The most expensive design mistakes

HomeInterior Design TrendsThe most expensive design mistakes

FURNITURES

Buying furniture before you have a plan. You fall in love with a piece, bring it home, and only then realise it doesn't sit right with anything else in the room. Now you're either stuck with it or buying twice.

FINISHES

Choosing finishes you can’t live with. A bold tile, a dramatic colour, beautiful in a showroom, exhausting after the third month. The most expensive mistakes are rarely the cheap ones. They’re the ones you have to undo.

DECISIONS

  • Skipping the boring decisions. Storage, lighting, where the cables go. Nobody gets excited about these in the planning stage, and then everybody feels it every single day once the home is lived in.

DESIGN

Designing for guests instead of for yourself. A home staged for the people who visit twice a year, at the expense of the people who live in it the other three hundred and sixty-three days.

EXTERIOR

Treating the outside as an afterthought. Money goes into the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and the entrance; the gate, the walkway get whatever's left. But that's the first thing anyone sees, and usually the last thing anyone budgets for.
