Bedroom Essentials For First Apartment

Making a checklist of all the items you need is step one toward renting your first apartment. Let’s take a look at everything you’ll need to fill out your bedroom.

Apartment Bedroom Essentials

Here is a list of the most essential items needed for modern bedrooms.

Mattress

If your goal is to budget and save as much money as possible, purchasing a twin bed is the way to go. Ikea offers many sensible options for first-time renters to look into.

Bed Frame

Typically, you’ll be able to buy a mattress and bed frame together. A bed frame can really improve the appeal of your bedroom.

Sheets

Sheets and blankets are a necessity for any bed set. Ideally, you’ll want two sets.

Mattress Topper

Do not skip out on purchasing a mattress topper. Protecting your mattress should always be a priority.

Pillows

Pillows could come with a set, or you can shop around for whatever feels best.

Nightstand

A nightstand could be anything you’d like it to be. You can get a traditional nightstand or a simple side table.

Lighting

Try to choose a lamp for your lighting needs. Even better, find a lamp that you can turn off from the bed.

Hangers

Whether you have a full closet or not, you’ll undoubtedly have some clothing items that need hangers.

Laundry Hamper

A pop-up hamper is an easy way to save both money and space.

Storage Space

If you have a large closet and/or dresser, you may not need any extra space to store clothes and other items. With that being said, cloth or plastic drawers always come in handy.

Here are a few extra items you may choose to add for your bedroom:

• Shoe rack.
• Dresser.
• Curtains.
• Curtain rods.
• Bookshelf.
• Desk.
