One common renovation mistake is designing a home that doesn’t match its surroundings.
A small house with ultra-luxury finishes may never recoup the cost. Meanwhile, a thoughtful, consistent upgrade blends into the neighborhood and holds value better.
Before major projects, I always walk the block. What materials do others use? How modern (or traditional) is the area? Balance matters.
Conclusion: Renovate for long-term value, not just personal mood swings. A home that fits its setting feels timeless instead of forced.
