Here’s the hard truth: Most homeowners underestimate the importance of proper planning.
The biggest mistake we see? Jumping straight into renovation without a clear plan or budget.
Here’s the #1 Mistake Homeowners Make:
What happens when you skip planning:
You will encounter endless delays and skyrocketing costs because you make changes along the way and when designers need to make multiple adjustments to the design and timeline, the consequences is unpredictable.
Without going through proper discussion with your spouse or understanding your own lifestyle, you will get spaces that don’t fit your lifestyle because interior designers do not know you and if you don’t say, they will never know.
Eventually you will fee stress, frustration, and regret. Sadly, you don’t do renovation so often like you buy a product, so a regretful experience will have to stay with you for the next 5-10 years.
At Aart Boxx Interior, we always tell our clients: Planning isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of a successful renovation.
So before you pick paint colors or furniture, ask yourself “Have I set a realistic budget?” “Do I have a clear vision for each space?” “Have I consulted professionals who can guide me?”
Of course our interior designers at Aart Boxx Interior are trained to prompt you with questions to understand your lifestyle better, so you have to be open to share every single bit of your life, even if is the most intimate one but necessary to be incorporated.
