Student Apartment Furniture Guide

Moving into your first apartment in college is an incredibly exciting experience. There’s something almost surreal about sitting in your new place for the first time and realizing that you finally have a place of your own. Even if you are sharing it with a roommate. But furnishing your apartment for the first time can be surprisingly expensive, especially if you don’t know where to shop for the best furniture deals in Albany! Fortunately, at Huck Finn Homes, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for cost. You will find exactly what you’re looking for to make your first apartment your own without breaking the bank. Now the question is, what do you need for your new apartment?

Depending on the layout of your apartment, you may need or not need certain items. But the beauty of Huck Finns is that there are different styles, sizes, and set ups of all your furniture needs so you’ll find what fits. Let’s go through some of the basic needs you may have for your new apartment.

Student Apartment Bedroom Furniture:

Sometimes you need to be a bit creative with your bedroom in your first apartment. Maybe you’re living with roommates and the majority of your time will be spent in your room studying. Maybe you have a studio apartment, and your bedroom is also your living room and dining room. Whatever the situation, making sure you have a comfortable and proper sized bed is important. With bed options like wood, metal, loft and platform beds, at Huck Finn Home’s there is always a bed that is just right! Thinking of something different? There is so much more in the store!

Storage is going to be the key in your new apartment! Maybe you got lucky and have a huge closet with lots of space for all of your clothes, but if you don’t, no need to stress! We have dressers in all shapes and sizes, storage boxes that fit neatly in any space, and some strategic wall mounts to add your personal touch to your bedroom.

Student Apartment Living Room Furniture:

If you have a studio apartment or if space is tight, finding furniture that can do double duty is key. Think of convertible furniture like the sleeper sofa; that converts to an extra bed when friends or family comes to visit. Sleeper sofas come in various size options ranging from twin to queen. Also think of storage ottomans that you can use to store things like extra blankets when not in use but also act as a coffee table or extra seating when you have company.

If you are looking for more traditional furniture, Huck Finn Home is a great store to find many comfy and affordable furniture options for your living room. We have a large selection of sectionals and sofas to lounge on, recliners to stretch out and watch a movie, maybe a futon for an extra bed option. As a student living in your first apartment, it’s important that you find great affordable furniture that makes it feel like home.

Student Apartment Home Office Furniture:

As a student, space is often limited, and you do not have an extra room for a separate home office to complete your schoolwork. It is important though that you have a space dedicated to do just that. At Huck Finn Home, we can help you find affordable furniture and accessories to help separate your working space from your living space. Our huge selection of rugs can help define your workspace as well as trendy and sturdy desks, office chairs and accessories. While you’re here, make sure to check out our bookshelves for additional storage. While not all apartments have a whole other room that can be used as a work area, having a designated spot to get work done can be really helpful!

Student Apartment Kitchen/Dining Room:

No matter how big or small your apartment is, it’s nice to have a spot to sit and eat or play a board game with some friends. You can even use some strategically decorated storage cubes as additional counter space if you want to have a little additional floor space. We have tables of all styles and sizes to fit your student apartment needs. It might also be a good idea to have some bookcases, shelves, or even portable cabinets for your kitchen area for additional food storage. At Huck Finn Home, we can help you find all your furniture for your kitchen and dining room at affordable prices.
