In Toronto, a well-planned renovation focusing on key areas like the kitchen, bathroom, basement, doors and windows, layout, and essential utilities can significantly upgrade an old house, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics, while ensuring safety and comfort for years to come.
During the renovation process, there are the key areas you must update to extend your home's lifespan for decades!
These are one of the most crucial parts of any old house renovation, significantly impacting the living experience. Revamping the layout and style of the kitchens and bathrooms can have an effect that's more than the sum of its parts. ✅
Transforming a gloomy, damp old basement adds a ton of recreational space like gyms and home theaters; it feels amazing to use. Plus, ensure both the interior and exterior waterproofing is done right in the basement. 💡
Over time, windows and doors may no longer be sealed properly, affecting the indoor temperature. This is especially crucial in Toronto's cold winters, where insulation is key. Additionally, windows and doors can affect the overall aesthetic of the house. Replacing them with unified styles can harmonize the interior design. 🪟
Many old houses no longer meet our current needs, which is why a designer might need to replan the room layout. Knocking down walls to create an open, spacious area, or redividing the space to add an extra bedroom or bathroom can be a great solution. 🛋️
The plumbing and electrical circuits in older houses might be outdated, so it's crucial to check the entire house to avoid hazards. Replacing with an adequate heating system not only ensures effective heating but can also save on bills. 💰
