When moving into an apartment, there are just some things you know you’ll need to have handy. Pots and pans, dishes, a broom, towels – the list of everyday items you’ll need goes on and on. But, beyond these essentials, there are also a number of “non-essential” items that every apartment should have. These are things that, while you may not need them on a daily basis, can simply help to make your apartment a homier space.
Here are five items that everyone should have in their apartment:
- Extra blankets – It’s always good to have extra blankets on hand. Whether you’ll eventually need them for a particularly chilly night or a friend who unexpectedly crashes on your couch, extra blankets are a must for your apartment.
- Tool box – Having a toolkit at your apartment can come in handy when you least expect it. There’s nothing worse than putting together a new piece of furniture only to realize halfway through that you need a hammer or screwdriver to get the job done.
- Flashlight – The first time you lose power in your apartment during a bad storm, you may find yourself panicking if you don’t have a flashlight you can grab.
- First-aid kit – You never know when an accident will leave you in need of a bandage. And, when that time comes, you’ll be glad you have one available.
- Pictures and décor – These items can help turn your new apartment into your home by adding a bit of your personality into your new space.
