Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid in Apartment Renovation (and How We Prevent Them)
We reveal the 5 most common renovation mistakes — and how Duomo Bureau prevents them with strategy, and foresight.
Renovation can be transformative — or frustrating. The difference? Knowing what to avoid.
At Duomo Bureau, we’ve seen firsthand how even beautiful ideas can fall apart without smart planning. These are the top 5 mistakes we’ve learned to prevent — so your project doesn’t just look good, but lives well.
1. Ignoring the Layout
No amount of marble will save a poor layout. We start every project by redefining the plan — ensuring flow, light, and zoning make sense for real life.
2. Choosing Trendy Over Timeless
It’s tempting to chase trends. But we focus on materials and forms that age gracefully — because real style doesn’t expire.
3. Overlooking Storage
Clutter ruins calm. We integrate invisible, beautiful storage — from built-in wardrobes to hidden kitchen systems — to keep spaces serene.
4. Poor Lighting Strategy
Lighting isn’t decoration — it’s architecture. We layer ambient, task, and accent lighting into every room for balance and atmosphere.
5. Rushing the Finishes
Most errors happen in the final stretch. We never rush. Details are where luxury lives — and we protect that, even under pressure.
Avoiding these mistakes isn’t luck — it’s process. That’s the difference Duomo brings to every renovation: clarity, care, and calm.
