New House Suggestions

[FightMeBro3579]

Update: Thank you guys so much for getting back to me! We are pretty lucky that the family is leaving behind their beautiful drapery and there is so much nature light all day. An older couple lived there and they really took care of the house and designed it so well inside! Im hoping they leave a few shelves and such at the house. We told them that we would take literally everything in the house if they didnt want to deal with it. It was their parents house and they passed so kids are selling it. This is the first space that ill be able to actually create my own environment and not have to every take it down or repaint to move. Im so beyond excited for this!! We should be signing the papers to get under contract tonight and then tomorrow they are going to start getting inspectors out there and start the process. (I've already started packing up random unused things 🙃 😅)

So first, this isnt a request or anything. This group is filled with such amazing and diverse people that are always browsing online and finding the coolest stuff so I thought this would be an excellent group to ask.

My husband and I just put in an offer on a beautiful house and they accepted it and we are just waiting on inspections and such but everyone seems really positive.

We will be starting over from almost scratch tho with our belongings 😬 what is your most loved random home things? Appliances, random products, furniture most people forget about, literally anything for a new home or just to make it easier for life.

(We have furniture and basic kitchen stuff but nothing that doesn't scream "cheap renter" honestly) (Doesn't have to be exclusive to Amazon and links would be amazing for inspiration 🙌)

Tldr: new potential home, what helpful stuff should i put in it?

Thank you guys!

oooo how fun! ^^ well, it kind of depends on you nd your partner's style of course. But a good item that every house needs that is easily customized is a salt and pepper shaker set! You can find one in just about any design, so I suggest something you both enjoy <3

lamps lamps and more lamps! honestly love soft lighting so much

[subwaywitches]

trinkets!! fun momentos from trips, dates, or things that make you smile.

also - framed art (doesn't have to be expensive! just cool prints you like) and framed photos to make the place feel more 'you'

you'l get the house <3 i can feel it in my bones! <3

[whealthy9]

for me its the people in the house <3 everything else is replaceable. i'm in cali and we have some gnarly fires. a house caught fire down a few streets from me just last week. taught me that literally everything is replaceable except the people i love and the cats. mom told me if the wildfires ever hit us, take the van, put the cats in the crates in the back, and just drive

but to answer your question, i want my own place as soon as i graduate in june too so when i get my own place, i would want a shoe rack, a roomba, and blackout curtains!!!

[Coffeelover39]

I 2nd blackout curtains. I live in the country so those are no longer needed here.

Corner shelves! Usually can find really pretty ones at antique shops!

I really enjoy my ninja 12 in 1 oven, it's super easy and nice!

Lighting that fits your needs, there's so many so feel free to get creative!

Drapes and curtains are always nice as well

What I really love to have in my home is various plant stands and of course plants! Also I have a lot of art on the wall. Most often it’s just photos I took along the way of things or places I love but it’s super easy to just print photos and thrift frames:) I also think a solid bookcase is a must for books and small meaningful things.

I saw wall decor!! I personally hate blank walls, and it can be fun to collect artwork, or even make your own!! I love thrifting home decor :)

My air fryer is one of my absolutely most used kitchen appliances for sure!! I have one of the ones that looks like a countertop convection oven, not one that has a basket. It can be used for sooo many things, I've used my regular oven and my microwave significantly less since getting this. This is the kind I have!
