Performing a renovation comes with a lot of responsibilities, as it’s a wide-scale activity. That’s why it’s not surprising that, despite all our attempts to take every small detail into account, we still end up missing some nuances and eventually end up with something we weren’t expecting. For example, we often opt for certain designer solutions because everyone else does it, and only later do we realize that we should’ve actually gone for more functional, practical alternatives.
When hearing the word “renovation” many of us get chills down our spines. Perhaps that’s the reason why many people prefer to use the services of professionals when starting another repair at home. Not only will these pros help to save time, but they’ll also save the good relationships we have with our relatives, as well as our nerve cells. At the same time, those who are used to doing everything themselves should know that there are some details that will let even a beginner designer understand that the renovation was done by an amateur.
Before we start a renovation, we can practically see our future home in our minds. Magazines show the design styles and salespeople in stores, ready to sell us anything we’d like. But very often, real life is more complicated and we later realize that some things are not as comfortable as they once seemed and we miss some very important details. My name is Yulia and a couple of things in my new apartment are really infuriating. This is not my first renovation so I thought that this time I had covered all my bases. But, unfortunately, there’s always something more that needs to be done.

Before starting a renovation, we tend to learn about various interior design schemes online. We all like perfect pics that show things like light walls, unusual design solutions, and brave modifications, but unfortunately, many of us forget that people actually live in these apartments and don’t just take photos of them.

Each of us tries to make our home not only cozy, but also comfortable. Currently, many commercials and sites on the internet, billboards, in movies, and on TV series supply us with numerous ideas on how to design our abode. Unfortunately, some modern ideas turn out to be useless from a practical point of view and you might feel regretful about the wasted time and money after having implemented them into your life.
When people are planning a renovation or just buying something nice for their place, they often look at beautiful pictures online and in magazines.
