At BonGoods, we’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners — and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that even the most beautiful spaces can come with a few “wish I had done it differently” moments.
So we decided to ask:
What’s your biggest design regret?
Here’s what our clients shared — and how you can avoid the same mistakes.
1. “I didn’t hire a designer earlier.”
So many clients said this. They tried to do it all themselves — scrolling Pinterest at midnight, second-guessing color choices, measuring furniture five times… only to feel overwhelmed and burnt out.
The takeaway: Working with a designer from the beginning saves you stress, money, and costly redos. With BonGoods, the entire process is online, flexible, and designed around your needs.
2. “I didn’t plan for enough storage.”
Looks aren’t everything — and our clients agree. From cluttered entryways to kitchens with no pantry space, many wished they had thought more practically during the design phase.
The takeaway: Function is just as important as aesthetics. Our team always considers layout, lifestyle, and long-term use when creating your design plan.
3. “I followed trends that didn’t feel like me.”
That all-white kitchen with gold handles? Gorgeous — but some clients realized later that it didn’t reflect their taste. Trends come and go, but your space should still feel like home.
The takeaway: We help you find a timeless balance between what’s trending and what truly suits your style.

4. “I underestimated the importance of lighting.”
This one surprised even us — but it’s true. Clients told us their spaces felt cold, flat, or too dim because they didn’t think through their lighting plan.
The takeaway: Proper lighting (ambient, task, accent) makes or breaks a room. That’s why every BonGoods design includes a layered lighting strategy.
5. “I didn’t visualize the final look.”
Some clients struggled to picture how all their choices would come together — and ended up with mismatched furniture, clashing finishes, or layouts that didn’t flow.
The takeaway: 3D renderings change everything. At BonGoods, you’ll see exactly what your space will look like before committing to anything.
Final Thought
Design regrets happen — but they don’t have to.
