Four years ago my fiancé and I bought our first home together at the ripe old age of 25. A 3 bed semi-detached house with a lounge and open plan kitchen…our dream space! Neither of us had owned a home before or even rented beforehand. We were coming straight from our childhood bedrooms which meant that between us we had 0 furniture to our name. No sofa, no mattress, not even any plates and bowls. We were starting completely from scratch and needed to furnish the whole house from nothing.
