Decorating your first apartment is exciting and quite an adventure. But while you are busy thinking up the perfect indoor decor, here is an apartment checklist of things you are going to need for your new home. We've got you covered with essentials for every important room.
Your living room should be an extension of your personality. It should be a room decorated to accommodate various functions as well as you when rest and relaxation are needed. You can make the best use of your living room space by adding a sleeper couch; they double up as a bed and are perfect for accommodating guests from out of town, especially handy if yours is a one-bedroom apartment. Make sure you add a comfortable couch set, coffee table, and a few potted plants to add charm to the entire space. Adding a television is not a bad idea too, for when you want to spend the day at home or invite some friends over for a movie and dinner.
There are plenty of creative options to choose from for your bedroom. You can go for a themed décor pattern or get creative and do a mix-n-match kind of retro look. Make sure your bedroom is as personal as you can make it. And if you like some of the popular Battaramulla apartments, you are lucky enough to own a spacious three-bedroom apartment in Sri Lanka. Then you can choose to decorate each bedroom to a theme. Choose a colour theme or even your favourite destinations to coordinate each room. Stylish apartments for sale offered by credible realtors like Prime Residencies are well designed. Bedroom essentials include a mattress, pillows, dresser, linen, mattress protector, and clothes stand or hangers.
Decide on the furniture you need for your kitchen depending on its size. A kitchenette may need one or two barstools, while a larger room will accommodate a small table and some chairs. Other than for furniture, here are kitchen essentials you must get ready; glasses, plates, mugs, chopping board, knives, cutlery, trash bin, dish towels, and a refrigerator. Buy a handy spice rack with bottles as well as containers for storing leftover food. If you plan on baking, get a few essentials like a baking tray and standard cake tins.
Moving into your new apartment you will want to put together a selection of cleaning products to ensure you keep your brand-new residence spotless and sparkling clean. Here are some must-have items for everyday cleaning. Liquid cleaners like Lysol that can be used for countertops, bathroom, and floors, toilet brush and toilet cleaner, dishwashing liquid and a sponge, broom, and dustpan, paper towels, and trash bags.
These too are essentials for any home; therefore, make sure to get some of the below items. Antibiotic ointment, band-aids, bandage, muscle spray, fever medication, stomach flue medication. Make up a small toolbox with a torch, screwdriver-flat and Phillips head, duct tape, pliers, light bulbs to fit the sockets, scotch tape, hammer, nails, and hooks, measuring tape, and batteries.
Enjoy your new apartment home!
