7 Must Haves For Your First Apartment

There are obviously many things you have to purchase when you move into your first apartment, but we’ve compiled a list of 7 must-have items that you’ll need right away!

1. Trash can- When you’re moving into a new home you’ll be surprised how much trash you can accumulate while you’re getting settled!

2. Bedding- Whether or not you have a queen sized bed or you’re sleeping on the couch, you’ll certainly need a blanket and pillow when it’s time to rest!

3. Bathroom necessities- Besides your normal toiletries, you’ll need to make sure you have a shower curtain, soap, shampoo, towels and toilet tissue.

4. Plates & eating utensils- You might be ordering takeout while getting adjusted to your new home, but you’ll need plates and forks to have on hand.

5. A coffee pot and coffee – If you are a caffeine lover, you’ll need a way to get your fix while spending your days unpacking boxes.

6. Drinking glasses/ mugs – You’ll need mugs for your early morning cup of joe and glasses for water so you can stay hydrated while you’re hard at work!

7. Lamps- Let there be light! You’ll need to be able to see while you’re moving! Any rooms that don’t have overhead lighting will need lamps.
