I generally agree with this. My wife and I recently (last year) decided to move to the UK from the US. We had a $10k Stickley sofa, a $7k custom-ordered rug, a lovely leather recliner the previous owners of the house left for us (they were going full van-life), Steelcase office chairs, etc. We're now renting in London, and our furniture is almost exclusively Ikea, plus one mid-range sofa from John Lewis (£2000 or so). We view our furniture as mostly transient. All our expensive furniture is in storage in the US now, and will only come back out when we move home into a house we own and plan to stay in again.
