Latest Trends in Exterior Home Renovations and Design

A home’s exterior is the first impression it makes when people see it from the street.

A nice exterior will increase the property’s value and will generally make you feel good about the place. It is a statement about who you are and what you are like. Let’s admit it, we love it when guests are impressed with how great our homes look when we host a party or a family get-together.

There are many things you can do to refresh, upgrade and improve your home’s exterior, and your Toronto exterior renovations experts at Royal Home improvement are here to give you a few trendy ideas.

Screened Porches

If your front or back yard has a separate space such as a patio, gazebo or porch, you can emphasize it by adding an elegant screen draping to it. Let it get overgrown with Ivy and you will have a perfect, weather-protected retreat with an unexpected natural Wow factor for visitors. This type of semi-enclosure can  make the place super enjoyable in the summer and winter, protecting you from rain and heat, while at the same time allowing you to enjoy the added privacy it grants.

Handcrafted Decor

Another trend in exterior renovations in Toronto is stucco wall finishes and other hand made marvels of artisanal design. Reclaimed wood furniture, custom accents, stone masonry, mosaic floors, and fine statuary are also gaining in popularity. Those elements, when used wisely, can make the difference between an OK exterior and a truly elegant appearance.

Designer Roof Trim

Soffits and fascia’s, when approached with some artistic flair, can also add a lot to a home’s exterior. They contain the potential to emphasize and embellish your home’s exterior magnificently. Designer soffits and fascia’s can be made to blend or stand out, depending on the look you aim to achieve with your home’s facade.

Soft Colors with Strong Accents

The use of color in exterior renovations in Toronto has evolved a lot in recent years and had reached a point of balance, where bold, glaring exteriors are left behind in favour of softer, natural tones with cleverly placed highlights of vivid blue on gray or raspberry on soft brown or green, to name a few examples.
