13 Things To Buy When Moving Into A New Apartment

A few months ago when I started hunting for a bigger place with a garden, I was already thinking things I would need. Having viewed the property previously, I mentally started decorating the apartment with things that I knew I would need.

Of late, LionsHome has been my first point of call for everything homeware related home accessories to help add the finishing touches to my home. The weather of late has been more Spring friendly and has made think about buying some garden furniture to spruce up my outdoor space.

As a minimalist I try not to clutter my home, this is why every 6 weeks I declutter the entire house. I love a spacious house with lots of light and plants around my home. The list of items shared in this post per room is under the assumption that each room has the basics.

Bedroom – bed, Livingroom – sofa, Kitchen – kitchen essentials

Bedroom – I try to maintain a minimalistic look and feel in my bedroom but these items are essential.

• Beddings
• Pillows
• Cushions
• Side table and lamps
• Dresser and/or closet

Livingroom – I am a true minimalist when it comes to the living room, I love a spacious and open living room.

• Sofa cushions
• Knitted throw
• Bookcase
• Hallway table

Kitchen – when it comes to the kitchen, I am more a hoarder than a minimalist, I want all the cool gadgets.

• Wine bottle holder – though I don’t often drink wine, I love having good bottles of wine for the guests.
• Rice cooker & steamer – honestly its often overlooked but a rice cooker has changed my life, I love that its multi-purpose.
• Coffee & Tea maker – I drink coffee when I am doing all-nighters but I am a tea drink thru and thru.
• Accessory fruit bowl – gone are the days of fruit bowls being round dishes, now they can be decorative pieces too.

I am sure there other pieces that you will definitely need to buy when moving into an apartment. But, these are some of the basics that everyone should aim to add to their home.
