AN interior designer has lifted the lid on the number one mistake she sees in her day job – and urged others not to follow suit.
While many people make various rash decisions that aren’t thought through when renovating their home, the homes expert says the biggest blunder happens when they order materials set to transform their space.

TikTok user @houseofd3, who offers up valuable interior advice to her 64,700 followers, explained: “Never, ever, ever, ever do this. This mistake can honestly cost you thousands.
“Don’t ever order materials without first seeing them in person.
“Tone, texture, colour, it all changes with lighting from room to room.”
To avoid having to pay a hefty bill for materials you will no longer want, or use, @houseofd3 says you not only have to see them in person – but also lay them down together side by side to make sure they go.
The mum-of-three, who works in real estate, has also shared many other helpful insider trading tips on what you should do before starting a home project.
In another video, she reveals how you can renovate your home on a tight budget.
In it, she asks her community: “Do you need to redo your house but don’t have the budget for it? This video is for you.
“I really think this tip is going to be an encouragement – whoever said you had to change everything in your house all at the same time?”
Instead, the social media influencer says it’s important to take it slowly and plan carefully what you want to do each time.
She continued: “Go slow, pick one room and one object, buy quality and it will last.”
The working mum has previously offered other advice on how to make your home look like it’s been styled by an interior designer.
Plus, @houseofd3 explains why it’s essential to paint colour samples onto your wall in the room you want to use them, so as not to waste time and effort on something you will redecorate.
