5 Fun Things to Do in Your Studio Apartment

Are you bored out of your mind and in need of some serious change to your routine? Are you looking for some creative ideas to do in your studio apartment? Read more and find out some of the best ways to spend your time in your apartment.

By now, most COVID-related restrictions have been lifted in almost all parts of the world. After being confined mostly at home for the past two years, many people are anxious to go out and do the things they used to do before the pandemic. 

However, if you’re among those who still have to work from home or those who simply have gotten used to the laid-back routine of being a home buddy, you can benefit from the following creative ideas to make your extended staycation more fun and productive.

Grow Mushrooms

If you’re someone with a penchant for the unique, enjoy the challenge of the process. Like rewarding results, mushroom cultivation is definitely something you should try at least once.

Growing mushrooms indoors is a niche hobby that has gained popularity since the pandemic. 

The best thing about this one-of-a-kind pastime is that you don’t need enough space to grow them and therefore can be managed within the limited space of a studio apartment.

You can grow it on your countertop, in bags, in a tent, and even in jars! Start with a kit and grow your first yield to see how you like it.

Give your apartment a makeover

Seeing the same things every day can feel monotonous over time. It takes little triggers like this to make you feel uninspired and unmotivated.

A simple change in your direct environment can have tremendous effects on your mood, motivation, and productivity.

So why not try to touch up on your interiors a little bit? Own your space by redesigning corners, changing colors, and adding a few things here and there to make your space a little more interesting.

Doing a few changes, like changing your upholstery and adding some accent pieces, can make a world of difference to your personal space.

Start a side hustle

Do you feel restless? That might be a sign that you’re not using your energy on things you find purposeful. Most people just feel the need to be productive.

That said, exploring side hustle options is a productive way to redirect all that effort. And side hustles are not in shortage in 2022!

From selling products online to being a virtual assistant, there are more ways to start earning income on the side, even in the comfort of your studio apartment.

Invite friends over

According to Money Under 30, the average American household spends around $3,000 a year on dining out.

If you’re not careful, all those lunches with friends can add up! 

When it gets too expensive to spend the day out, the best alternative is to host the party yourself! Arrange a small soiree with your best friends and have everyone contribute to the cookout!

This way, expenses are split and everyone still has a good time.

Create a cookbook

Ordering food online might be the best for convenience but not for your wallet. Eventually, you’re gonna have to pick up the pot and rummage through the remainder of your fridge for a quick meal. 

Unfortunately, many people had to learn this the hard way during the pandemic. 

If you’ve picked up a few recipes you’ve come to love, this is the perfect opportunity to put them together.

Try creating a personal cookbook filled with simple recipes that are healthy, quick, and easy to make. 

Search for recipe videos on Pinterest and create a board for them. Then, copy the recipes, print them out, and compile them for easy reference. 

You’ll thank yourself later.

Conclusion

Being stuck at home should not stop you from doing exciting things. The next time you feel bored or restless, get off your phone and try doing something that will make you feel accomplished.
