The tenor of the article is, that young couples should limit themselves with furniture purchases. Nicolaï-Chaillet contrasts this with "in the old days," when from the beginning in a large house the entire interior and household furniture were fixed. She probably makes this comparison because, a little later in the article, the issue of young families living in such properties comes up, with Nicolaï-Chaillet speaking in favor of subdividing floors with their own amenities. To limit herself in the purchase of furniture, she puts forward several arguments. As practical arguments, she argues that especially in the first years, people often move house, have children, which brings additional costs. A more ideological line of argument is that only after a few years of living in a house do people know how to use it. Then so-called "nice furniture" can get in the way quite a bit. The article is full of practical advice: buy above all solid stuff; always buy long curtains so that they are easier to change later in another home; buy carpeting that is easy to clean, preferably linoleum; buy cabinet elements that can be combined with each other and, above all, give color to large areas such as walls, floors and ceilings.
