Essential Furniture For Your First Apartment

Your first apartment isn’t just an oddly shaped square box where you will now start living. It’s the start of your journey as an independent individual. So, it only makes sense that when it comes to furnishing your first apartment it can be both exciting and overwhelming. 


To help you with that–today, we are going to give you a helping hand in making your new living space comfortable and more functional. 

Bedroom Essentials

  • It doesn’t need to be said that a good night’s sleep is crucial for your well-being. So, naturally, it only makes sense that you start off by buying a quality mattress and a sturdy bed frame that suits your style. Furthermore, If you have a small space, you can even use options like platform beds or lofted frames to save space. 
  • Also, don’t forget essential bedding items like sheets, pillows, and a comforter–while you're at it, try to buy a set of twos for convenience. 
  • You can even install a small table beside your bed, allowing you to put a fancy lamp, book, or a personal item on it. 
  • Buying a dresser or storage will allow you to keep your clothes organized and store your extra bedding. 

Living Room Essentials

  • You can start here by choosing a comfortable sofa or futon that fits your space–and if you are someone who likes to host watch parties then why not go for a sleeper sofa? 
  • A coffee table will help in creating a central place for your drinks, snacks or decor–and the best part is it doesn't need to be big, just functional.
  • You can even install a television to create an entertainment center, where you can store and organize your media devices and library while also keeping it tidy.

Dining Area Essentials

  • Even a little dining table can help in multiple ways–from your meals, work or even board games, and if your space is tight, you can even go for bar stools for your kitchen counter. 
  • If your apartment doesn't have a kitchen counter space,  you can use a portable island, which will provide you with extra room for your cooking and dining. 

Tips for Budget-Friendly Shopping

Furnishing your first apartment doesn’t require you to break your bank back. Here are a few friendly tips to bedazzle your apartment even on a budget. 


  • You can start by checking your local thrift shops or other platforms like the Facebook marketplace to find affordable second-hand furniture. 
  • Try to buy furniture that can serve your multiple purposes–like an ottoman with storage or a coffee table that can be converted into a dining table. 
  • Even if you are not a handyman, you can find easy-to-build furniture that is almost always on the cheap side and the best part is that they come in different shapes and sizes.
