Buying furniture

By my calculations I should have started investing in good quality furniture at the age of 18, I did invest in furniture but not the kind that stays intact. Argos value (whhaaaatttt? my money went on drink and I wanted a white bedroom, shoot me) and right now I am interested in buying myself a new bed and and some living room items.
So when I move out I will be fully equipped with the essentials such as bed, sofa suite and bedroom furniture. Bedrooms and living rooms are the best rooms and most used in the house bar the kitchen.
Kitchen doesn't apply for everyone but it applies in my family just because we love our food.
I started thinking about all the kitchen things I would need to move out and feed myself in a full vibrant and clean kitchen space.
And I made a few lists for each room and prioritised them.

In the Kitchen:

You might be Gordon Ramsay or Nigela Lawson, or you burn water, before taking anything I say as a factual guideline you need to address the size and capacity of your kitchen and also your eating habits, (in the luxeries there is a blender noted, I class this as an essential because I like fresh juice and soup and I am competent as a cook to make things with it)  either which way you need to eat and eat well and this is my list of things needed:

Essentials	Mode of necessity	Why
Fridge and freezer	Storage	Where are going to store it?
Microwave and oven w/hobbs (if not built in)	Method	How are you gonna cook it?

In the Bedroom:

I’m a big believer in the only things that should be done in a bedroom are fornicate, sleep and get ready, other luxuries could be included such as sound systems for early morning get ready with the radio, a study section of the room like a desk, I don't like this idea but its all down to personal preference.
