The annual Virginia Home Show (vahomeshow.com) returns to Richmond in January! This year’s show features more than 125 home improvement experts, craftspeople, and exhibitors, including remodeling contractors and kitchen, bath, and landscape designers, all ready to help you successfully complete your next project and get ready for spring home improvement. The Virginia Home Show, January 25 and 26, 2020 at the Farm Bureau Center at Meadow Event Park in Doswell, is a one-stop-shop for everything for the home, from tile backsplashes, granite countertops, and patio rooms, to custom cabinetry, grilling systems, walk-in pantries, hot tubs and swimming pools and much more.
In the next three months, roughly 75 percent of homeowners are planning to take on one or more projects, according to the Home Improvement Research Institute. Meanwhile, interest in home remodeling is projected to increase through 2021. With future home improvement projects clearly on the minds of many, attendees can find all of the ideas, inspiration, and in-person advice they need to get started, while exploring the latest in home building, design, and remodeling, all under one roof at the Virginia Home Show. So what’s trending this year? Whether you’re renovating your kitchen, adding a stylish new deck, or converting your attic into a bedroom, here are a few exhibitor trends that you’ll see at the show:
1. Make Your Home an Oasis: Rockville, Va.-based Smallwood Renovations goal? Helping homeowners enrich the home living experience. From decks, gutters, and roofing to windows, doors, and siding, Smallwood’s home improvement products and services take homes to the next level of comfort.

2. Boost Home Efficiency: Need to replace your HVAC system in prep for summer? Want to reduce energy costs or improve indoor air quality? Thinking of going green and using solar to power your home?

3. Refresh Your Kitchen Cabinets: Looking for an affordable alternative to the high cost of kitchen cabinet replacement or refacing? You don’t have to scrap a perfectly usable set of cabinets, especially when your existing ones can be reborn with the modern, appealing look and feel of a brand-new custom-designed set. Chesterfield-based ReFresh Cabinets can explain to show attendees how to transform mediocre cabinets into extraordinary ones. (refreshcabinets.com)
4. Partner with a Home Remodel Expert: As mentioned, homeowners are remodeling more than ever – but it can be an overwhelming process, especially if you’ve ever thought about DIY-ing. That’s why Mechanicsville-based Trinity Renovations, Inc. focuses on service – when you take on a bathroom or kitchen remodel, they’ll be right there helping you decide on tile, order cabinets, or pick out fixtures. They handle the details start to finish, sharing what today’s home consumer wants – that ‘how-to’ knowledge. (trinityrenovationsinc.com)
