11 things any functioning adult has in their home by Shana Lebowitz on Jan 11, 2018, 2:18 PM Advertisement
 You know when you walk into someone's home and it just feels like ... an adult lives here? That's the way you should feel when you walk into your home. It doesn't happen by magic, though. You've got to furnish your space with all the essentials — for cooking, for safety, for everyday storage. We checked out two Reddit threads on the topic, as well as some other resources, and put together a list of items every adult home must have. The list is by no means exhaustive, but it's a good launching point. Read on to see what you're missing.

As Business Insider reported, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain says no one needs a knife set — you just need one good chef's knife. "Like a pro, you should use the tip for the small stuff, and the area nearer the heel for the larger," Bourdain writes in his 2000 memoir, "Kitchen Confidential." Bourdain admits you may also find it useful to own a flexible boning knife for fish and meat, a paring knife for vegetables, and a serrated knife for just about anything.
Basic tool set  Don't call your extra-handy friend when something breaks in your house — be that extra-handy friend. Hatecopsandcats tells you exactly what you'll need: "Hammer, screwdriver, tape measure, utility knife, adjustable wrench, WD40, duct tape." (A commenter adds that you'll need a drill.) If you're looking for recommendations, Insider Picks chose the Stanley 65-piece toolkit as the best overall tool kit, though it doesn't come with every single item mentioned above.
Flashlight  "You never know when the power will go out," writes squirrelpanic. Plus, the Red Cross recommends that every household has a flashlight in case of emergency.
