Buying your first home is a huge milestone and an exciting time. One of the most exciting things about having your own home is being able to add your personal touch. And one of the best ways to do that is to add furniture.
With so many furniture options, it is hard to decide on what to buy first, which is why we’ve brought you a list of the essentials for your very first home.
List of 4 important furniture you must have in your 1st home
i) A good quality bed
If you are getting the recommended 8 hours a day of sleep, you are essentially spending one-third of your life in your bed. It’s no wonder a quality bed tops the list of first home essentials.
When looking for a good quality bed, make sure that it has a mattress that fits your comfort needs. Take time to check out the quality of wood that was used to build the frame, and stay away from lower quality wood like pine. Finally, choose a bed that fits your style needs, so when you finally lay down to rest after a long day, it will be an aesthetic sanctuary that will allow you the sleep you deserve.
ii) Dining room set
Outside of your bedroom, the kitchen and dining area is where you will likely spend a lot of your time. Not only is it where you will prepare and eat your meals, but it is where you will serve guests who come to see your new home.
When choosing a dining room set, consider your immediate and future needs. Take into consideration the number of people in your family, and if you plan on adding to that number in the near future. You may want to take into account future guests and invest in a table that you can extend to accommodate more people.
iii) Couches
The living room area is often the first room you walk into when you enter your home, and as such, it needs to be inviting to both you and your guests. This is where you may want to look at adding a more decorative touch.
Consider purchasing modern couches for a sleek, sophisticated look that is also welcoming and comfortable. With so many options to choose from, you will no doubt be able to find a set that will fit both your style and comfort needs.
iv) End tables and dressers
End tables and dressers, while not places to sleep, eat or sit, are essential furniture items. Dressers will house your clothing and perhaps serve as a place to store loose ends in your bedroom and living room.
End tables are great to have at the side of your bed and couch to serve as a place to put a lamp, books and other items that you don’t want on the floor. Just like many furniture items, quality is important if you want these things to last a long time.
After all, your first home is a big investment, so why not invest in the future of that home with quality pieces that will stand the test of time.
