Home help: I’m doing a home renovation and feeling overwhelmed by costs. What should I spend on and where can I save?

Anyone who has renovated a home will know that it is as exciting as it is stressful. You spend years saving, planning and imagining how your dream space might look, only to suddenly find yourself making endless decisions and watching the costs rise by the day. I turned to interior designer David O’Brien for his advice and, reassuringly, he says this feeling is incredibly common.
