2. Sofa
There’s a well-known piece of advice that we should spend on what we touch the most in the house – so besides the bed, this is likely to be the sofa.
A comfortable sofa can really make your living room a comfortable and welcoming space for you to Netflix and chill all weekend.
That doesn’t mean you need to necessarily splurge on a designer sofa….
But definitely invest in a quality piece.
Do make sure to test out the sofa’s back height + seat depth!
Especially if you are on the petite or extra lanky side, not all sofas will be made to suit you.
If you have young kids and/or pets, the material of the sofa is important as well.
These days, sofa materials come in a wide variety of innovative fabrics and leathers – that are both stain proof and scratch proof!
3. Kitchen Organization
Especially if you cook, kitchen organization is something worth splurging on.
Especially as houses are getting smaller and smaller, having to contend with a small kitchen is a problem most young couples have to face.
If you’re undergoing home renovation, the kitchen is one of the places you’ll probably spend a lot of time discussing with the ID & contractor.
Maximizing storage and having a designated space for all your appliances will help you keep a neat and organized kitchen.
4. Standing Desk
As work from home becomes increasingly common, an adjustable standing desk has become a must-have item!
From TakeaSeat, EverDesk to OmniDesk, the list of options are increasingly expanding.
Standing desk come in all sorts of materials, with all sorts of add-ons, including drawers!

So true!
Regarding mattresses, you’ve made a great case for choosing quality, but I’d like to emphasize the importance of doing one’s research before making a purchase. We all have unique sleeping patterns and body types, and thus what’s comfortable for one might not work for another. There are various types of mattresses available on the market, like memory foam, latex, innerspring, and hybrid, each with their unique benefits. Also, about the kitchen organization, I believe that investing in multi-functional kitchen appliances and tools can also be beneficial. These days, there are so many appliances available that can perform multiple tasks, from pressure cookers that can also be used as slow cookers and rice cookers, to blenders that can also act as food processors. They not only save space but can also be more economical in the long run.
