Brand new house furniture

I think the most basic things that you need are a bed, something to sit on in the living room like a couch or recliner, a saucepan, a frying pan, a small bookshelf to put your things on, which you can buy at Walmart for $20, and some towels.

 

I would think toilet paper, a plunger, towel and soap are essential. Then I would make sure to have at least a folding chair with maybe a little table to put important papers. The kitchen is not necessary because of the option to eat out, but if one wanted to have something available then I would plug in a microwave if there was no stove. Or one could cook out on the grill if the weather was nice enough. Starting off in a home that is bare can be quit liberating as before long, a person realizes how little they actually need to function. This might prevent them from filling up the home with unessential's that they have to maintain.

 

That is a good and interesting question! I had some furniture when I moved in, but I had to have some essentials first and it's interesting to see what people consider "essential", isn't it?
Well for me it's essential to have a bed, refrigerator, oven and at least a chair or couch. If those are not in the house yet, obviously a sink, toilet and shower are essential, but those are not furniture! Those would be my absolute essentials. Everything else can be bought later.

 

Essential furniture I'd need when moving into a new house:

Some chairs - you can't stand or sit on the floor for long.
A table - for obvious reasons.

and a bed. I'd hate to sleep on the floor as though I was camping outside.

 

If I was on a serious budget essential furniture to me would be a bed, and in terms of electronics a refrigerator. Those two are the absolute basics, because I figure you could always use the bed for seating and instead of a stove buy a hot plate. If I was just getting the place together and not too worried about money the bare essentials would be a bed, couch and coffee table.
