Move In, Make It Yours: Decorating Tips for Life at Creekside Apartments

Moving into your new home at Creekside Apartments (2975 McDowell Rd Ext, Jackson, MS 39204) is the perfect opportunity to express your personal style and create a space that’s both cozy and functional. With spacious one- and two-bedroom floorplans, modern features like lighted ceiling fans (in select homes), window blinds, vinyl wood flooring or tile flooring (in select homes), and carpet for added comfort, your apartment is the ideal blank canvas for stylish, budget-friendly decorating.

Add in thoughtful conveniences like white or black appliances, including a stove, oven, dishwasher, and a refrigerator (in select homes) with freezer, pantry, walk-in closets, a relaxing tub/shower combo, and a private patio or balcony, and you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to designing a well-appointed home.

Here’s how to turn your new Creekside apartment into a space you’ll love coming home to—plus, where to shop locally to bring your design vision to life!


1. Define Your Style for Each Room

Before you start shopping, decide what vibe you want in your home. Do you prefer clean minimalism, boho charm, farmhouse comfort, or modern glam? The vinyl wood flooring or tile flooring (in select homes) pairs well with both warm neutrals and bold pops of color. Your carpeted areas can be accented with cozy area rugs to add texture and contrast.


2. Start with the Essentials

For your living room, choose furniture that suits the layout—think sleek sectionals, compact coffee tables, and floating shelves that take advantage of vertical space. Accent your lighted ceiling fans with soft lighting from floor lamps or string lights for a warm ambiance.

In the bedroom, make use of your spacious walk-in closet by organizing with storage cubes, hanging shelves, and baskets. Soft throw blankets, layered pillows, and blackout curtains over your window blinds create a cozy, restful space.


3. Maximize Kitchen Function and Style

Your kitchen at Creekside Apartments is equipped with white or black appliances, a stove, oven, dishwasher, and in select homes, a refrigerator and freezer. Amp up your kitchen decor with countertop storage for spices, a fruit bowl for a fresh pop of color, and stylish dish towels. Use your pantry wisely with clear containers and stackable bins for organization.


4. Bring Life to Your Private Patio or Balcony

Take full advantage of your private patio or balcony by creating a relaxing outdoor nook. Add a small bistro set, outdoor rug, and potted plants to create a mini garden escape right outside your door.
