Your First Rented Home: A Complete List of Essential Items

Moving away from home for the first time can be an exciting experience, however, it does require a lot of preparation. To make your first night comfortable, it’s important to bring the right items along with you. In this guide from Rose Removals, you can discover the essential things to bring to your first rented property.



Rental Furnishings

Before purchasing items for your new home, it’s important to understand your agreement. Some properties come readily equipped with furnishings, such as sofas and beds, while others are left entirely bare. By knowing what your new property comes supplied with, you limit the chances for repeats in items or finding that you need something you don’t have.

The most popular types of rentals include:

●     Furnished

●     White goods only

●     Unfurnished

Bathroom

When first moving into your new home, it’s important to bring all the bathroom necessities with you on your very first day. Key toiletries and items like toilet rolls, hand soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes should be brought with you, as you will need these your first night. You should also bring along a bathroom bin, a toilet brush and some bathroom storage, where needed.

Bedroom

Spending your first night in your new flat requires a comfortable place to sleep. In unfurnished properties, you will likely need to bring along a bedframe and a mattress. Otherwise, you should concentrate on bringing sheets and bedding, including a duvet cover, a duvet, pillows and pillowcases. You will also need ways to store your clothes, so you can bring hangers and a laundry basket for dirty clothing.

Kitchen

Kitchens often require the most items, from cutlery to kitchen appliances. When moving in, it’s important to bring with you essential items that you’re likely to need over your first few days. This can include a set of cutlery, saucepans, cooking utensils, cups and crockery. Remember to also bring along washing up supplies, helping to keep your new space clean.

Other Essentials

Some items cannot be sorted into rooms and will need to be used in multiple rooms, making them easy to forget when you’re packing. The other key essentials you should consider bringing along with you include:

●     A vacuum

●     A kitchen bin

●     Lighting

●     Extension cords

●     Storage solutions
