I furnished a list of items to a newly wed couple (South Indian) who are setting up their home in B'lore. This list is indicative & should serve as a ready reckoner just so that they wont have to scratch their head thinking what is needed. Additions/deletions will be there 1/n

Sofa Set - 2+1+1 - Go for Wooden one with Cushion. They last longer and the cushion can be changed later. The rexine stuffed sofas look great but dont last more than 3 years. Most of the time they use very cheap wood inside, as they are covered. 2/n

A glass topped wooden teapoy that matches with the sofa set.

Cot - Instead of a Double Cot, suggest go for 2 Single Cots and join them together. This way one gets more space, and it is easy to clean under the Cots. 3/n

Go for matching orthopaedic mattresses. They support the back. Go for slightly harder ones

4 Pillows

At this stage guest cot is not required

2 Seater Dining Table with 2 Chairs should suffice and saves space

4 Plastic/ Deck Chairs that can be stacked 4/n

Refrigerator - Invest in at least a 270 litre - 300 litre as Fridge lasts long. Go for 2 door but ensure to buy one that has a smaller freezer. Frost Free with a higher Star Rating - 5 or above. Look for 7 years warranty for compressor. Buy a good brand 5/n

Mixie with Chutney jar and juice jar - Preethi Eco Chef is the best

Wet Grinder Table Top - 1.5 litres

An Electrical Orange Squeezer is a small but good investment

Microwave oven 20 Litres - Good for reheating

Gas Stove - 3 Burner. Dont buy cooking range. It is a waste 6/n

Vaccum Cleaner 1600 Watts

Pressure Cooker 5 litres - Though everyone likes Prestige, I am a great Hawkins fan, as it is considered to be more safe

Coconut scrapper/Carrot shredder
Tea Stainer

Coffee Filter or Percolator 7/n

Washing Machine - Take Top Loading, Fully Automatic - 6-7 kg. Bosch used to have a superb front loading one. If you can get it, take it

Aqua Guard Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier (this is essential) 8/n

AC/ Fan as the case may be. AC depending on Room - 1 ton required for a 100 Sq ft room is the thumb rule. Most rooms are 1500 Sq ft. So 1.5 Ton is ideal

Buy a noiseless ceiling fan. You can think of one Table or Pedestial Fan too

Water Heater - 20 Ltrs - good brand 9/n

Dont waste money on floor carpets. They are a source of infection

Go for Steel Wardrobes. Godrej will be very expensive. Try local makes. Ask for the gauge thickness. Take 24/22. 24 for doors and 22 for shelf. 6 Ft wardrobe x 2 nos is enough for now. 10/n

A big covered netted bucket to put soiled clothes
one big bucket to store water and 2 x 20 litre buckets

2 Tables and Office Chairs for official work especially as you might be on WFH

Wifi Router 11/n

Use LED Bulbs. They save on electricity bills

Door Mats/ Bathroom Mats

Bedsheets/Pillow Covers/ Towels

Hot Cases/Microwave oven specific utensils/ Kitchen Utensils/ Cup etc 12/n

The above is only indicative. Thought I shall share here in case it is of use to someone n/n

PS: Pointed out by the Couple and another follower something I missed

A 40 inch TV
Receiver

My thanks to them
