When it comes to your first ever property it is likely you’re going to be clueless as to what you’re going to need. But don’t panic. Plenty of people have been through and are going through the exact same thing. A lot of people tend to over buy when it comes to their first property, you see lots of pretty things and think that will look great in your new place. However, eventually you’ll find yourselves cluttering up the house! So for your first home just go for buying the essentials. But what are the essentials?
Depending on whether you’re going into a furnished or unfurnished property will depends on what essentials you will need.
Furnished property – this usually means that white goods have been left/ supplied in the property for you so you won’t need to go shopping for a bed, washing machine, fridge, freezer. But you won’t be left with the things to put within the rooms. Unfurnished will obviously have none of these things and so you will have to buy all these and furniture.
Obviously there is so much you can buy for your house, but you should start with the bare essentials, especially if you’re on a small budget.. So from room to room…
Kitchen 
Cutlery
Plates
Bowls
Glasses
Mugs
Livingroom
Seating
TV (not very essential though)
Telephone
Bedroom
Bed
Curtains
Wardrobe
Drawers
This doesn’t seem like much, and remember these are just the main essentials, there are so many more things you need/can get, but it all amounts to a lot of money depending what you’re buying and where you’re buying your products from!

Buying a bed takes a lot more thinking about than most think, I mean it is the place you’ll want to be comfiest, it is where you spend your evenings getting the well deserved rest from the day you’ve had to prepare yourself for the next day ahead. So when buying a bed there are a few things to consider.
There are SO many beds, frames and mattresses you can get your hands on so you’ll need to do some research first. You’ll need to know what kind of bed you’re looking for, do you want a memory foam mattress? Which is the best? Do you want a bed in which has a lot of storage space? There is a lot more to consider than you may think.
You may see a bed you like but you’ll need to consider whether it will actually suit your room. If you have a large room a big four poster bed will look great! If you have a smaller room then you’ll have to opt for something smaller, but nonetheless there are some amazing beds in which you can choose from.
Once you have decided what bedframe you want you’ll then need to decide what kind of mattress you are looking for, this is the fun part. Go to a mattress shop and try out every mattress available, which is the most comfortable, which do you find best to lie on? You will have to think about all this, don’t rush into buying a mattress if you’re not dead set on the comfort as remember you’ll be having to sleep on this every night.
The living room is likely to be the main place where you will have guests and so you want it look at its best. So when decorating your living room it is advisable to have a plan in mind as you what you would like it to look like. You don’t need to know all the fine details of what it will look like but just have a general idea will help make the whole process of decorating your living room that little bit easier.
When it comes to actually decorating you should make sure you do a lot of research, look through magazines, catalogues or on the internet. Search for colours, styles, furniture and anything that will help you designing. Once you have a found a few things you like you will be able to make a decision, once you have made a decision don’t change it, that is the worst thing to do. Make a decision and stick to it.
So, you have chosen your style and colour scheme, lighting. Lighting will help set the mood within your room so this can be a vital part. Decide what you are going to be using the room for and what atmosphere you want to create and then pick out lighting that will help create this setting and atmosphere.
Furniture. Obviously this is essential. You’re not going to have a room with no furniture. So for a living room you will need to think about how many people at most you will need to seat and then buy a practical sofa with enough space for everyone! Will you need a little coffee table, perhaps several? These are all things you will need to take into consideration. Curtains are also something you need to get right and they will look best if they match the colour of the furniture.
Finally, remember what you are using the room for, if you need a certain amount of space left don’t fill it with accessories or extra furniture just because there is a space, if you need it leave it. There is always space for a nice painting or picture on the wall too.
