The Real Cost of Cheap Design

Saving money during a home renovation sounds appealing, but cheap design often comes with a hidden price. What looks good today may cost you twice as much to repair tomorrow.

At Mazon Interiors, we’ve seen first-hand what happens when materials, planning, or installation are rushed. True value comes from investing in quality design that lasts.

1. When “Budget-Friendly” Becomes Costly

That quote that seems like a bargain often hides compromises. Low-cost materials can appear fine at first, but within months doors start to swell, floors begin to lift, and grout starts cracking.

When poor-quality work fails, you don’t just replace one element. You end up fixing everything around it too, which means twice the labour, twice the cost, and unnecessary stress.

2. Why Cheap Design Doesn’t Last

Poor design isn’t only about appearance. It’s about structure, planning, and the skill of those who bring your space to life.

We often receive calls from homeowners only a few months after their renovation is finished because something hasn’t stood the test of time. It’s rarely the colour scheme that’s the problem. It’s the shortcuts: the wrong materials, rushed fitting, or lack of preparation.

At Mazon Interiors, we believe the details you don’t see matter just as much as the ones you do. From the framework behind your cabinetry to the underlay beneath your flooring, every layer counts.

3. The Value of Quality Design and Flooring

Good design isn’t expensive. Bad design is.

When you choose high-quality materials and professional installation, your home works better and lasts longer. Proper planning prevents problems before they happen, creating a space that looks beautiful and performs perfectly for years to come.

That’s why we partner with Mazon Flooring, specialists in premium flooring supply and installation. From engineered wood to luxury vinyl and bespoke finishes, their craftsmanship ensures every floor complements your design and stands the test of time.

Investing in expert design, quality materials, and skilled installation means you’ll only do it once, and do it right.
