A living area may consist of a seating area, a dining area, and be a relaxing place for your tenants therefore you may need to incorporate furniture to suit all their needs in this one space:
- Seating (sofa, chairs)
- Dining table and chairs
- Side table/coffee table
- TV unit
- Shelving unit
Kitchen
The kitchen will need to provide everything your tenants will need to cook food, warm up food, make a hot drink and wash everything up:
Electrical Items
- Kettle
- Toaster
- Microwave
- Airfryer?
Crockery/cooking utensils
Cleaning & Laundry Items
You may be providing a cleaner for the communal areas of your HMO however you still want your tenants to have access to the tools to be able to keep their own spaces clean too.
Bedrooms
Every bedroom space will vary on what you have in it depending on space. Some rooms may be large enough to include a seating area or a desk and chair for example.
If you go into every project with this in your mind you will furnish it in a way that your tenants are happy J
