Living Room
Everything I'm considering for making the living room cozy, functional, and actually cute.
Cute, compact, has hidden storage, and can double as both a work desk and a space for my DIY projects.
Fluted Computer Desk with 2 Drawers, for Small Spaces
It gives me extra storage, another usable surface, and the warm wood finish fits the cozy look I want for my living room.
Lift-Top Coffee Table with Hidden Storage
The mix of glass, warm wood, and rattan adds texture without making the room feel heavy, and I love getting extra storage out of a piece that’s still really pretty.
Oval Rattan & Glass Coffee Table
I wanted my sofa to feel like part of the decor instead of choosing another basic neutral couch, and this gives me the cozy, slightly bougie pink living room moment I’ve been picturing.
Pink 89-Inch Cloud Sofa
Rio obviously needs his own couch, and I love that this one gives him a dedicated spot while still looking cute enough to work with the living room decor.
Frisco Sofa Pet Bed
It gives me adjustable lighting without needing another table or surface for a lamp, and the slim design should be easy to tuck beside the sofa or into a corner.
Modern Arc Floor Lamp with Adjustable Linen Shade
I love that this is a 2-in-1 candle and wax warmer, so I can use it with whichever scent I’m in the mood for without needing an open flame. It also looks neutral enough to leave out as decor instead of hiding it away.
Candle Warmers ETC 2-in-1 Candle & Wax Warmer
I’m adding this for Rio because I want a way to block off certain areas of the apartment without having a bulky pet gate sitting in the middle of the living room all the time. This one is wall-mounted and retracts out of the way when I’m not using it...
Regalo Retractable Baby Safety Gate
Bedroom
I wanted something sturdy, simple and super low to the ground so the bed itself can be the focus instead of the frame.
4 Inch Low Metal Bed Frame - Full Size
The ruching adds so much texture and makes a simple neutral bed feel much more styled and expensive-looking.
Boho Ruched Duvet Cover Set Bed Set
Protecting a new mattress from spills and everyday messes for under $20 feels like a very easy yes.
Sleep by Wayfair™ Waterproof Fitted Mattress Protector
An affordable way to add extra cushioning and make my new bed setup feel more comfortable.
Wayfair Orthopedic Gel Memory Foam Topper
It gives me a big visual impact without needing a full gallery wall, and I love how the pink adds color while the bamboo keeps it feeling warm and textured.
Handmade Large Wall Folding Fan Headboard
Decor
It’s an inexpensive way to add personality, texture, and a calm little moment to a shelf or tabletop.
Zen Monk Sculpture, Jizo Monk
It gives me the soft ambient lighting I want while also being one of those small details that make the apartment feel more fun and personal.
Pink Rechargeable Mushroom Table Lamp
I want the decor in my new apartment to feel a little playful and unexpected instead of overly serious, and this black cat martini print immediately made me smile.
Black Cat Martini Canvas Art Prints,8x10in
I love the moodier look of this one. The black swan, muted background, and vintage-style gold frame make it feel a little dramatic and old-world in the best way. I think this would be such a good contrast against the softer pinks and warmer tones I’m...
Vintage Gold Framed Black Swan Wall Art, 8x10Inch
Household Essentials
Definitely not the cutest thing on my apartment shopping list, but probably one of the things I’ll use the most 😂 I like keeping disinfecting wipes around for quick cleanups in the kitchen, bathroom, and all the random high-touch surfaces that someh...
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Lemon Mango Linen 80ct 4pk
Another very practical one, but this is the kind of household product I know I’ll want on hand from day one.
Lysol Disinfectant Spray, Sanitizer, 3 Pack
I already know I like them, I use them all the time, and the smaller tear-off sections make them feel less wasteful for everyday messes.
Sparkle Tear-A-Square Paper Towels, 12 Rolls
I already know it works for my routine, it’s affordable, and the two-pack makes it easy to keep a backup on hand.
Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner Bleach Gel, 2 Pack
This is another household basic I already use and plan to keep buying for the new apartment. I like the upside-down EZ-Squeeze bottle because it’s genuinely convenient when I’m washing dishes and means I’m not constantly flipping the bottle over or d...
Dawn Platinum EZ-Squeeze Dish Soap, Fresh Rain, 2x18oz
Kitchen
It gives me most of the everyday kitchen tools I’ll need in one set, keeps everything coordinated, and saves me from buying each utensil separately.
Astercook Silicone Cooking Utensils Set, 38 PCS
It’s practical, gives me a full everyday set for four, and the gold finish makes something as simple as silverware feel way more intentional.
Better Homes & Gardens 20-Piece Gold Stainless Steel Flatware Set
It’s practical, reusable, works for different types of cleaning, and the pink version fits the apartment aesthetic way better than a basic sponge.
Scrub Mommy Dual-Sided Scrubber + Sponge
I want a set of simple everyday glasses that still feel a little nicer than basic drinkware, and these are exactly that. I love the clean shape and slightly thicker base because they feel modern without being too trendy. They come in a set of four, t...
Threshold 10 oz Telford Glass Tumblers, 4-Pack
I want the appliances in my new kitchen to be practical but still cute enough that I don’t mind leaving them on the counter, and this Thyme Green rice cooker is exactly that. The deep green with the little gold details feels way more intentional than...
Beautiful 14-Cup Cooked, 6-Cups Uncooked Electric Rice and Grain Cooker, EverGood Ceramic Nonstick Coating, Thyme Green by Drew Barrymore
