Storage decides everything
Before buying, picture exactly where the mat and weights go when the workout is over. If storage is annoying, the gear will not get used.

A comfortable mat plus one or two dumbbell pairs can handle mobility, core, arms, shoulders, and beginner strength without taking over the room.
