The kitchen is where meals are prepared, shared, and memories are made. Here's a basic checklist to get you started:
Essentials:
Cooking essentials: A good set of pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, and utensils are the foundation for any culinary adventure. Consider starter sets or individual pieces based on your cooking style.
Appliances: While major appliances like ovens and refrigerators might already be present, consider smaller appliances like microwaves, toasters, and kettles depending on your needs.
Storage solutions: Optimize your space with organizers, shelves, and containers. This keeps things accessible and prevents clutter.
Cleaning supplies: Basic cleaning equipment like dish soap, sponges, and dish towels are crucial for maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen.
The Oasis of Relaxation: Bathroom Essentials
The bathroom is a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. Here are the essentials for creating your personal spa-like bathroom:
Essentials:
Towels: Invest in a good set of bath towels, hand towels, and face cloths, preferably made from soft and absorbent material.
Shower essentials: Shower curtain or shower door (depending on your setup), & a bath mat.
Toiletries: Stock up on basic toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, and toothpaste.
Cleaning supplies: Toilet cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and disinfectant wipes are essential for maintaining a clean and hygienic bathroom.
The Hub of Entertainment: Living Room Essentials
The living room is the heart of your social space, a place to gather with loved ones, unwind after a long day, or simply enjoy some quiet time. Here's what you need to make it comfortable and inviting:
Essentials:
Seating: A comfortable sofa or armchair is a must-have. Consider your space and needs when choosing the size and style.
Coffee table: This provides a central surface for placing drinks, snacks, and other living room essentials.
Lighting: A combination of overhead lighting and lamps creates different moods and caters to various activities.
Window coverings: Curtains, blinds, or shades offer privacy, light control, and add an aesthetic touch.
Most importantly, before you start buying your home essentials, you should think about getting a survey of your new home and not being reliant on a mortgage valuation.
By having a survey you can identify any potential repairs needed before you buy luxury items for your new home.
