Spare furniture could be stockpiled in Solihull to give an extra helping hand to care leavers.
The council is looking at having a special store, where young people setting up on their own could pick out items.
Putting these fittings to one side would avoid the individuals having to eat into their leaving care grant to buy certain objects for their new home.
Councillors were told this week that the local authority was looking to work with Solihull Community Housing (SCH) to save "good-quality" items and offer the chance to choose suitable fixtures.
Anna Stephens, who is head of service for looked after children, fostering and adoption, said: "It would be really useful to them.
"But we have nowhere to store anything like that at the moment.
"So we're looking at working with Solihull housing to provide us with a storage facility, for us to be able to ... keep things that young people might need.
"Things like rugs, cushions, soft furnishings, those sort of things. Obviously electrical things you'd have to be quite careful, because they'd need to have to have the right checks."
She had mentioned the idea after being asked by Cllr Annette Mackenzie (Con, Shirley East) about the steps taken to support those young people who had previously been in care and were moving into their own home for the first time.
At a scrutiny board this week, councillors had also asked about work to recruit more foster carers - which has previously proven a struggle - and the careers advice available.
There was also some discussion about what would be done for those in care over the Christmas period.
Cllr Michael Gough, who chairs the children's services, education and skills scrutiny board, had said he would like to see the council look at the option of inviting young people to the Civic Suite for lunch.
"We have the facilities and I'm sure all of us in this room would probably give up one of our meals - so there's the funding.
"I do realise there are logistical concerns that need to be raised, but that's something we could discuss outside of this meeting."
Ms Stephens said it was also intended that an Advent calendar was given to each of the young people.
