Reno Trends Worth Knowing
The renovation industry can be quite vast and complex. We reached out to the experts at The HandyForce, a Toronto-based renovation and handyman company with over a decade of experience that ranges from large-scale renovations to smaller, high-impact projects and asked them what renovation trends they see impacting projects of all types and sizes. Whether it’ s a full kitchen overhaul or simply updating a room with new flooring or fixtures, what are the things that matter most to homeowners today?
Sustainability Leads the Way
One element that continues to be a key focus in projects of all sizes is a strong focus on eco-conscious living. Examples include using reclaimed wood for accent walls, low-VOC paints to improve indoor air quality, and watersaving fixtures for bathroom remodels. These upgrades don’ t just benefit the environment, they often translate to long-term savings for homeowners, too.
“ Our clients are increasingly interested in renovations that are not only stylish but also environmentally responsible,” says a HandyForce team member.“ We see a lot of demand for things like bamboo cabinetry, LED lighting, and smart thermostats. We actively work to incorporate sustainable materials and energy-efficient solutions into our renovation work.”
Modern Layouts and Personalized Design
With a desire for brighter, more connected living spaces, floor plans that create better flow and functionality are a common renovation goal. This could mean removing walls to open up kitchens and living rooms or designing custom built-ins for better storage.
In one recent project, the HandyForce team transformed the layout of a dated Leaside loft into a spacious, modern home suited to both daily living and entertaining. In another, they brought new life to a Leslieville bungalow with smart space planning and attention to architectural detail.
Small Upgrades, Big Impact
Not every project has to be a full-scale renovation to make a difference. For many homeowners, their desired living space can be achieved with small, thoughtfully planned updates such as adding an accent wall, installing new flooring, or optimizing storage with custom furniture solutions.
These projects are often quick to complete but can dramatically improve the feel and function of a space. The experts at HandyForce suggest arranging for a free consultation where homeowners can explore a wide range of options that suit their lifestyle and budget.
As trends continue to evolve, the focus for homeowners and HandyForce professionals remains on blending modern, sustainable design with practical, lasting craftsmanship.- The HandyForce, www. thehandyforce. com
