When you move into your apartments near Florida State University, comfort may be at the top of your list for what you expect in your new home.

Since this is the room you will most likely spend the most of your waking hours in, it is very helpful to feel comfortable and relaxed while utilizing it. Besides the television, the other piece of furniture that is the ultimate focal point is your couch. While a couch is the most popular seating furniture, you also have other options when it comes to furnishing your living room. Some apartments come with furniture included, so be sure to check with the leasing office to see which pieces will be included on move-in day! 

What type of couch is best for your FSU Apartment?

Most FSU apartments will most likely do well with your standard couch. You may think a couch is a couch, but there are many different options that you have to choose from. If you have a larger living space with three or more roommates, maybe a big sectional sofa will work nicely. You can gravitate towards a sofa and a loveseat, which may be a bit easier to decorate around than a huge sectional sofa. Maybe you want two sofas, two loveseats…you get the picture! The combinations are endless. When it comes to this tried and true piece of furniture, many people opt to buy it new. If you have roommates and want to split the bill, that will save you money in the long run. However, you may have a custody battle on your hands if any of you decide to split and find your own place.

Fully Furnished Apartments near FSU

One good aspect about apartments near FSU is that many student-centric apartments come fully furnished. This means your furniture, including your living room furniture, is included in your monthly price of rent. You won't have to go through the hassle of shopping and purchasing large furniture if this is your first time out on your own. You won't even have to worry about the moving part! If your unit does not come furnished and you're on a budget however, you do have other options. Many people sell their practically new couches in online marketplaces. All you have to do is a simple search. If you're into going to yard sales or flea markets, you may be able to pick up a nice couch for a very small price too.

Maximizing Living Room Space in Your Student Apartment

If you're short on space in FSU apartments, you can try and go with another piece of sitting furniture besides a couch. Throw a couple of armchairs in your living room and you maximize your space and décor. While a chair may not be as comfortable as a couch, its functionality is definitely there. Deciding on the plushness, filling and overall style of your chair will determine your level of comfort. Chairs can be purchased much cheaper than an entire sofa. You can even learn how to make a chair yourself! Now that would be a great statement piece! The granddaddy of al chairs, however, is the recliner. While they serve as the ultimate in comfort, a brand new one can almost be as pricey as an entire couch. You can, of course, find less expensive used ones in the same variety of places as a good couch or chair.

Keep in mind when moving your new furniture into your new apartment, it may be difficult to get a large sectional or recliner up three flights of stairs with no elevator. If this is the case, you want to search for a more garden-style apartment that exists on the ground floor, or just hire movers!
