10 The Most Common Mistakes in the Repair Process

10 The Most Common Mistakes in the Repair Process

It is a fact that repairing the house process is the best test for your nerves. In order to avoid any troubles during the repair, it is worth exploring the most popular mistakes that people have ever encountered.

1. Laminate or parquet board in the kitchen

Yes, laminate flooring and parquet are very stylish and original. However, do not forget that in the kitchen there is always a risk of leaks, which can lead to damage and premature overuse of such floor coverings.

2. Savings money on the design and functionality of finished plumbing solutions

Plumbing is not installed for a day or even for one year, so you will have to “admire” its poor visual characteristics. You should keep your inner aesthete while thinking of the plumbing solutions – it is better to overpay a little for style and beauty.

3. Floor level sockets

Who said this is a great solution? Possibly, it is unusual, but certainly not convenient and practical.

4. The lack of a socket in the bathroom

Saving on installing an additional socket is a solution no-one will benefit from. Bathroom socket will definitely be useful for hair dryers, shavers, manicure accessories and other beauty gadgets.

5. “Old wiring will last a long time”

No, it won’t. Perhaps the most rash decision is to leave untouched the old and poor-quality wiring. In order to avoid short circuits and other “charms” it is better to completely replace it.

6. Lack of hoods

An extractor hood is something you cannot live without. Moreover, it should be not only in the kitchen, but, if possible, in the bathroom as well.

7. Putting flammable materials near burning surfaces.

Safety is the most essential matter, so it is best to avoid such combinations. Even if the probability of fire is minimal, it is better to be safe and prevent it in a timely manner.

8. “No underfloor heating!”

For some reason, underfloor heating has not yet gained its popularity. However, they should not be ignored, especially if the room is poorly heated or there are small children in the house.

9. Lack of a storage room

If you can make at least a very small one, you will definitely benefit from it. You will also say thank you for this decision when you’ll have to hide suitcases, ironing board and kids bicycles.

10. “We can do everything without a designer”

If finances still allow you to contact a qualified specialist, it is better to do this immediately. Only a professional can maximally competently zone, improve and decorate the space.

And most importantly you’ll need enthusiasm! Without healthy enthusiasm and a good mood, repairs can drive you crazy haha 🙂
