Moving out and getting your first apartment is a thrilling but nerve-wracking time for many. You have to plan where it is you’d like to move, then you’ll have to budget for it, figure out who your roommates will be, and the list goes on. There is an endless amount of furniture, products, and more for you to get a hold of. But, how many of these types of things will you actually need for your townhouse apartment? We have thrown together a list of some things you really should not go without. Read on for some key items that every first-time apartment owner should have!
Extension Cords
You can not control where the outlets in your townhouse apartment are, so make sure you’re prepared with a few extension cords to be able to put your television or lamp exactly where you want it and not where it has an outlet. If you are plugging in a device into the plug, make sure to buy a surge protector to protect it from any electrical failures.
First Aid Kits
A well-maintained first aid kit is a wonderful thing to have in your bathroom just in case of an emergency or just for a small household mishap. You never know what can go wrong while working in the kitchen, while working out, or moving furniture around.
Knife Block
Having a knife block makes storing knives much easier in your home and safer than placing them all into one drawer where somebody could accidentally harm themselves while looking for something else.
Can Openers and Bottle Openers
Can openers and bottle openers are two of the best inventions that families and young adults need in their kitchens. It is a real necessity, especially if you ever decide to have a small get-together without one.
Desk and Comfortable Work Chair
You will not realize how much you really need a desk and comfortable work chair until you are looking around your townhouse apartment looking for a spot to pay bills or work remotely if that’s what your office is currently doing. A place to comfortably sit and get work done is a necessity.
Bed Frame
This might be a no-brainer for many apartment renters, but do not be the person who throws their mattress on the floor and calls it a day. Even just placing your mattress on a simple box and frame can make your new bedroom look a lot more put together and presentable.
