When starting the first home, it's a good idea to invest in a few key furniture pieces only. Focus on quality furniture which will last and build slowly, adding more pieces through time. Buying fewer pieces leaves room for better quality choices and one allows to better know what one really would like to own, making fewer 'mistakes', instead, every piece is thought through and loved, creating an environment that allows to grow organically through the years. And ultimately we need much less than we think we do. Let quality be king.
