If you’ve just downloaded Home Design Makeover, you’ve probably already realized how addictive it can be. Decorating virtual homes is fun, but the real challenge is earning enough coins and gems to keep progressing without feeling stuck.

When I first started playing, I wasted boosters and coins without thinking, and I often found myself stuck on levels for days. After spending quite a bit of time on this game, here are some personal tips that actually make a difference.





1. Understand the Basics of Home Design Makeover

At its core, the game is about solving match-3 puzzles to earn coins, which you’ll then use to buy furniture, decorations, and complete room makeovers.

The puzzles start off easy, but they get much harder as you progress. That’s where strategy kicks in. If you treat it like a mindless match-3, you’ll burn through lives fast. If you think a couple of moves ahead, it becomes much more rewarding.





2. Focus on Objectives, Not Just Matches

When you play a level, don’t just swipe tiles randomly. Always check the level objective first. Sometimes you’ll need to clear specific items (like boxes, paint buckets, or fabric) instead of just racking up points.

I can’t count how many times I almost finished a puzzle but forgot to clear the actual target. Planning your moves around the objective saves lives and keeps your progress smooth.

3. Save Your Boosters for Tough Levels

Boosters are tempting, but they’re also rare and valuable. When I first started, I used them just to speed up easy levels. Big mistake.
Now, I save them for levels where I’ve already failed multiple times. That way, I know I’m not wasting them. The best use of boosters is when they help you clear objectives that are otherwise almost impossible.

Tip: Combining boosters (like a rocket + bomb) can completely change the outcome of a level. Don’t underestimate those combos.


4. Log In Daily for Rewards

Even if you don’t have much time to play, logging in once a day is worth it (like you do here at sbenny :p). Daily rewards (coins, gems, or boosters) add up fast.
It takes less than a minute, but over a week you’ll notice the difference. Skipping daily rewards is like saying no to free help — and in a game like this, every little advantage counts.


5. Redecorate With Style (But Be Smart)

While it’s fun to pick the fanciest furniture right away, remember that progression matters more than style in the early stages.
I usually go for affordable options first, then come back later when I’ve built up more coins to redecorate with premium pieces. This way, I don’t get stuck with no currency and half-finished rooms.

6. Connect to Facebook (Optional but Helpful)

If you don’t mind linking your game, connecting to Facebook has a couple of advantages:
  • It saves your progress across devices.
  • Sometimes you get small extra rewards.
  • Competing with friends makes the grind less boring.
I personally prefer keeping my progress safe, so linking is worth it for me.

7. Learn From Your Mistakes (and Don’t Rush)

One of the biggest lessons I learned is patience. Sometimes failing a level teaches you the pattern or strategy for the next attempt. Don’t just spam moves — slow down and plan ahead.
It’s easy to burn through all your lives in frustration. If that happens, take a break. Coming back later with a fresh mind often works better.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here are some traps I fell into early on that you can avoid:
  • Using boosters too early.
  • Ignoring the objectives.
  • Spending gems on extra lives instead of saving for tougher spots.
  • Choosing expensive furniture too soon.

Learning to avoid these mistakes will save you a lot of frustration.



FAQ – Home Design Makeover Tips

Can you play without spending money?
Yes, but you’ll need patience. Coins and gems take time to earn, but with daily logins and smart booster use, you can progress without paying.


What’s the hardest part of the game?
For me, it’s when the levels require multiple objectives at once (like clearing boxes while also collecting fabrics). That’s when boosters become lifesavers.


How do you get coins faster?
Aside from puzzles, keep an eye on events. Limited-time challenges usually give bigger rewards.



Final Thoughts

Home Design Makeover is a mix of creativity and puzzle-solving, and that’s what makes it so enjoyable. With the right strategy, you’ll avoid frustrating roadblocks and actually enjoy the process of designing dream homes.
My advice? Take your time, plan your moves, and don’t waste boosters on easy levels. Whether you’re here for the puzzles or the design freedom, there’s plenty of fun to be had.
