Transform Your Living Space in Just One Day

Are you tired of the same old walls and floors in your home? Would you like to refresh your living space without undergoing extensive renovations? Toolbox, a pioneering company based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is changing the game with its innovative "Wall and Floor Renovation Service," which will begin accepting volunteers for a special monitor program on July 16, 2025.

A New Concept in Home Renovation

Traditionally, when people think about renovation, they often imagine large-scale projects that involve significant structural changes or repairs. However, over time, subtle signs—such as the need for a different wall texture or a new floor vibe—can spark the desire for change. Toolbox recognizes this, having received countless requests from customers seeking minor adjustments that could significantly affect their home's atmosphere.

Yet, many homeowners find that small-scale renovations are often overlooked by contractors or come with vague pricing, leading to a frustrating gap between desire and feasibility. With this backdrop, Toolbox introduces a concept they call "After Renovation"—a more affordable, personalized way to improve your living space gradually while living in it.

Quick and Easy Renovation Services

Toolbox focuses on providing a straightforward service that specializes in partial renovations, targeting only the wall and floor. Customers can choose between two popular product options:

1. Classic Rib Panel: Made from solid wood, this panel boasts a three-dimensional design that interacts beautifully with light, adding warmth and richness to any room. Starting at ¥9,400 per square meter. See product details here.

2. Easy Lock Flooring: This interlocking oak flooring can be installed without glue or nails, making it ideal for rental apartments or DIY enthusiasts. Prices begin at ¥8,000 per square meter. See product details here.

Both products are designed for easy installation without damaging existing interiors, ensuring that a complete renovation can be achieved in just 1-2 days per room. With transparent pricing based on area, customers will find it easy to inquire and plan their renovations.

Success Stories from Early Adopters

Since launching this service in April 2025, Toolbox has received positive feedback from customers. Some of the highlights include:

• - "The wall I’ve been worried about for years has finally become my favorite!"
• - "In just one day, it feels like the entire room has been rejuvenated!"
• - "Sipping coffee in front of my newly renovated wall has become a delightful daily ritual."
• - "This experience has sparked my interest in home design once again!"

These testimonials illustrate how even minor renovations can significantly change a room's atmosphere and contribute to a happier home environment.
