrors can help reflect light across the room, making the space feel larger and brighter.

Create Zones Without Walls

Even in a 1 bedroom, you can design with purpose. A rug under your desk anchors that workspace. A tall plant, bookshelf, or screen can separate your work area from your living or sleeping zone without closing things off. These visual cues allow your mind to shift between focus and rest without needing separate rooms.

Simplify Your Surroundings

Less is often more. On your desk or surfaces, keep only what you use each day. Store the rest away in drawers, bins, or closets. Choose décor that matters—a piece of art, a beloved plant, or a lamp that brings you joy—and let it shine. Rotate out items seasonally to keep the feel fresh. In pared-down surroundings, you find clarity and calm.

Personal Comfort & Joyful Touches

Make the space feel like yours. Include things that lift you—a framed photo, a favorite mug, or a plant that thrives in Newnan’s light. Soft fabrics, cozy seating, or warm accents can make long work hours feel pleasant. Comfort doesn’t mean sacrificing professionalism; these details can make your home your favorite place to both work and unwind.

Final Thoughts

Working from home in a 1 bedroom apartment at Stillwood Farms is absolutely possible when design and organization align. Define a consistent workspace, use vertical and hidden storage, choose furniture that does more than one job, control light and clutter, and surround yourself with what you love. With intention, your apartment will support both productivity and relaxation.

If you’re ready to see these ideas come to life, schedule a tour of the 1 bedroom apartments at Stillwood Farms in Newnan, GA. With spacious floorplans, modern finishes, resort-style amenities, and plenty of green space, it’s the ideal setting for living well and working even better.
