Essential services and furniture for your new house


When the time of moving houses comes, especially for those who do it for the first time, one should organize and start searching for the essential items. Before moving, the person should check if he/she has all the basics. For those who are scare of forgetting something, we will enumerate the furniture and services that you must have before moving:

Let’s start with the basic services that you must have:

-    Electricity: Without electricity, you won’t be able to do much, especially at night. If you have an electric oven, you will be in even more trouble. Electricity is a must.

-    Gas: Besides using it for cooking (for those who have the burners and oven that works with gas), it is also necessary for having hot water at home.

-    Water: You will need to bathe, wash something and other basic needs for which water is of the essence, so you definitely need water before you move into a house.

-    Others: A telephone is something you can rescind of at first, especially if you have a mobile phone. Same thing happens with the Internet service, except you work from home, and then you will definitely need an Internet service provider ASAP. These two services and some other are not mandatory to have as soon as you move in… they can wait.

Now, let’s pass onto the furniture and appliances that you should have before moving:

-    Bed (or mattress): In order to have a good night sleep and survive the daily hustle and bustle, a good bed (or at least a good mattress) is a must.

-    Fridge: The fridge is an electrical appliance that you must have at home as soon as you move in, since most of the food we eat every day require refrigeration.

-    Table or coffee table or the like: Having a table, whether small, big, medium, or whatever you find at hand, is a good option. This will provide a place to eat. If you have a coffee table, you may find some cushions and sit on the floor (you won't even need chairs!)

-    Oven: The oven, as well as the fridge, is an item that we tend to use a lot. Whether you have an electric oven or one that run with gas, whether big or small, it won’t matter, but you will need one.

-    Others: If you already have a bed, a fridge and an oven, you will survive. The rest of the furniture as the couch, a good eating table with chairs, a TV (if you want one), a Computer (again, if you need one), closets, etc. will come with time…

So, now you know which furniture, services and electrical appliances you need to get before moving into a house. Of course that the more you have, the better it will be, but it is also nice to buy things you like little by little, so you can make out of your new house, a home.
