There's nothing more exciting or gratifying than signing the lease on your own apartment, and having basically a blank canvas to create your own comfy space. At first, it's common to feel overwhelmed with unpacking and arranging all the furniture to your liking, but before you start, take a few selfies in your new space. Show off your digs by posting to the ‘Gram with captions for first apartment pics.

You're moving into your own place. It’s an exciting time, so be as loud and proud as you want to be with your very own dedicated Insta post. Get creative with it.

Whatever you decide to post, you will need some new home captions to go along with your photos. Since you’re having to worry about packing, unpacking, and finding things lost in boxes, don’t worry about coming up with your own home captions. Instead, just use any of those 40 new home Instagram captions that are a perfect pair for any snap you want to share.
