"You can post-rationalize anything."
While you can pre-apply reasons for a bunch of stuff in your apartment there is a certain utility in leaving a lot undefined until you need it. Those stray books, they're whatever you happened to have needed your character to read last night to enhance the story currently happening. The chess pieces, gift from an old friend or something found.
I've got a mix of things with pre-applied logic behind them and things I've got no idea on until they'll be referenced in Erah'sae's apartment. There's a map table with chess pieces and a stuffed chocobo on it that represents routes for his courier gig. There's a carpenter's workbench because he is an IC carpenter.
The books next to his bed? The fact that his bed is twin adder standard issue? No idea, if/when they become relevant I'll come up with something. There are vague ideas but I haven't needed to define them yet.
This really works for RP because the minutiae of our real houses change with a good bit of frequency, most houses / apartments are fairly static once you find a certain aestetic you like.
