1 Million+ What’s the biggest design mistake you made?

Question

For those flipping in LA with ARV above a million, what were some things you learned about what NOT to do or put in your house finishes/design. Or something clever you might’ve done to attract buyers. Sometimes budgets are tight but you still need to get that million dollar house impression since buyers can be way more meticulous than other cities. Interested to hear from others.

Stuff for 1M and above in LA/SoCal.. There are things I have seen that are just added touches that will make a better out price. The one that comes to mind is one person I was working with was doing flips ran the laminate through the whole house including the bathrooms. We had a talk about tiling the bathrooms going forward and it was a nice touch to get more value and add the transition. This PP was $600K-$650K though, and those tiled bathrooms (flooring) are a must in the higher price points.

The other thing in the higher end range is the vanities cannot be a HD special, they should be something a little different like a more custom cabinet place that can still produce the close to HD pricing but give you a little extra pop.
