You have been working hard, saved and budgeted to buy your first apartment this year to fit a lifestyle you dreamed of. But there are “Must Haves” your new apartment must have to give you a comfortable living. In this post I’m going to discuss with you the 7 essentials you should spend on to enhance your living lifestyle in Ghana.

1.Bedroom

Creating a comfortable sleeping environment is essential for your well-being. Choose a mattress that suits your comfort preferences and supports your body. A quality bed frame can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bedroom while providing stability for your mattress. Having multiple sets of bed sheets allows for easy rotation and maintenance. A duvet offers warmth and coziness during colder nights. In Ghana’s climate, a fan or air conditioning unit can help regulate temperature for a restful sleep. Additionally, pillows of varying firmness levels cater to individual preferences. Curtains not only provide privacy but also add a decorative touch to your room. A bedside lamp offers ambient lighting for reading or relaxing. Adequate storage solutions like a dresser or closet help keep your belongings organized.

2.Bathroom

Your bathroom serves as a sanctuary for personal care and relaxation. Soft, absorbent towels provide comfort and functionality after bathing. Stock up on essential toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and body wash for daily hygiene. Placing a bathmat outside the shower or bathtub helps prevent slips and keeps your feet dry. A trash can in the bathroom ensures proper waste disposal and maintains cleanliness. Essential cleaning tools like a plunger and toilet brush are necessary for resolving plumbing issues. Personalize your bathroom with accessories like a toothbrush holder, air fresheners, and extra towels for guests.

3.Living Room

The living room is a versatile space for relaxation and entertainment. A comfortable and stylish couch provides seating for guests and family members. A functional coffee table serves as a central gathering spot for drinks, snacks, and decor. An entertainment center houses your TV and media devices, creating a focal point for relaxation. Adequate lighting, such as floor lamps or table lamps, enhances the ambiance and functionality of the room. Additional furniture like side tables or accent chairs can offer extra seating and storage. Personal touches like artwork, plants, or decorative items add personality to your living space. If your living room also serves as a dining area, a dining set with a table and chairs creates a designated eating space.

4.Kitchen

The Kitchen is usually the most capital-intensive part of your apartment, especially if it isn’t already fitted with a full kitchenette so let’s get started. Assuming there’s a bunch of already built cabinets to keep your pots, pans, plates, cups/mugs, glasses, tupperware and utensils, we suggest you get your chopping boards and appliances such as the fridge (preferably one that doubles with a freezer to save some cost), You’re going to need a working stove, a lighter for the stove and some gas to whip something light from time to time. Once you’re set on that, you’ll need to get groceries and spices (but that’s per your desire as and when) and some kitchen paper towels and napkins to clean up and insulate when cooking. You should rope in a dishwashing kit with a sponge, soap and wipe for your dishes and as usual, if you’ve got extra cash to throw around, invest in a microwave, a toaster if you’re a toast kinda gal or guy, water filter, mitts and apron and anything else that brings out the true Wolfgang Puck from within when you stand behind that counter and hold that knife.

5.Swimming Pool

When it comes to apartment living in Ghana, a swimming pool is undoubtedly a must-have amenity. With its tropical climate and warm weather year-round, having access to a swimming pool provides residents with a refreshing oasis right at their doorstep.

A swimming pool offers numerous benefits for both relaxation and recreation. It serves as a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing residents to unwind and rejuvenate after a long day.

Do you know swimming is good for health? Right! A swimming pool promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, encouraging residents to engage in regular exercise and water-based activities. Whether it’s swimming laps for fitness or simply lounging by the poolside with family and friends, the presence of a swimming pool adds immense value to the apartment complex.

In addition to its recreational and health benefits, a swimming pool enhances the overall appeal and desirability of an apartment complex in Ghana thereby add value to your apartment’s market value. It serves as a symbol of luxury and prestige, attracting discerning tenants who seek a high-quality living experience.

6.Cleaning Supplies

Regular cleaning is crucial for a healthy and organized living environment. Essential cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, brooms, dustpans, and mops help you maintain cleanliness throughout your apartment. Sponges, scrubbers, and cleaning agents are essential for tackling tough stains and grime. Dusting tools like microfiber cloths and glass cleaners keep surfaces clear of dust and dirt. Mops and buckets are necessary for thorough floor cleaning. Protective gear such as gloves shields your hands from harsh detergents and chemicals. A toolkit with basic repair tools allows you to handle minor maintenance tasks efficiently, saving you time and money on professional repairs.

7.Solar Power

In the dynamic landscape of apartment living in Ghana, integrating solar power is increasingly becoming a must-have feature. With abundant sunlight throughout the year, harnessing solar energy not only offers environmental benefits but also provides practical solutions to address energy challenges in the region.

Ghana, like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, faces issues with unreliable electricity supply as it is locally called Dumsor, and high utility costs. By incorporating solar power systems into apartment complexes, you can enjoy a more sustainable and cost-effective energy solution.

One of the primary advantages of solar power in Ghanaian apartments is its ability to provide a reliable source of electricity. With solar panels installed on rooftops or in common areas, apartments can generate their own electricity, reducing dependence on the national grid and ensuring uninterrupted power supply for residents. Please not that developers don’t install solar, residents install it at their own cost, but at La Margo Villas, all units comes solar installed.
