One of my students wrote (the topic was "Gadgets in my Dream Home").
I would like my home to be cozy in the first place, so I would not add too many gadgets into it.
When I was marking his work, I felt like he shouldn't have used "in the first place" in the given context. I think it's better to put it this way:
I would like my home to be first and foremost cozy, so I would not add too many gadgets into it.
What do you think?
