Things You Need When You Move Into Your New Apartment Or Renovated House

Moving into a new apartment or renovated house can be very exciting

, but it can also be a lot of work. Here are some things that you can't live without.

1. Plunger: Just in case, you must have one.

2. Shower Curtain: This allows you to get creative, and it can add a lot of flavor to your new bathroom.

3. Toilet bowl brush: You don't want that nasty scum building up in the bowl causing a stink, do you?

4. Towel rack: An over the door rack can save space and is easier than putting screws in the wall.

5. Floor mat: Cold floor=cold feet. Not good. Drips and wet floors are bad too.

6. Dishrack: If you don't have a dishwasher, this is a must have. With it you'll need a drain board so that excess water doesn't spill onto your countertops. A dishrag is helpful too, when you need to wipe stuff around the kitchen.

7. Kitchen stuff: Forks, knives, spoons, wine bottle opener, can opener and cutting board are just some of the things you'll need. Buy the basics at first and add more with each paycheck.

8. Broom and dustpan: To keep the place clean, you'll need this to begin with and other cleaning supplies later.

9. Trash cans: Where else are you going to put the garbage?

10. Clothes hangers: unless you have a huge bureau.

11. Lighting: A nice lamp can do wonders for the mood of a room. Christmas lights, chili pepper lights or whatever other flavor you prefer can help to save electricity and provide the apartment with soft, nice light.

12. Mattress: If you don't have one already, you will probably want to invest.

13. Furniture: A futon is great as a couch because it doubles as a bed. Visit wholesale furniture stores, or look for other people's garbage; sometimes people moving from distressed homes have nice things that they can't fit anymore, so they put them on the curb for other people to take. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

14. Decorate: A tapestry, blanket or carpet is a great way to cover white space. Unique curtains can save you money while lending the place a homey feel. Picture frames, though more expensive are a much classier and adult way to hang your posters and photographs than tacks.

15. Essentials: Shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, paper towels, dish soap, and trash bags are all things that you'll need pretty immediately.

After that, you will start to feel more and more comfortable with your space. You may want a pet, and you will remember things that you like personally, and can't do without, such as candles or a garlic press. Your new home will eventually take its own shape and the cleaner and more creative you are, the more pleasant it will be to live in.
