Overstuffing a Small Space
Renovation failures often occur when homeowners try to fit too much into a small area. The intention may be to maximize functionality, but the result is often cramped and uncomfortable.
For instance, a family renovated a tiny kitchen by adding oversized appliances, extra cabinetry, and a large island. While the design looked complete, it left little room for movement, making cooking unpleasant. In another example, a bedroom renovation included bulky furniture and elaborate built-ins that made the room feel smaller than before.
Overstuffing ignores the importance of open space. It reduces comfort and diminishes the overall usability of the renovation. Instead of enhancing daily life, it creates frustration and clutter.
Conclusion: Less is often more in renovation. Proper scaling of furniture and fixtures ensures balance and usability. Ignoring proportions leads to congested spaces and failed designs.
