Making sure your Bathroom is the best!

In your apartment, your bathroom is one of the few places where you really get any privacy when you live with a lot of people. Here are a few lovely tips on giving your bathroom a more dashing and desirable look.

A nice vase for the counter. Vases are a lovely touch for any bathroom regardless of whether or not you have flowers in them. Depending on what style vase you have it can give a nice classical or rustic look to the bathroom.

Bring in the floral joy! It's surprising to see how few people like having flowers in their bathrooms. Fresh flowers give the room a beautiful fragrance as well more vibrancy to the room. If the fresh flowers are a tad too pricey, fake flowers can still bring a nice vibrancy to your bathroom. If it's an aroma you desire, try some fragrant potpourri or a candle and display it whichever way you choose.


Good lighting is a must have. This is something so many people underestimate. It’s always wonderful to have natural lighting but if it is unavailable for any reason (ie. nighttime), make sure there is ample lighting. If the bathroom is too poorly lit, it looks so uninviting and can seem rather dismal. Make sure, however, to light the room the way that makes you comfortable and not in a way that screams florescent public bathroom lighting.

No one should ever have to walk into a bathroom and be appalled by how it looks and feels. A few little touches here and there can make a bathroom go from mundane to magnificent in an instant!

Apartment Living Made Healthy!


There are many ways that apartment living can actually contribute to a healthy lifestyle. These simple things can be included in day to day activities to help you maximize the amount of exercise you get. Here are some great basic health and fitness tips for apartment living to help you make the most of what you've got:


    •    Even if you live in a building with an elevator, always take the stairs. Those trips to the grocery store or getting the garbage out can really add a little workout to your day.
    •    Make more trips whenever possible. If you are going to have to go and get a newspaper and do laundry, break it up into two separate tasks instead of combining them. You'll get more exercise.
    •    Walk to do errands whenever possible.
    •    Use a bicycle to go on longer errands or to go to work.
    •    Make a vigorous apartment cleaning part of your weekly schedule. Put on some music and really get to it!
    •    Rearrange furniture periodically. It will help keep the place looking fresh, and provide you with a little extra exercise.


    •    If you have a dog, walk it often. You'll both be happier and more fit.

It can be easy to amp up an apartment lifestyle to include a bit more activity if you keep in mind the things you do each day and just try to keep moving. Of course, for the residents of apartments at Central Park 2, the exquisite natural beauty offered by the huge central park makes it easier to get out of the apartment and live healthier!

Feng Shui tips for your Bedroom

1. No TV, Computer or other equipment in the bed room:
The good feng shui energy in your bedroom is destroyed when these items are present in your bedroom.

2. Let the breach air into the room as often as possible to keep the air fresh and oxygen rich.
Be mindful of the quality of air in your bedroom. You cannot have good feng shui in your bedroom if the air you breathe in is stale and full of pollutants. Specially if your apartment is one of the luxury apartments in Gurgaon offered by Central Park, you would feel the fresh air in your bedroom always!

3. Have several levels of lighting in your bedroom, or use a dimmer switch to adjust the energy accordingly.
Given the lighting needs of the room would vary during the day/night it is best to use a dimmer switch. Also, get some candles for some exotic lighting sometimes. 


4. Use soothing colors to achieve a good feng shui balance in your bedroom.
Soothing colors give a boost to the Feng Shui energy of the room thereby making your stay in the room equally enjoyable and soothing

5. Follow the basic feng shui guidelines for your bed, which are:
    •    have your bed easily approachable from both sides,
    •    have two bedside tables (one on each side), and,
    •    avoid having the bed in a direct line with the door.

Getting the most out of your Kitchen space!

With microwaves, toasters, coffee makers, espresso machines, double sinks, cookie jars, breadboxes, and so on, kitchen space fills up quickly, and it’s easy to make things so cluttered that you run out of room to do your cooking. If you’re someone who loves to cook and spends a lot of time in the kitchen, this is a never ending conundrum. You want to have all the appliances and tools that you need, but you also want to have plenty of room to do your work. By following a few simple guidelines, you can start to take back your space.

Mount appliances: Things like toasters, microwaves, and even small ovens can be mounted above the counter. These fixtures are relatively easy to install, and they can free up many square feet of counter space. It’s also nice to have those appliances at eye level so that it’s easier to keep an eye on your food without having to bend

Shelving: Obviously, it’s great to have two levels of cabinetry, but even when you have this, it’s common to have some open spaces of wall in the kitchen. In these open spaces, you might want to consider installing some shelving to store those items that you use most often.

Mount cooking implements: In addition to installing shelves, you can also use empty wall space to mount your cooking elements. This makes your most commonly used items such as pots, pans, and spice racks easily accessible, and it also adds a little visual flair to your kitchen.

Use the upper reaches: It’s easy to forget that, in most kitchens at least, there is some perfectly good space on top of the upper shelves. This space is great for storing implements that you don’t use very often, such as large crockpots or specialized cooking devices.

Of course, you need not worry so much if you have the great kitchen of Central Park Apartments in Gurgaon! Fitted with the latest accessories and efficiently space optimized, it is a delight to be there! Welcome to Central Park, Welcome to Luxury!
