When you’re dreaming of ways to really level up your space, you often ask questions with an obvious answer: Do I need a wine fridge? Shouldn’t my shower have half a dozen sprayers? That answer of course is usually, for logistical reasons, no. But it’s also sometimes worth considering a compromise. Maybe sticking with your dorm room French press is fine, but you really need that pot filler. Or you’re content to wash your old dishes in a new sink worth writing home about. Here are some splurges that don’t necessarily make sense, but maybe sometimes they do.

Day to Evening

Today’s kitchens are more than a place to make meals. They’re where we start our mornings and where we can return throughout the day for tiny top-ups of the stuff that makes us feel good. Need a cold glass of ice water while working from home or a sneaky late-night snack? A well-stocked kitchen prioritizes pleasure while putting the fun in function.

Who needs cabinet space when you can set aside a shelf or two for an appliance garage—a handy home base for your little luxuries, whatever they may be. Maybe you need an industrial-grade blender or a stand mixer fit for a commercial kitchen. Or maybe you really want pebble ice and espresso every morning—but are you willing to move water lines to accommodate your desires?
