Whether you are moving out of your parents’ house or starting afresh after the end of a relationship, moving into your own home is an opportunity for a fresh start and a new life. Although this is an exciting time, it can also be full of apprehension – there are bills to pay alone and homeware essentials to purchase to add some comfort to your home. To help you out at this exciting time in your life, here are four homeware essentials to purchase for your own home.
Lamps
Your property is probably already kitted out with ceiling lights; however, you may want to add free-standing lamps to certain rooms for a more controlled source of light. In a study, for instance, a reading lamp has a flexible stand so that you can position the light directly onto the page, helping to prevent eye strain during long working or study hours. In your bedroom, you may want lamps with a softer light, helping you to unwind before bed. You could even consider buying a salt lamp or lava lamp for your bedroom for even more relaxation.
Cutlery
Cutlery is one aspect of homeware that seems obvious – until the first night in your own home when you realise you have no instruments to prepare or eat a meal! Invest in good quality stainless steel cutlery sets consisting of knives, forks, spoons, and teaspoons from Lincoln House. These can be used both by yourself individually and by guests that you are entertaining at your new home. Furthermore, buy the basic tools you need for food preparation. A set of high-quality kitchen knives and scissors is essential, as is a wooden spoon for mixing ingredients with and serving food. You may, over time, decide to add to your collection of cutlery and kitchen equipment, but these are the essentials.
Crockery, pots, and pans
As with cutlery, basic items of pots, pans, and crockery are essential for the serving and eating of food in your new home. A set of basic crockery consisting of dining plates, side plates, bowls, and cups should fulfil your everyday and entertainment dining needs. You should also purchase the basic pans needed for meal preparation – saucepans in several different sizes, a frying pan, and baking trays will enable you to cook delicious meals for yourself.
Vacuum cleaner
A vacuum cleaner is essential for keeping your new house hygienic and in tip-top condition, and there are a variety of models available to suit your household needs. If you dislike the hassle of using vacuum cleaner bags, look for a robust bagless option like a Dyson, or for a cute and classic design, you can’t go wrong with a reliable Henry Hoover. You can also find different accessories that are compatible with your vacuum cleaner to help you to thoroughly clean tighter, more difficult-to-reach spaces. Or, you could even invest in a handheld hoover for easy removal of pet hair from furniture. This could come in very handy if you have a car, too!
