Move in is the next few weeks. I've lived on my "own" (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I'm hopefully moving out for good this time.
Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.
Things I'm already considering:
- Drain guard
- Bidet
- Cold brew coffee maker
- Rice cooker
- Space heater? I'd like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I'm in
- Key for washer/dryer
Things I already have:
- Most furniture
- Air fryer
- Seltzer water thingy
- Meal prep containers
General advice is also welcome!
House plants, rugs, lamps and wall art go a long way towards making stuff look more adult-like and "complete".
As far as amenities go, a space heater is pretty meh and they cause a fair amount of house fires. Don't recommend it. Someone said heating blanket which I will second if you're trying to save cash.
Rice cookers are great, but honestly rice isn't that hard in a pot so I would prioritize other stuff first.
Bidets are life changing, and they help save on toilet paper which is nice.
The French press is a really cheap purchase for making coffee and quite versatile.
Yes, I picked up a 1L and a 1.5L French press at an op shop, and use them for cold brew tea and coffee in summer. Just leave it in the fridge and yim yum
