Furnishing your apartment is a big undertaking, and it can be overwhelming when you have to scramble to get everything you need. Before you panic, here are some essential pieces of furniture you need in your first apartment.
Living Room
Your living room is the focal point of your apartment and where you will do most of your entertaining. You want to have enough seating for all your friends while keeping your comfort and personal aesthetic in mind. Look for comfy couches for everyone to lounge on or a love seat if you lack space.
If you still need more seating, look for accent chairs that complement your sofa. In addition, you’ll also need a coffee table and TV console to tie the room together. Try investing in an entertainment system to house your media devices neatly if you have the space.
Bedroom
Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. This is where you will unwind and relax, so make sure it promotes a calming atmosphere. If you’re going to splurge on comfort items, do it for your bedroom furniture.
Some bedroom furniture you need in your first apartment is obvious, like a mattress and bedframe.
Don’t skimp on your bed; a good night’s sleep is essential for regulating bodily functions, so make sure you sleep comfortably. You can also look at bedroom sets for other pieces that will complete the room, like:
- Nightstands
- Dressers
- Vanities
Office
If you work from home, setting up your office space should be a top priority. It’s easy to lose your healthy work-life balance when you don’t differentiate your workspace from your living space. You can easily separate your areas with the right kind of office furniture.
There are two pieces of furniture that every office needs: an office desk and a comfy chair. If you have an extra room in your apartment, you can invest in a large desk that will hold all of your work supplies. If not, you can add a small corner desk and stool to your bedroom or living room for work-related tasks.
Dining Room
Gone are the days you used to spend eating from your bed or couch. Now that you’re in your apartment, you can dedicate space for eating with new dining room furniture! Use this space for yourself or when hosting friends and family.
Dining room sets come with everything you need to furnish your area. Depending on the size of your apartment, you can get a unique dining room table and chairs that can seat a lot of people. If you’re tight on space, a small table with a few chairs will work just fine.
Your essential furniture pieces will be a foundation for creating your perfect home. Now that you have your own apartment, you can use this list to build a space that reflects your style.
