From skirting boards to wall sconces, cabinetry to flooring, dishwashers to dryers, one of the biggest mistakes Three Birds sees is new renovators not selecting fixtures and fittings early enough. Not only do they help achieve the look and feel of a home, but are also some of the most heavily used features in your kitchen, laundry, and bathroom. It pays off to invest in these items – and adequately budget for them. Go window shopping as soon as you’ve confirmed your vision board and take note of the price of each product to help populate your budget tracker.

For example, appliances fit in much earlier than you’d think in the planning process! Quite often the kitchen ends up being designed around the appliances as the choice of oven style, fridge size, and other items you choose impact the layout and size of your kitchen plans.
