Moving into a new home? Make sure you have these essentials!

From kitchen gadgets to bathroom must-haves, this checklist will ensure you have everything you need for your new abode.

1. Window Treatments

In addition to helping control light, temperature and privacy, window treatments contribute to the overall look and feel of a room. 

2. Lighting

Another item that tops our list of things to buy for a new house is lighting. Most homes do not come complete with fixtures, and if they do, chances are they are not your style at all.

3. Floor Coverings

If you have tile or hardwood flooring, you may be hesitant to cover them, but you’ll definitely want to soften those babies up. Plus, if you’ve got kiddos and pets, rugs will make everything safer and warmer.

4. Houseplants

Houseplants literally liven up any room by adding an element of nature that helps bring the outside in.

5. Electronics and Appliances

A first home essentials checklist has to include electronics and appliances to ensure your space works as efficiently as possible. 

6. Mattress

Your new home shopping list wouldn’t be complete without this very comfortable, very essential piece – a mattress
