At 1105 Flats in Raleigh, summer hits different. The days get longer, the vibe slows down, and your apartment becomes the go-to place to escape the heat while staying completely in your zone. Here’s how to keep things chill—literally and energetically—right at home.
Open Windows, Set the Tone
Early mornings and late nights bring the best breezes. Crack open those windows, turn on some lo-fi, and let the fresh air and good energy move through your space. This is peak North Carolina summer living.
Lighten the Layers
Your home should feel just as cool as it looks. Swap out heavy throws and thick rugs for breezy fabrics, natural textures, and laid-back tones. It’s a mini style refresh that also helps beat the heat.
Kitchen = Summer Snack Spot
Big meals can wait. Your modern kitchen at 1105 Flats is made for low-lift recipes. Think chilled fruit bowls, cucumber-mint water, or DIY charcuterie for those Netflix nights. And for bonus points, prep it all in advance and stash it in the fridge.
Create a Cool Down Corner
Designate one spot in your apartment as the post-sun recharge zone. Whether it’s your living room couch or your private balcony, keep it clean, quiet, and stocked with essentials: an iced drink, your favorite playlist, and a little greenery to set the vibe.
Plants Make Everything Better
Tropical plants don’t just look cool—they help your space feel cooler too. Snake plants and ferns are low-maintenance and love the summer light. Place them near windows or in corners that need a little lift.
Less Tech, More Chill
When the heat rises, even your electronics can make your apartment feel warmer. Power down what you don’t need, unplug a few things, and give your space a moment to breathe. You’ll feel the difference—promise.
