Due to jobs and other stuff, people sometimes have to move to different cities and time zones. Most of such news comes with short notice; hence, you cannot get enough time to research and rent a place to live in the new city. As the town is brand new for you, it is overwhelming to arrange everything to live a peaceful life there. But before you get yourself anything, you need some furniture for your rented house’s most important room: the living room! We tried to create a checklist that includes the five essential pieces you need when you shift to a new house. 

• Furniture that works as storage: The living room needs furniture pieces here and there where you can sit, work, chill, relax, watch movies, or giggle with your besties. But going out and buying feeble furniture from stores is not an option when you are running low on budget. On the other hand, you can rent furniture pieces that work as storage. If you have kids at home, they like scattering toys here and there. But when you are expecting guests, you must find a clean room! With furniture pieces like sofas and stools with storage boxes, you can keep all unwanted stuff stacked in them. This will keep the room tidy. 
• Napping sofa: Having a guest room in a small one-bedroom apartment is tough. If your family or friends are coming, you cannot ask them to stay in the hotel! That will burn a hole in their pocket! You can anyways buy a sofa for your living room. Instead, you can rent a couch that can be turned into a bed when needed. You can convert your living room into a temporary guest room. Say you are sick and don’t want to share the room with your partner, or you need a nap between office hours; you can use this sofa for everything! 
• Work desk: With the work-from-home and school-from-home going everywhere, you need a separate space where you can sit and complete your official tasks or school projects peacefully. You cannot do all such things in your bedroom. So, having a separate work desk in the living room will significantly ease your job. This will help you keep all your official documents and stuff in one place, and you can grab anything when needed. 
• Shelves: You can rent wooden frames in your living room. The one-bedroom apartments come with a decent-sized living room. If you’re going to get a chair on rent, you can also ask for shelves. These storage shelves are pretty handy, and you can put a lot of stuff there. These shelves will help you keep the room clean. 
• Multipurpose stools: Stools that can be converted into side tables can be a good add-on! You can buy some stools that help people get something to sit on. When you do not have guests, you can use these stools as side tables and keep several things. 

Conclusion: The living room is the most essential in your apartment. You can convert it into a multipurpose room by adding a few fantastic furniture pieces. Be a little more creative and get an excellent living room.
