Overview

We'll be covering all the essentials for your:

  • Bedroom 🛏️
  • Kitchen 🍳
  • Living Room 🛋️
  • Bathroom 🚽
  • Cleaning 🧹

Moving into an unfurnished apartment or house can be pretty chaotic. That's where this checklist of all the things you'll need will come in handy.

Here are some cheeky hot tips:

1️⃣ Don't frazzle yourself! The list is long but bear in mind, so many little things can be knocked out in one shop at Kmart, IKEA... wherever floats your dingy.

2️⃣ Things like microwaves, toasters, couches... actually, honestly everything can be found on Facebook marketplace and even on the side of the road if you're patient. I nabbed a kettle, toaster, some dining chairs, a fan and even a skateboard on the side of the road.

3️⃣ Settling into a place takes time! Take it from me who just did it two weeks ago. We still don't have much art, plants or rugs. But all in good time!

Alright, let's get into it!
