Wonder what’s cooking in kitchen design? Inspired Remodels, local Orange County general contractors, have been busy whipping up beautiful and functional kitchens.

The personal style of the homeowner gets baked into every kitchen remodel and renovation when Inspired Remodels is on the job.

Here is a look at what can happen in the kitchen in the hands of awesome general contractors with a design-build approach to kitchen renovation.

Turning Up the Heat on Functionality in Coto de Caza Kitchens

It doesn’t matter how great a kitchen looks, if it isn’t functional it isn’t a kitchen. Inspired Remodels created this dream Coto de Caza kitchen to work as well as it looks.

This small touch represents the large amount of thought that goes into kitchen design when pro design-build general contractors do the work.

Take a step back and you’ll see the kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area. Now that’s an open concept that works beautifully.

Black and White and Style All Over

What’s black and white with style all over? Why another incredible kitchen renovation in the hands of Inspired Remodels!

A bar creates the transition from kitchen, to living, to outdoors. And La Cantina doors bring all three spaces together.

Bold black with gold accents goes big in the style department.

This kitchen renovation uses black and white to create a clean and classic style that endures. That little touch of black from custom cabinet hardware and the kitchen faucet are all this kitchen needs. Remember, hardware acts as jewelry for your cabinets. Every classic ensemble uses just a bit of jewelry, and every classic kitchen remodel does the same.

Orange County Flooring Contractor Floors Trends 2024

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Flooring Contractor Floors Trends 2024

Inspired Remodels, a leading Orange County flooring contractor, never stops looking forward.  Orange County homeowners thinking of new floors for the new year, should take a look at these trends for 2024. And when it comes time to hire a flooring contractor, don’t forget to look at Inspired Remodels.

Dark Floors

Dark flooring doesn’t have to be intimidating when it comes to interior design. Brightening up a space is as simple as using a lighter color scheme in other areas. If you’re installing black flooring throughout an entire room, for instance, a rug in a light color like beige, cream, or white would be a nice accent. This won’t take away from the floor, but rather add brightness to an otherwise dim area.

Paint walls a light color and instantly the room appears taller and more spacious.

Notice how light paint on the walls and light subway tile in the shower combine with the dark floor to make this bathroom appear more spacious and airy. You also enjoy a bit of drama with dark floors. Replace those dark floors with light tile and the drama melts away.

Timeless Stands

When a flooring contractor says “timeless”, they mean it. Some things really never go out of style.

What was timeless in 2014 stays timeless in 2024. Neutral tones rock floors through the decades. With beige, natural,  neutral, and grey floors you have a timeless base for building a variety of styles.

This white and blue kitchen fits today’s interior style trends. But as styles for cabinet finishes and countertops come and go, the grey floor remains timeless.

Walnut Wood Floors with step

Popular for Resale

Buyers want hardwood floors. Planks may get wider, but the demand for hardwood floors doesn’t fade away.

When it comes to recouping your money, wood flooring reigns supreme. Whether you go with the walnut featured above or pick a hickory or oak floor, you’ll make an investment in home value.

National Association of Realtors estimates that you recover 106% of the cost in added resale value.  That’s more than completing a kitchen or bathroom remodel. If you think selling your home is on the 2024 or 2025 horizon, add wood floors now and beat inflation. You’ll pay less now and get more in the future.

Stone and Wood

Natural building materials add timeless charm to any design. In 2024, both stone and wood play well together in almost any combination.

Stone on the wall and wood on the floor? Check!

Stone on the floor and barn door wood? Check!

No matter how you pair these two materials in 2024, you’ll love the results.

Inspired Remodels serves as a complete design-build contractor. When you work with Inspired Remodels, you get more than the services of a flooring contractor. You get one point of contract from the start of the design phase, through construction, down to the final post-construction clean-up.

Kitchen Remodeling Fall Inspiration

Fall in Orange County means football on TV, fewer tourists at the beach, and a drive to the mountains for leaf peeping. The change in season provides the perfect backdrop to refresh the home before the holidays. So, here’s a little inspiration for kitchen remodeling this fall.

Make a Splash with a Backsplash

A kitchen backsplash possesses the remarkable ability to transform the entire room and breathe new life into its design. This often-overlooked feature is not merely a protective barrier against splashes and stains but also a canvas for creativity and style. See how these backsplashes work magic in kitchen remodeling projects.

Update Kitchen Hardware

New cabinet hardware breathes new life into a kitchen, instantly transforming its overall look and feel. These small but impactful elements play a pivotal role in the kitchen’s aesthetic, functionality, and style.

Cabinet hardware serves as a visual focal point in the kitchen. It’s like jewelry that enhances an outfit. Selecting hardware that complements your kitchen’s design theme creates a cohesive and harmonious space. Change the choice of hardware and change the tone for the entire room.

Decorative Lighting

New decorative lighting in a kitchen remodeling makes a room more functional and visually appealing. Swap out decorative lighting for a fresh and rejuvenated look.

First and foremost, lighting fixtures can serve as the focal point of your kitchen’s design. Whether it’s a stunning alternative to traditional pendant lights above the kitchen island, a row of elegant sconces along the walls, or a unique chandelier, the choice of decorative lighting can set the tone and style for the entire space. Lighting becomes a statement piece, elevating the room’s overall aesthetics.
