There are cushions on your sofa​, on your bed, basically if there's a surface we've put cushions on it, because being comfy sat down is what life is all about now.

7) Towels

Gone are the days of using your beach towel for everything, these days you have separate towels for your hands, face, body and hair. You'll probably find you fold them up carefully too now, rather than just leaving them in a pile!

You have different glasses for different drinks. Beer, wine, a cocktail and for when it gets really crazy on a night in...a shot glass.

11) Toolbox

You own a toolbox, because you're an adult now and you're the boss at fixing things. Now where is that screwdriver?

12) Lawnmower

With being an adult comes the responsibility of looking after a garden if you have one. And you will own a lawnmower and make cutting the grass look cool.

13) IKEA

You own at least one piece of furniture from Ikea and often spend the day there (mainly because you can't find your way out).

14) Wall Art

You have a piece of art on your wall, you have no idea who the artist is, but just owning it proves you're cultured right?

15) Wine

There is always wine, either in a rack, the fridge or even better your glass! But remember, always drink responsibly!
