In the process of renovating a new home, there are four common pitfalls that owners often encounter, especially the last point, more than 90% of owners will be deceived!

First of all, any decoration that is not based on practicality is superfluous. Have you ever wondered why some décor styles quickly become obsolete? The reason for this is that decorative elements that have no practical purpose and lack cultural connotation, which are often outdated after just two years.

Second, you can't evaluate a designer's ability based on renderings alone. Renderings can be very appealing if you're willing to put in the work, but it's all about the product, brand, price, and specifications in those designs. If the designer is vague about these details, or plans to take you to the materials after the project has begun, such a design is likely to be difficult to achieve.

In addition, all the services that are provided for free upfront will end up costing you more. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. In the decoration design industry, the best quality service should be good design, fine construction, high-quality products and thoughtful after-sales. However, most companies do the opposite, offering various free services such as free measurement, design, etc., before signing up to attract customers.

Once a contract is signed, the quality of service may be greatly compromised. If you find that the post-visa service is still at a high level, you are in luck. Often, after signing, you will find that the designer and the project manager are passing the buck to each other, and in the end, the owner will have to bear the additional costs.

Finally, it's important to plan your renovation budget wisely. In order to ensure both effect and quality, the following budget ratios can be considered: 70% to 0% for foundation construction, 0% to 0% for equipment, 0% to 0% for main materials, and 0% to 0% for soft decoration. If you rely entirely on a renovation company to allocate your budget, then your main material costs are likely to be over-inflated to more than 0% of your total budget.
