What they wish they had known

Setting up a house takes time. Starting with bare bones is a daunting thought, but when your space is your own, the trade off is worth it. Hang in there, use cheap alternatives to make your house your own (Sunday bazar and fairy lights are your best friend. RIP Gul Plaza, every new homes go-to). Most importantly, enjoy yourself and your partner, life will only get busier and fuller from here InshAllah, but the first apartment and the process of creating a life together will one day be a cherished memory. Good luck!
