What are the household items you can't live without?​

Hey members!

It's been a minute since we had a good catch-up, hasn't it? So, here's a quick life update: my partner and I will be moving into our new apartment very soon. We spent the day at IKEA, lost in a sea of options for furniture, decor, and household needs. We’re particularly finding it hard to find that perfect balance between stylish and functional.

So, I'm turning to you, fellow forum members, for advice. What are your must-have household items that make your space feel like home? Maybe those that you can't live without? Help us turn this new apartment into a haven of comfort, function, and of course, a touch of personal flair!

I agree, recliner chairs are a must!

My hot water dispenser (Healthy Choice) it heats just the water one uses, at the time of use, saving on water heating costs. I sleep in the family recliner!

Apart from my bed, comfy chair, tv etc I use my air fryer every day. Mood lighting and air con are a must as well

My massage chair is one of the best investments I made, I spend a bit of time spent in it each night helps relieve the sciatic nerve pain

Hi number one as getting older l truly would invest in an electric chair; they make standing up from sitting watching T.V so much easier, as they can help to stand one up, if a person has strength problems or arthritis issues, they will never hesitate to spend time watching a movie or just relaxing in a comfortable chair a gain, The chair can recline so you can catch a that nanny nap. I have one it was and still is one of my best investments l have ever made. Next be an electric bed base that will elevate the mattress to help one sit up while in bed reading, one of the greatest pluses is that if you need to stay in bed one can bed elevated so there lungs can drain & less chance of developing problems with there breathing helps keep there airways clear & lungs drained.
I hope you find my suggestion of some help.
Happy days for every body all years round.
I would not be with out mine.

Toilet paper! (I remember using newspaper squares when I visited Grandma)

Not long after I was married, my wise and wonderful Mum gave me a kitchen gadget which she had used for many years. “You will find this invaluable,” she told me. And she was right. My ‘Skyline Miracle Screw Cap Opener’ still works and still causes me to thank Mum every time I get a new jar of jam or pickled onions or honey with a stiff screw cap.
