For me the main areas of consideration while renovating a room or living room are design, construction, electricals, flooring, plastic painting & finishes and furnishings related to it.
Laminate flooring is a "floating" floor that needs a quarter inch of space where the flooring meets walls and other surfaces such as doorways and fireplaces, and it's important that you use the right trim and technique to finish the edge if you want to achieve a professional look to your project.
Mold can be dangerous to your health, even if you arent allergic. Many people react to mold by getting tired and even depressed. Try to stay on top of moisture and mold as soon as either arises.
