19 Jul 2026

A recommended common sense that can be applied throughout all levels of budget is to prioritize your building funding on the master bedroom and kitchen area. Spiritually, these are two polars of the area that will be spent with the most and least consciousness. Extra focus is needed when cooking for yourself or family in the kitchen, and a deep rest in your bedroom.

In a more general sense, Kitchen is the source of your livelihood. Your family’s base of nutrition is generated in your kitchen. Economic-wise, when you have a habit of cooking, your life’s cost structure will decrease compared to ordering take outs or eating out. To what degree you should build your kitchen is a reflection of your cooking habit. When processing a lot of raw materials, build a duo of dirty-clean kitchen separation. A more casual cooking habit will only require a clean kitchen. From then on, the additional tools such as oven/microwave, refrigerator sizing, etc is based on further preference.

Master bedroom, on the other hand, will accommodate and determine the quality of your rest. It is well known that better rest means better productivity; that is the base of your quality of life. Aligning your choice to the budget ceiling of bedding choice is recommended, as a better bed can give better sleep despite lacking it. Additionally a bathroom should be installed inside your master bedroom to provide privacy and ease. A master bedroom may take around half of the floor area. Aside from these priorities, the rest are preferred entertainment purposes such as television, vanity areas, etc.

These two areas are important since they are highly personal and intimate. Living room is designed to be a shared activity space, as well as a parlor for guests or shared bathrooms. However, the kitchen is very personal, how it is arranged is highly related to one’s cooking behavior and it differs from one person to another. Master bedroom on the other hand should be the most private area of a person’s house. Therefore it is recommended to direct the majority of your budget to The master bedroom and kitchen.
