Important Stuff That You Need to Have When You Start Living Independently

July 9, 2019 by Jarred

 

Are you planning to move out soon? Things can get on your nerves if it is your first time being away from your family. However, on a positive note, living in your own apartment is exciting. You can look forward to decorating the entire place and buying your first bedroom furniture with your hard-earned money. Being on your own means that you need to accomplish many things upon moving to your place. So here are some basic things that you should not forget on your moving checklist.

Bedroom stuff

After signing your apartment lease with your landlord, the first important piece of furniture that you should buy is a mattress unless you plan on sleeping on the floor, which can get pretty uncomfortable. Luckily, there are plenty of mattress companies that will deliver all types of mattresses to your front door, saving you time and money. Consider a bed in the box for the best cool sleeping if you’re a hot sleeper or a mattress design specifically for back pain to help you sleep comfortably in your new place.

Table and chair

For you to eat your meals comfortably, you need to have a chair and table. If you are planning to invite several guests, then you should look into buying a bigger table and more chairs. If you have restricted space in your apartment, then you can opt to invest in folding chairs and tables instead.

Kitchen appliances

Eating take-out food is unhealthy and expensive. It is more practical to do grocery shopping and cook your own meals. If your apartment is unfurnished, then you will need to invest in an electric stove, microwave oven and a refrigerator where you can keep your food fresh. A few pots, dishes and utensils should also be part of the list.

Toolbox

If you plan to do some carpentry work in your bedroom or the living room having the necessary tools is a must. Go ahead and buy yourself a toolbox that contains the essential tools like pliers, a hammer and a screwdriver. Make sure that you have nails and screws that come in different sizes. Instead of calling a carpenter to fix small things, it is better to do it yourself.

A big and comfortable sofa

If you do not have any idea how to decorate your living room, then you can start by adding a big couch. You will find this piece of furniture useful if you are planning to invite a couple of friends over, host a weekend party, or watch TV all day long.

Cleaning materials

Part of your responsibility when living alone is to ensure that your apartment is kept clean at all times. Do not forget to invest in a vacuum cleaner, a broom, dustpan and several rags. Also, you need to buy cleaning materials for your kitchen and bathroom like bleach, detergents, and toilet bowl cleaner, etc.

Before moving into your new apartment, it is best to create a complete list of things that you need to bring and purchase.
