Before buying furniture, a crucial and logical assessment must be made: will it fit? It seems basic enough, but it's a problem many find themselves struggling with after buying new furniture.
You can easily avoid this issue. The old fashioned way is measuring your room dimensions and the dimensions of any furniture you intend to buy. Then imagine its placement and measure to ensure it fits. Or you can use an online room planner, which designs professional looking layouts and offers furniture models. These give you the opportunity to see your room take shape, no sweat required.
Now that we have got that out of the way, let’s proceed to furniture fundamentals:
Bed - Besides the obvious use, it will most likely be your couch, your dining table, even your home office.
Dishes, Cups, eating utensils - Early cavemen have long been extinct, thus eating like one might be below your species accepted threshold. Consider investing in some dinnerware.
Trash can - We generate trash daily, if you don’t want it in your new apartment, trash cans come in handy.
Curtains and Blinds - Private moments are meant to be private, curtains and blinds help protect those times.
Armoire, closet organizer - Unless you prefer the “random piles of multi-colored clothing around your apartment” approach to your closet organization.
Sofa - Unless you prefer your guests to sit on your bed, it is vital to create a pleasant social atmosphere.
Shower curtains - Keeps the water in and is able to give your bathroom that pizazz it might be missing.
Fan - Makes any hot room bearable as well as making any cold room’s heat source permeate to reach your graces.
Table/Desk - Comes in handy for the bills you’ll have to pay, the meals you’ll eat, and offers the computer a place to stay.
Chair - Unless you like standing, or are really tall when you sit down, a chair is heaven sent.
Lamp - Helps create ambience in a room as well as acting as a spare light source in case the main light blows out.
Bookshelf - There are always documents and books to be stored and a bookshelf creates organization.
