Flooring Contractor Dishes on Top 3 2024 Flooring Trends

By Inspired Remodels / Home Improvement / Comments Off

Whether you plan to renovate an entire room or just update the flooring this year, you’ll want to select something trending. Inspired Remodels, an Orange County flooring contractor, shares the top 3 trends for Orange County flooring

Hardwood Still Hot

Nothing can be finer than to be with Carolina hardwood in the morning. Well, that’s not exactly how the song goes, but the sentiment remains strong.

Nothing is finer than hardwood flooring in the morning, as well as mid-day and night. And the wider the plank, the better.

Ask any Orange County flooring contractor and they will tell you hardwood flooring tops the list for durability and beauty.

These days, hardwood flooring adorns kitchen floors too! Advances in floor finishing create hardwood floors that stand up to the rigors of kitchen life.

In almost any room except the bathroom or laundry room, hardwood reigns supreme, and wood-look porcelain tile serves as its queen.

Warm Tones Heating Up

Using warm tones heats up in 2024. Cool tones still make an appearance, but now they are used in cabinets and countertops.

Look no further than the floor to find a little warmth.

Warm tones found in tile, stone, and wood make their mark on 2024 designs. They set a table where even little pops of color stand out.

Whether it’s the floor of the bathroom shower or the kitchen or entryway floor, you’ll find warm tones abound.

Neutral Tones for the Bathroom

Move over greige, taupe takes the lead. While grey and warm tones continue as the base of popular palettes, taupe takes the market head-on.

Any flooring contractor in the know understands taupe brings a super-power few other colors possess. Its chameleon-like characteristics allow it to transform color based on the colors around it.

Put taupe tiles near off-white or gray cabinets and they appear gray. However, take the same taupe tile and place it near oak or other light wood cabinets (Shaker of course), and voila, you have a brown or beige-looking tile.

Check out these bathroom remodel projects.

Blue cabinets have been trending up for the last year. Now, green joins the party. This bathroom remodel uses green on the walls and cabinets to provide a quintessential Southern California vibe.

This bathroom remodel pays homage to the area’s ranching roots. Before the malls, before the subdivisions, the ranch dominated the scene. Warm wood cabinets, neutral-tone floors, white countertops, and lots of light make this bathroom shine – literally.

A full-length, wall-mounted mirror serves two purposes. First, mirrors reflect light and make small spaces appear much larger. Second, who doesn’t love a full peek in the mirror before stepping out for the day?

If you tell your kitchen and bath contractor you want a spa vibe, will they deliver luxury like this? Dark hex tile on the floor sets the stage for a soothing mood in the room. A Japanese-style soaking tub lets you say, “Calgon, take all my stress away”. Dual hand-held showers and rain showers drench your body and quench your desire for pampering. Neutral subway tile with a matte finish in the shower and on the accent wall continues the serene vibe of the room. And talk about attention to detail, just note how the pattern on the accent tile on the shower floor duplicates the shape of the floor tile. Add simple natural wood Shaker cabinets and dark hardware and you complete the spa feel to this room. A real owner’s retreat at the end of the day and the perfect place to start each day too!

Inspired Kitchens

Kitchens must reflect the personality and lifestyle of the homeowner. The needs of a busy family differ from the needs of a single gourmet cook or a couple that entertains regularly. A good kitchen and bath contractor understands that a kitchen must look good and work smoothly.

Check out these inspired kitchen remodels.

This Laguna Niguel kitchen remodel included a bar and La Cantina doors to bring outside and inside spaces together. This design offers all the entertaining space the homeowner needs.

See how the kitchen flows naturally to the bar and the bar coordinates with the pool area. Stunning and suitable for hosting large and intimate gatherings.

When space is at a premium, every inch counts. This kitchen remodel relies on light colors to make the space look larger. The kitchen triangle with stove, sink, and refrigerator comes together in perfection. Backsplash tile adds interest, keeping this kitchen space anything but boring.

Tips from Kitchen and Bath Contractors Make Holiday Guests Feel at Home

By Inspired Remodels / Home Improvement / Comments Off

Holiday guests en route to your house? Use this as an opportunity to spruce up a few things in the kitchen and bath. Inspired Remodels, the Orange County kitchen and bath contractors, knows how to create comfortable, beautiful, and useful spaces.

Use their tips to create spaces that help your holiday guests feel right at home.

In the Kitchen

Clean out the inside of your refrigerator. There’s no time like the present to toss out those unidentifiable leftovers or that condiment you’ve had for so long you can’t remember when or why you purchased it.

Wipe down countertops and appliances so the kitchen sparkles.

Leave coffee mugs out by the coffee pot. If you have a single-serve (Keurig-style) coffee pot, make sure it’s filled with water and the K-cups are next to the pot. Want to wow guests? Toss in a few pods of apple cider or herbal tea.

Create a snacking station. Whether you set out a few local delicacies on the kitchen island or assemble a tray of cookies by the coffee pot, make grabbing a snack easy.

In the Bathroom

Even rooms that lack frequent use still get dirty. Make sure to go over the guest bathroom quickly with a dusting cloth.

Dust settles on even the cleanest vanity tops, mirrors, and the backs of toilets. So, send the dust bunnies scurrying to another house.

Give your guests a 5-star hotel feeling by leaving a carefully curated selection of luxury soaps, lotions, and other toiletries.

Set out plush, absorbent towels for guests. You can place these on the edge of the bathtub or at the foot of the bed in the guest bedroom.

Make sure at least one cabinet or drawer is empty, so guests have a place to store their own personal care items, medications, and hygiene items.

In the Bedroom

Carry that luxury hotel feeling from the bathroom into the bedroom. Splurge on high thread count sheets. These days, most fine bed linens are permanent press. But, for an over-the-top experience, iron pillowcases and the top edge of the flat bedsheet.

Clear out some room in the closet to hang clothes and store luggage. If you have a dresser or chest of drawers, provide ample room for guest to stow their clothing.

Leave a slip of paper with the wi-fi name and password, operating instructions for any heating or air conditioning in the room, and key codes for entry doors.
