Kitchen renovations in Toronto homes and condos are much different now. They often need major changes to fit modern lifestyles, including bigger cooking areas and upgrades to electrical, plumbing, and HVAC for newer appliances and lighting.

Open-concept layouts are common: walls are removed so the kitchen flows into the living area. Countertops are usually solid surfaces like engineered quartz, granite, wood, or stainless steel, easy to clean and good for undermount sinks. Islands with seating provide extra workspace and social space. Appliances and finishes are more practical and attractive since they’re visible from the living room. Better lighting and electrical pot lights, more outlets, and under-counter LED lighting are typical even in simple remodels.
