If you are getting ready to move into one of One 51 Place’s stunning apartments, you are likely excited to know you will soon be a resident in one of the area’s top communities. You also likely have a laundry list of things to do before you move in – change your address, get your electricity turned on, hire movers, and more.

While many of the tasks related to moving are mundane at best, moving into a new apartment also often comes with the exciting chore of shopping. Whether you are moving out on your own for the first time and need quite a few items, or you’re simply looking to update your possessions with the latest and greatest, here are five must-have items for your One 51 Place apartment:

• Bedroom bench – A small bench placed in front of your bed gives you a place to sit without messing up your perfectly made bed. It also gives you a place to put items (folded laundry, shopping bags, etc.) without dumping them on the floor.
• Shoe rack – To keep your entryway organized, purchase a shoe rack. You can store your shoes there as soon as you enter your apartment, and it can also hold other items you use every day like your jacket and purse.
• A conversation piece – Whether it is a unique piece of wall art, a hand-painted vase, or something different entirely, invest in one item that will give your apartment a unique touch and prompt your guests to ask about it.
• Storage ottoman – Not only is a storage ottoman the perfect place to rest your feet, it will also give you invaluable storage space to hide some items in plain sight.
• Area rug – Add a touch of color and personality to your space with an area rug. You can place one under your dining table or in your living room.
