I'm prepping to actually have a place of my own (first time). I know I need a mattress, a lamp, toilet paper, and stuff to make food in (along with the food), but I feel like I'm missing a couple things. It's a small studio, so I don't expect to need anymore than two lamps (maybe not even that if there's already fixed lighting, they're remodeling a couple units so I'm not sure how it's going to look, but everyone I know that lives/has lived there said it's for real and it checks out in my book.).

Curtains unless you want people looking in. Cleaning supplies, especially the floor, kitchen, and bathroom. Don’t forget toiletries. Towels. Even with overhead lights a lamp would be nice. Pillows. Sheets. A blanket. You’ll figure it out once you’re there. No need to buy everything at once. Start living there and then buy a bit at a time, especially if you don’t have much room.

A bed. I mean mattress is ok but eventually you want a bed. If it’s a studio, you want to save space. Ikea has beds with massive storage drawers. The one we have also has shelves on the side and a shelf over headboard. You can fit everything in that storage. You don’t need dresser or shelves. It fits everything!!!! Ours is full size as it’s in the spare bedroom for grandkids etc But my daughter has one with less storage and twin size but it opens up into full size if need to. They aren’t expensive. But they are life saving beds for small places because of storage.

How about a first aid kit and fire extinguisher?
ITA that you'll build what you need very intuitively as you begin to live there. Congrats on the move. |
