Renovation mistakes.

  1. forgetting to get permits and strata approval if required

  2. going overboard on luxury items

  3. to make it get too specific to your taste

  4. sacrificing practical for aesthetics vessel sinks water goes everywhere but into sink

  5. spending too much - over budget - resale

  6. not going to residential developers display suites for ideas - instead looking at mag.

  7. not enough planning especially when it comes to lighting and ceiling lights  

  8. strive for perfection - constr. craft not a science

  9. not finishing the renovation

  10. biggest mistake is not hiring a professional designer right from the start people - think can save money
