When the Tennessee heat kicks up, your apartment should feel like the calm in the storm. At Enclave at Providence in Mt. Juliet, you’ve already got a head start—modern layouts, elevated interiors, and peaceful vibes. Still, with a few small changes, you can keep your home cool, fresh, and ready for every sunny day ahead.

Let the Light In—But Not All of It

Sunshine feels amazing, but too much can turn your apartment into a sauna. Opt for blackout or thermal curtains in your living room and bedroom. They help block out heat during peak afternoon hours while keeping your place dim and cozy. In the mornings or early evenings, open your windows to let that crisp air flow through. You’ll feel the difference right away.

Cool Air Hacks, No Renovation Required

If you can’t install anything permanent, don’t worry. Portable fans (especially tower or oscillating fans) do wonders. Try placing one across from an open window to pull in cooler air. Got ceiling fans? Make sure they’re rotating counterclockwise in summer—that pushes cool air down instead of just spinning it around. A bowl of ice in front of a box fan? Old-school, but surprisingly effective.

Indoor Greenery That Pulls Double Duty

Plants aren’t just for aesthetic vibes—they help purify the air and can actually cool it a bit, too. Snake plants, aloe vera, and pothos are all easy to care for and love the light. Scatter a few around your space and feel the shift. Bonus: they make your apartment feel alive and grounded.

Lighten Up Your Bedding and Décor

Heavy fabrics trap heat. Switch out winter linens for breathable cotton or linen sheets and use lightweight throws instead of thick blankets. Stick with brighter colors for summer—whites, soft blues, and pale greens create that cool, calm feel even when it’s hot outside. Think fresh over cozy.

Take Advantage of Enclave’s Community Perks

Don’t forget—you’ve got access to everything that makes summer living easier. Need to move your workout from indoors to out? Hit the community walking paths or take a relaxing break in the shade. Ready for a little weekend reset? Use the grilling stations, hang out with neighbors, or just enjoy the breeze in one of the outdoor seating areas.

Keep It Chill, Keep It You

Your space should always reflect your routine—and in the summer, that means simple switches that help you stay grounded, light, and relaxed. Whether you’re kicking back with a cold drink after work or hosting weekend friends, a cool apartment makes it all easier. At Enclave at Providence, that perfect summer setup is totally within reach.

Time to turn the thermostat down—and turn the good vibes up.
