Home improvement can cost homeowners thousands of pounds and can involve a lot of hard work. The upside of this is homes generally increase in value when the work is complete.<\/p>\n

Many turn to social media websites like TikTok for home improvement inspiration, and while using social media for home improvement isn’t a bad idea, James Newman an interior designer from luxury house company Raffle House, warns that not all design trends will add value to homes, and could make it \u201charder to sell\u201d.<\/p>\n

He noted that there are some features households add that \u201cwon\u2019t add value\u201d and can even \u201cput buyers off\u201d. He said: \u201cIf you don’t want to waste your money, these are the trends to stay away from.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cDIY projects often cost more than most budget for and without the right skillset will often cheapen the look of your home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes time to sell your home you could put potential buyers off with your DIY as they may start to wonder, what else did you build in the home.”<\/p>\n

The designer claimed that those who need something built in their home are always going to get a better result when hiring a professional as they know the right materials to use and how to do the job at hand to get the best finish.<\/p>\n
