Creating or even renovating your dream home can be exciting, but before you proceed and get carried away, there are some things you need to keep in mind – and among these are the things you should avoid doing when renovating.

Here are five DIY mistakes you should be aware of when making changes to your new HDB flat in Singapore:

1. Blindly following interior design trends

Popular trends come and go, and what’s “in” may not always be popular after a few years.

Unless you want to have a really specific design or aesthetic in mind, consider adding these themes only in small parts to make sure that you don’t have to do anything major. The best way to do this is by incorporating certain accessories or paints only at certain areas in your home.

2. Overlooking small mistakes

If you can see these mistakes, there’s a good chance everyone else will. So whether they are small planning mistakes or ergonomic problems with your design, be sure to fix them as soon as possible.

You should also make it a point to minimize injuries. No matter how small it may be, always invest in safety equipment and read the labels and instruction manuals before doing anything, and if it’s beyond your expertise, call a professional to help.

3. Starting without a plan

DIY projects are unlike other types of projects that allow you to work on the fly – every mistake or wrong measurement will cost you money, resources, and time that are better spent on other, more crucial aspects of your DIY home renovation.

To avoid this, you need an action plan that has all the necessary equipment, materials, and the measurements you need for your project from start to finish. This not only lets you know what to do at every step, but also minimizes any errors you might encounter.

4. Not making the right measurements

Mistakes cost money, and if you don’t want to be stuck doing everything multiple times, whether it’s cutting floor tiles or applying laminate flooring, you need to make sure you have the right measurements for every last detail.

To avoid this mistake, follow the old carpentry adage: “measure twice, cut once”.

5. Saving money on tools and materials

DIY may be a great way to save money by doing things on your own, but it doesn’t mean buying every tool or piece of equipment you need on the cheap.

In fact, because you want to be able to do quality work, you should invest in the tools that you need to get the job done as smoothly as possible. The same goes with materials, such as drywall, plaster, or even paints and tiles.
