Smart Interior Renovation Tips – Avoid Costly Mistakes

Quality in Details

Renovating your home or apartment is a major investment — not just financially, but also in terms of comfort, functionality, and aesthetics. At EvoSpace, we’ve seen firsthand how certain common mistakes can reduce the quality and efficiency of a renovation project. That’s why we’ve compiled this expert guide to help you avoid them and make smarter, long-lasting decisions.

Here are our top 11 practical tips to ensure your interior renovation delivers both visual elegance and functional comfort.

1. Avoid Glossy Finishes

Whether choosing ceramic tiles or laminate flooring, stay away from overly shiny surfaces. Matte finishes look more elegant, reflect less light, and are less likely to become visually overwhelming over time.

2. Keep Floor Levels Uniform

Whenever possible, maintain the same floor level throughout all rooms, including bathrooms. Avoid unnecessary step-ups or changes in height that interrupt flow and usability.

3. Skip the Aluminum Floor Profiles

Connecting laminate and tile with aluminum profiles cheapens the look. If your laminate is installed by a skilled craftsman, it can be glued and sealed properly without using visible metal joints — just use matching acrylic silicone in the appropriate color.

4. Plan Electrical Work Carefully

Never route electrical cables horizontally across walls — always run them vertically for safety and future maintenance. We also recommend:

• Placing sockets and switches on separate circuit breakers per room

• Installing a leakage relay for safety

• Using reverse switches and a master switch to turn off all lights with a single button when leaving the house

5. Don't Skimp on Interior Doors

Choose high-quality painted MDF doors instead of cheap laminated ones. Not only do they offer a better finish, but they also ensure durability, better insulation, and a premium feel.

6. Insulate Your Ceiling

Ceiling insulation with rock wool (mineral wool) is essential for thermal efficiency and lower utility bills. It’s a small investment that pays off in long-term savings.

7. Cut Ceramic Tiles at a 45° Angle

No matter how premium your ceramic tiles are, covering tile corners with metal profiles instantly cheapens the look. Instead, always bevel edges at 45 degrees for a clean, seamless connection that preserves the elegance of the material.

8. Avoid Shower Curbs When Possible

Modern shower traps (linear or square) do not require a curb if the floor is properly sloped toward the drain. This creates a more minimalistic and seamless bathroom design.

9. Install a Floor Trap Under Hygienic Shower

In bathrooms with a bidet shower or hygienic spray, we recommend installing a standard-sized floor trap nearby to ensure proper drainage and hygiene.

10. Use Non-Textured Fleece Wallpaper Before Painting

In newly constructed buildings, micro-cracks are inevitable. To avoid visible cracks in the paint over time, apply smooth, non-textured fleece wallpaper as a base layer before painting the walls.

11. Use High-Quality Gypsum Board Profiles

When installing a gypsum ceiling, the distance between profiles should be no more than 40 cm, and we recommend using thick-walled Knauf profiles for durability and strength — especially if the ceiling will support lighting or decorative elements.
