(Especially the ones you only realise after you move in… when it’s too late.)
Most renovation regrets don’t come from bad design.
They come from tiny decisions that snowball into daily frustrations:
❌ Water puddles around the sink from a tap-sink mismatch
❌ A robot vacuum that can’t pass the service yard bump
❌ Gorgeous drawers… that slam because soft-close wasn’t tested
❌ Overspending on custom carpentry when a $20 DIY rack could’ve worked
Like many first-time homeowners, I found myself asking:
“Why didn’t anyone tell me this earlier?”
So I started documenting everything — not just from my own home, but from friends, DMs, and the thousands of homeowners in my cozy community who bravely shared what they regretted.
And I turned all that into one powerful, regret-proofing tool.

✅ Lifetime updates — new regrets will be added as I learn more (via my Home Reno IG Channel)
Created to help you save time, money, and decision fatigue.
