Things to Buy for New Place

For those who have recently moved into a new house, you may be quite clueless of how to organise your things, and what to purchase. The least you want is to purchase a lot of stuff and pile them up around the house.

Here are some quick tips with a little help from Mr. DIY, Daiso and Ikea. Mr. DIY will be your most frequent place as they sell useful stuff with a reasonable price. I've been going to Mr. DIY more than Daiso since the price hike. 

First, you will need to make sure your plates and pots do not scratch your tiles or drawers. So, its best for you to install drawer mats in your kitchen cabinets.

You can also get some baskets from Mr. DIY to organise your things.

The towel bar from Mr. DIY is around RM25 only. I install one in my kitchen as well to hang my hand towel and table cloth.

In case if you don't have any cooking utensils at all, you can get these from Ikea (except the wooden rolling pin on the left is from Tesco) at a really reasonable price.

Wooden spoon @ RM5.90

3 piece kitchen utensil set @ RM4.90

Dish washing brush @ RM1.50

Pastry brush @ RM3.90

Can opener @ RM6.90

And these from Mr. DIY.

Dish drainer from Ikea@ RM24.90

Cutlery stand from Ikea @ RM7.90

Charcoal sheet from Daiso to keep your refrigerator fresh from any odor.

Waste bin from Ikea @ RM3.90 each. One for normal waste, another for recycle items.

Shampoo rack from Mr. DIY. But this is not as user-friendly as I thought. If your bottles are big then it should be fine. If not, the bottles will keep falling around, which is rather annoying.

Something for your wardrobe as well! Multi-use hanger from Ikea @ RM14.90

Okay, that's all for today. 

Happy shopping! :)
