IKEA
Before my wife and I bought our first house together last year, I had spent my entire life living in apartments. I’ve experienced every setup, from my parents’ dignified decor to my “bachelor box” of a one-bedroom apartment, where I had nothing on the walls and bare-minimum furniture. It was a simple way of living, but I also see the need/desire to do a little more, which is why I’ve compiled a list of easy, must-have upgrades from IKEA that will help you live like a real grown-up in your apartment.

5. A desk chair that’s better than any that you’ve had at work (CENTERHALV Office chair)
Because you might not want to stand at your standing desk all day, you’re going to need a good chair. Not the ones your old employer gave you that creaked and squeaked and hurt your back. No, I’m talking about a comfortable, supportive chair that validates your decision to leave your office job for remote work in the first place.
