There’s nothing like a Georgia summer — long sunny days, warm nights, and that signature Southern heat. But at Arlo Decatur, you’ve got the space, the finishes, and the energy to keep things cool when it counts. Whether you’re working from home or winding down after an afternoon stroll downtown, your apartment should feel like your own personal chill zone. Here’s how to make it happen.

Let Your Windows Set the Vibe

You don’t have to block out the world — just the heat. Close your shades during peak sun hours to keep things from warming up too fast. If your apartment gets direct light in the afternoon, blackout curtains are your best friend. Once the sun dips, let that Georgia breeze do its thing and open up for a natural cool-down.

Lighten Up Where It Counts

Summer is the perfect excuse to swap your bedding and throw pillows. Breathable cotton or linen sheets? Yes. Heavy comforters? Not this season. Lighter tones also make your space feel airier — think soft neutrals or calming blues to set the mood.

Fans, Airflow, and That Easy-Breezy Energy

Keep the air moving without cranking the AC all day. A compact fan by the window can work wonders in the evening. Use it to pull in cooler air or circulate what’s already there. Even small changes in airflow can make your whole apartment feel fresher.

Skip the Stove, Keep It Fresh

Let your kitchen cool down with you. Cold pasta salad, fruit bowls, or a charcuterie plate? Way better than firing up the oven. Your sleek countertops and stainless appliances will still shine, just without the extra heat.

Add a Little Green

Bringing in a few plants is the easiest way to refresh your space. Snake plants, pothos, or succulents add life without needing much in return. They keep the air feeling crisp and your space feeling lived-in — in the best way.

Rearrange for the Win

Your layout matters more than you think. If a chair or couch is blocking an AC vent, it’s time for a quick shift. Opening up airflow pathways makes your whole apartment feel cooler, faster — no energy waste, just smart space use.

Set the Tone at Sundown

Evenings in Decatur are where it’s at. Open the windows, cue up your favorite playlist, and relax. Whether you're on the couch or your private balcony, make space to reset and cool off before calling it a night.
