College Essentials for Your First Apartment

College Essentials for Your First Apartment

Moving into Your Own Style.

Move in day has finally arrived. Say goodbye to curfews and rent-free living! You’re an adult now. And while your responsibilities have matured, your childhood furniture has not. Start this chapter of your life with a few essentials that will upgrade your lifestyle on any budget. Grand Home Furnishings has some suggestions on how to make it happen.

Decide What You Need
First thing; if you plan to have a roommate discuss what furniture you’re responsible for bringing to the new apartment. Whether you’re moving into a dorm or an apartment, in any shared space, there is no room for two of anything. If you’re living alone, take inventory of what you already have and consider whether your existing furniture will work in your new space.

#1 Mattress
Invest in a new mattress. Quality sleep is a given, but a new mattress can pay off years down the line because quality lasts. Bed-in-a-box options are easy to transport and set up. The Nectar Full Mattress is a great beginner upgrade. It has a removable and washable cover, which can help with allergens. And it comes with a lifetime guarantee. Well worth the purchase.

#2 Futon
Capitalize on all your square footage with furniture that saves space.

And do it in style. A futon is a classic college piece, and for a good reason. It’s a sofa and a bed! This means you gain extra sleeping space for guests without losing any space in your apartment. This Futon and Ottoman has easy-to-clean faux leather and built-in cupholders.

#3 Desk
Find a desk that is has the workspace that you need and fits into your home without taking up too much space. Smaller desk options are available. These affordable desks will save you space and money.

#4 Storage
If you’re moving into a shared space, storage is a must. Keep all of your stuff organized and out of the way with these fun storage bins. With lots of cube colors to choose from, you’ll be sure to find some that complement your décor.

#5 Accessories
Bedding, lighting, shelving—all essentials that shouldn’t be overlooked. Sometimes a simple area rug can be the missing piece to pull a room together. Don’t forget to accessorize your space, not only for aesthetics but for the value each piece adds to the overall functionality of your apartment. The Marinel floor lamp is a curved lamp that will perfectly fit your space.

With its minimalist design, it will be a great companion for pulling all-nighters.

These are just some of the essentials you’ll want to get for your new space. From here, build your dream dorm or apartment. Grand Home Furnishings will be there along the way, with style, selection, and everyday savings. Good luck!
