When renovating an apartment yourself, it is worth considering many important nuances.
Otherwise, some errors may lead to a completely different result than you expected.
Yulia Tychino, an expert on interior design and interior design, spoke about the mistakes that should be avoided in such cases.
Choosing paint without testing
Before purchasing paint, it is worth making appropriate tests on a sheet of paper or on the wall.
Otherwise, if you choose only by palette, you may be very disappointed.
It is worth remembering that color perception can be influenced by various factors.
In particular, this concerns light, adjacent colors and other nuances.
Therefore, the final color may differ from the shade on the palette.
So before painting, you need to “test” it on a small area of the wall and evaluate whether it really suits you.
Incorrect placement of sockets
This error is one of the most common.
If you don’t think about the presence of sockets and switches during the renovation process, this can create additional problems later.
So it is worth considering in advance where exactly they should be located.
The same applies to light sources. It is important to think through different lighting scenarios.
Unreasonable savings
Of course, you want the renovation not to hit your pocket too hard.
But there are things that you absolutely cannot skimp on.
In particular, this concerns various rough materials, plumbing, including its hidden parts, kitchen facades and other elements.
