Hello World! Welcome Friends! You’ve just moved into your new home or apartment and want everything to be perfect. No more cluttered and unorganized spaces. You are making a commitment to be clean and tidy in your new place. As well as, truly making it your own design aesthetic. But, before we pick out new paint colors, it’s time to make a list of the 5 Must Have Essentials for your Home.
1. Kitchen Essentials
Having your kitchen clean and stocked before you move in is essential to the success of your move. Other than having the pantry and refrigerator stocked there are a few items that will make life a little easier as you transition into your new home. Top on the list are paper towels and a paper towel holder. Paper towels are great to have on hand when you are setting up house and you haven’t unpacked your cleaning cloths. Next would be your dishes, glassware and flatware. You want to make sure you get those unpacked quickly so that you can start having proper meals on your own dishes rather than paper plates. To organize those dishes and cutlery, you will need drawer and cabinet organizers. Once you have moved in, you can measure your cabinets and drawers to make sure you are purchasing the correct size of organizers.
Now that you are busy setting up house, you need to make sure you and your loved ones are staying hydrated. Having a reusable water bottle for each person will help to not only keep them hydrated, but also keep the use down of plastic water bottles. Other essentials include dish towels, oven mitts, cutting boards, cookware, mixing bowls, small appliances and food storage. For more info, you can check https://www.stonefryingpans.
2. Bath Essentials
Along with setting up your kitchen, the bathroom is top on the priority list for getting set up quickly. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to get the bathroom set up. The essentials you will need for the bathroom are toilet paper, hand towels, hand soap, washcloths, bath towels and a waste basket. For the shower, if there isn’t a glass door on the shower you will need a shower curtain, shower liner, shower hooks or rings and shower rod.
3. Cleaning, Laundry & Utility Essentials
Having an organized cleaning caddy and laundry room will be most helpful in your quest to keep a clean, tidy and organized home. Before moving in, make sure you have a cleaning caddy filled with your favorite cleaning products, micro-fiber cloths, and paper towels. If there is space in your new laundry room, have a place for mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners. Make sure that you have a stock of laundry detergent and any products you use for doing the laundry. In addition, it’s a good idea to have a supply of batteries, matches, candles, extension cords, and surge protectors. And, don’t forget the First Aid Kit for minor cuts and abrasions.
4. Bedroom Essentials
Another room to get set up quickly is your bedroom. You will want a comfortable place to rest at the end of a long moving day. If you are unable to get the bed frame together go ahead and set the mattress and box springs on the floor for the first night. Some of the essentials needed on that first night are a mattress pad, sheet set, pillows, pillowcases, a blanket and comforter or duvet cover. At the end of a long day of moving and cleaning, you will appreciate a made bed to rest and rejuvenate.
5. Home Decor Essentials
The main things needed in this category for the move is furniture. You will want to make sure the movers know where to place the furniture in each room. Prior to the move, you will want to come up with a plan to ensure the furniture placement is exactly what you had in mind. Another key essential is window coverings. If you are able to get measurements of your windows prior to move in, you can have your window coverings ordered ahead of time. After the furniture has been placed and the windows dressed, now comes the fun part of filling the home with accessories. Picture frames, wall art, lamps, toss pillows, and throws add up to make a house a home. Great home decoration is putting your stamp on your new home.
