First Apartment Packing List Items We’re Currently Obsessed With:

Kitchen:

1. Bar Stools

Like… are you joking! These bar stools are so cute and the studded detail just makes them even better. Personally, I like when bar stools have a back for extra support so these are perfect!

2. Pots & Pans

I love the look of the white granite on these! It is a 10 piece set of all nonstick cookware. This is definitely a practical investment for a new apartment!

3. Dishes & Bowls

I have white glass bowls with the beaded detail just like these! This cute dishware set comes with everything!

4. Blender

My family has tried a lot of different blenders and I always just thought they were all good. Then, I brought my Ninja blender to college and my roommate could not believe how good it was! She would tell me every week haha.

I quickly realized it was a really good blender and literally blends through anything. If you like making smoothies, milk shakes, acai bowls, or frozen drinks, I promise this blender is for you!!!

5. Keurig

If you’re a coffee or tea drinker, having a coffee maker in your apartment is so helpful! I know a Keurig is expensive, but I always tell myself that in the long run it helps me safe money.

If I didn’t have one, I would buy a lot more Starbucks haha. They are super easy to use too! I also like this version because it takes up less counter space.

6. Microwave

If you’re apartment doesn’t come with a microwave, I definitely recommend getting one. I love having my microwave to quickly reheat leftovers and pop some popcorn for movie nights.

Living Room:

1. Chairs

If your apartment is unfurnished, these chairs look so comfy!

2. Coffee Table

I feel like this coffee table would look good in any living room! I love the look of the wood on the white.

3. TV

You will definitely want a nice TV in your apartment! I love my amazon fire stick and bet their TV is great too!

Bedroom:

1. Mattress Topper

This 4 inch mattress topper will make your mattress SO much more comfy!! I have a 4 inch topper similar to this one and it’s the best!

2. Nightstand

This nightstand is perfect for holding a few important items next to your bed.

3. Desk

We love the look of this white and gold chic desk. All you need is a comfy desk chair and your computer and you’ll be ready to work!

Cleaning:

1. Vacuum

You will definitely want a good vacuum to make cleaning a lot easier! This vacuum is also cordless which is so nice!

Bathroom:

1. Blow Dryer

My roommate’s sister let me borrow this blow dryer and it is the best! My hair takes forever to dry, like so long it is annoying.

I really didn’t think any blow dryer would work, but this one cut the time it takes me to dry my hair in half. I will never use another blow dryer again!

2. Straightener

This is the BEST straightener ever. I got this straightener in middle school and still use it today! I love the rose gold coloring on this one and it’s on sale.

3. Curling Iron

I got this curling iron for Christmas and it’s so so good. Until I started using a wand like this I could never curl my hair. I definitely recommend this one!
