More than a year of lockdown has turned people’s attention to home improvements and renovations, but when things go wrong you might wish that you’d left well enough alone. 

To prove that point, Daily Stuff has rounded up a selection of renovation mishaps from around the world that prove how you can end up worse off if you call in a cowboy builder, or attempt a bit of DIY when you don’t know what you’re doing. 

Among the disasters is a balcony that completely collapsed due to its thin and unsupported wooden beams, and a huge tree that was planted in front of a garage entrance.

Elsewhere, one amateur attempted to create a makeshift shower head using a pierced bottle, and another person clumsily fixed their sofa using grey tape.

Here, FEMAIL reveals a variety of renovation failures that will make you pick up the phone to a professional when you’re considering home improvements.
