With so many home design ideas, from the interior to decor, surfing around the internet, it may be absolutely overwhelming to choose what’s right for your home. After all, nobody wants to get their house repainted or have their new furniture going redundant just because they didn’t think it through in the first place.

So in order to find out what common mistakes are best avoided when designing your dream home, we talked to Nisha Vaidya, a personal finance editor at Money.co.uk, who shared some useful tips on how not to waste your time, energy, and money on something you’ll regret.

“From a practical perspective, consider your budget and skillset before beginning any challenging projects,” Nisha said and added that fixing structural issues will likely take longer and cost a lot more in the long term than initially paying for an expert tradesperson to complete the job in the first place.“Secondly, measure, measure and measure again—having a rug that's off center or a sofa that doesn't quite fit can turn a relaxing space into a bugbear for the eagle-eyed amongst you.”

“Additionally, a common interior design mistake is overdoing current trends or favorite pieces,” Nisha warned. “Most interior designers will promote a mixture of furniture types and styles and steer away from homogenous products. If you enjoy a certain interior trend (e.g. paneling), be sure to make this a focal point in your home and steer away from using the feature in every space, as this will dilute its effect.”

If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of design ideas on the internet, Nisha reminds that choosing what you want for your home ultimately comes down to your personal choice. “If you love an interior design trend, hunt for ways you can incorporate it into your home.”

However, it’s always smart to think about the cost, practicality and the space you have available, she suggests. “For example, if you have a small galley kitchen but are desperate for a kitchen island and entertainment space, you may have to rethink how practical and doable it will be.”

Why not? If it's in a spa or something, you could also share this with a friend for instance.

I know I will get downvoted for this, but I think this is quite sexist. A male could be any colour other than blueing not just a ‘boy’ colour. A female shouldn’t be recognised as pink because there a girl. I, for instance, like the colour pink and i’m A male. I know some female friends who like blue. Whether this is made for this pic or not, I don’t believe this is a good idea.

I can see the attraction of this -- I like nice, warm soothing water. My wife likes scalding hot water, it's hard for us to bathe comfortably together. We compromised by using a hot tub since it has no "scalding hot" option.

Aside from the pink and blue lights I rather like this one. You get to take batsh together without kiking each other in the balls or f***y every time your foot slips and without getting leg cramps because you have to be positioned so awkwardly while trying not to shove your toes into your significant others body

I think I'd have to slit my writs right about the time someone plopped into the tub next to me. The bath is sometimes the only solitude you have when there are kids around, to share it would make my brain melt...

Adjust the water temp to your liking. Not sharing germy bath water. Not worrying about whether the other person clipped their toenails. Plenty of space for wine glasses. I’m not seeing an issue with this. In fact, where can I buy one?

You can chango from one to the other. With different temoerature, lights or bubbles. Or just to take out the soap, like when you wash dishes. Ah! Or... have you got a dog?

Bathing together but with different temperatures is great. The choice of colors in the photo isn't, but the actual lights can be set to any color.

Love it. Want it. Sharing bath water is just a very small public pool with a person who is not a stranger but gets more strange as you get to know them. Like serial killers.

I was in a house the other day and the owner boasted about having installed the bathroom and the door was just like this! They could have arranged the suite differently, or used a sliding/folding/concertina door, but no, they cut a 'toilet shaped' hole in the door (with astonishing accuracy!). No modesty flap though...!
