Biggest Renovating Mistakes #2



Using the Wrong Paint Type

People often make the mistake of picking the wrong paint for whatever particular project they may be working on. Actually, there is paint for just about every surface. Flat is for your ceilings and sometimes for your walls, whereas your semigloss would be for trim in a bathroom or in a dining room. The glossy will give it a more upscale look.


Building a Small Bathroom

If you need a small bathroom, pick the right fixtures. You can buy low-profile toilets and narrower sinks. Don't try to put full-size fixtures in a tiny, tiny bathroom. It's just going to be crowded. If your bathroom just small, use bold colors and bold prints, because boldness in small spaces actually makes it feel better,


Ignoring Lighting

Another mistake that homeowners will often make is not taking into consideration the lighting in their home. The lighting in your home can completely change the colors, the feeling, the ambiance. There are really three main types of lighting: general lighting, task lighting and drama or accent lighting. You need a combination to have a really good end design.


Going Too Trendy

People often make the mistake of wanting to be too hip and trendy in their new home by picking the latest, hottest, coolest things. However, what they don't take into consideration is that "trendy" means that it's "short term". You want something that's going to stand the test of time, and you want something that's going to last for years and years.


Forgetting About Safety

The most important things you can have on a job site for your own personal safety are goggles to protect your eyes, ear protection to protect your hearing and gloves to protect your hands from splinters, nails and such,


A good set of boots is also important because there are nails and sharp objects everywhere. The last thing is, you must have a first-aid kit.
