First Apartment Furniture Essentials
A Place to Recharge
Your first priority should always be a comfortable place to lay your head and rest! A practical bed and good quality mattress set is an investment worth making when you’re first starting out. Choose a timeless and modern bedroom style, making it easy to refresh with new textiles in the future. Shop our small space bedroom furniture selections.
Organization Options
Bedroom organization is key to a peaceful and relaxing environment! With a bedside table, you can place your reading lamp, alarm clock, books or any other items you reach for while in bed. A slimline chest of drawers will also take the bulk of your organization, storing clothing, linen and towels. This is especially essential if you’re low on closet space! Check out our storage furniture options.
Seating Solution
A living room without a sofa isn’t the most comfortable place to spend time relaxing and entertaining. If splurging on your dream sofa is out of reach at this time, start with a sofa or loveseat for small spaces! Stylish, budget-friendly, and easy to set up, these designs and styles are perfect for small spaces. Ready to make the most of your square footage? Explore our small space living room furniture collection and find exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Dining & Work Station
If your coffee table has been doubling as both a desk and a dining spot, you're not alone. A lift-top design can help in a pinch, bringing things to the right height for meals or work, while adding hidden storage for the clutter that comes with both. But if you're ready for something a little more functional (and a lot more stylish), our small space dining furniture selections might just be the upgrade your space deserves.

Extra Counter Space
With many apartments, you might be lacking a little bit of surface space in the kitchen. A bar cart or small kitchen island will give you that extra counter space you require. The best part is that you can simply push it aside when you are done using it!
Moving into a new apartment is exciting, but figuring out what furniture you actually need can feel a little overwhelming. The good news? You don’t need a ton of stuff to make your space feel like home, just the right pieces in the right places. Start with the essentials, add your personal touch, and build from there.
