Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes confuse "renovate" with "decorate". "Renovate" means to repair and improve the structure or main parts of a building (floors, walls, plumbing, layout), while "decorate" mainly means to add colors, furniture, or ornaments. Another mistake is using "renovate" for very small changes like moving a chair; real renovation usually involves bigger work and cost.
