Bringing a well-balanced home full-circle comes down to the details. That’s where the added function often comes into play!

Sun-Maximizing Tips for Your Space: Take on a Bigger Project | Havenly
If you’re looking to really let in the light to your forever home, consider taking on a larger project for a more permanent solution. If you’re feeling brave, adding skylights lets pure sunshine filter into even the darkest of spaces—including interior walk-in closets, bathrooms, and bedrooms—while maintaining privacy. Removing non-weight bearing walls between common rooms like the kitchen and living room lets light travel deeper into your home while opening up your floor plan to boot. Recessed lighting is another great option for shadowy spaces.
Popular Home Items That Aren’t Worth the Money: Kitchen Linens | Havenly
Let’s face it: your kitchen linens will get dirty and need to be washed thousands of times. They’re supposed to work hard for you, not collect dust on your stove. Skip the expensive silk, embroidered, display-only towels and invest in simple linens that match your aesthetic and come in multi-packs so you can wipe up spaghetti sauce without having anxiety.
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Going Too Trendy | Havenly
You don’t want to look back on your expensive kitchen renovation in five short years and cringe at the aesthetic choices you made. These spaces are important workhorses in any home, and should have a timeless look to match. We recommend bringing in trendy touches via decor and furniture that you can easily swap out, like counter stools, vases, utensils, and the like, and going more neutral and timeless with the hard finishes, like countertops, cabinetry, and backsplash tile.
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Too Much DIY | Havenly
DIY enthusiasm is commendable, but it’s important to know when to call in the professionals.

Don’t hesitate to seek expert help for tasks beyond your skillset!
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Ignoring the “Triangle Rule” | Havenly
The layout of your kitchen should adhere to the golden rule of design: the work triangle. This means that the sink, stove, and refrigerator should form a triangle to optimize workflow. When done properly, the work triangle ensures that you’re never more than a few feet away from your essential appliances when prepping, cooking, and serving meals. Neglecting this fundamental concept can result in a disjointed and inefficient cookspace that fails to check the “function” box.
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Form Over Function | Havenly
While sleek aesthetics are enticing, don’t sacrifice functionality for style. Those trendy open shelves and sleek marble countertops might look Instagram-worthy, but if they leave you scrambling for storage space or leaving stains every time you cook, they’re more hassle than they’re worth. Always prioritize practicality to ensure your kitchen works as hard as you do!
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Failing to Plan for Walkways | Havenly
We’ve all been in a home where an open cabinet, door, or drawer completely obstructs a walkway or bumps up into an appliance. To avoid this amateur faux pas, always draw up your walkways with swinging doors and open cabinets in mind — you’ll want to account for the entire footprint of each piece, and carve out space for wider walkways wherever possible. This thoughtfulness will ensure optimal flow and functionality.
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Waiting to Choose Appliances | Havenly
Believe it or not, selecting appliances should come near the beginning of the renovation process, not the end. Pick out and order your appliances ASAP (and don’t forget to account for shipping delays) so that you can plan cabinetry and countertop dimensions around them. While appliances may seem like more of a finishing touch, reverse engineering it in this way ensures that everything will fit and flow perfectly — and that you won’t be waiting for weeks to months for your new refrigerator.
9 “Popular” Kitchen Renovation Choices People Tend To Regret: Winging It | Havenly
A true kitchen renovation calls for a plan — like a spreadsheet, timeline, budget, and color-coded to-do list sort of plan. In addition to researching and hiring a qualified contractor and setting a budget up-front, you’ll need to think through the layout, functional needs, and design choices for the entire space — from the backsplash tile style, configuration, and color to the countertop material.
