Orange County Kitchen Contractor Tips for a Great Kitchen

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Kitchen Contractor Tips for a Great Kitchen

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Orange County cooks are discovering if their recent kitchen renovations created beautiful kitchens or beautiful and functional kitchens. There’s a big difference! Inspired Remodels is the Orange County kitchen contractor that creates beautifully functional kitchens that look good and work smart. Learn what it takes to create a great kitchen no matter the size.

Oh, Say Can You See?

Whether it’s by the dawn’s early light or the middle of the night, you’ve got to be able to see what you’re doing in the kitchen.

This Irvine kitchen provides light in oh so many ways. There’s light from the recessed lights scattered throughout the room. And under the cabinet lights provide task lighting when prepping at the countertops. Globe lights hanging from the ceiling light the island and provide a decorative touch. Additional light could have been provided by additional can lights, but why go that route when you can go decorative instead?

This Mission Viejo kitchen remodel makes the most of natural light. Placing the kitchen by a window shows genius when it comes to design. Who doesn’t want a glimpse of the outside when washing a dish, rinsing greens, or grabbing a quick glass of water? Recessed lighting, can lights, and globe lights make an appearance, but appear completely different than in the Irvine job. A great kitchen begins with a great Orange County kitchen contractor that understands the importance of lighting.

Try on a Triangle

A truly functional kitchen makes use of the kitchen triangle to bring elements together in a usable design.

In this Foothills Ranch remodel, the Orange County kitchen contractor placed the sink, the stove/oven, and the refrigerator in a triangle pattern. This increases the efficiency of the cook’s actions. A simple pivot takes the cook from the sink to the cooktop (imagine putting a pot of water on for a boil). Just a few steps take the cook from the fridge to the sink or from the fridge to the stove.

Or what about this design? Two triangles really make this Trabuco Canyon kitchen remodel hum. The addition of the prep sink creates additional work triangles. Of course, the kitchen sink, fridge, and wall ovens create a third kitchen triangle. The more triangles you create, the more functional your kitchen.  Come time to prepare a big meal, you’ll be thankful.

Interior Remodeling with Fireplaces? Yes, Please!

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Interior Remodeling with Fireplaces? Yes, Please!

Cozy time is coming! Our Orange County climate offers cool nights, perfect for cuddling up to a fireplace. Whether you want a functional fireplace for heat or just looking to add ambiance, Inspired Remodels never forgets the fireplace when interior remodeling.

Irvine interior remodel converts fireplace to electric

Surrounded by Design

Too often the fireplace mantle and hearth get all the design love. But this Irvine interior remodeling forgoes both. Instead, of a traditional mantle, wood molding takes its place. The result is clean and classic as a Roman column. While there’s still space to display a few items, the molding combination is the real design element.  And instead of a traditional hearth, the flooring comes right up to the fireplace front. When you aren’t burning wood, there’s no need to worry about embers.  Because the hearth protects from embers, when you get rid of the embers you eliminate the need for a hearth. A herringbone tile front finishes the look.

And that raised hearth really elevates this fireplace. Literally and figuratively. Inside or out, there’s no need for a fireplace to be at floor level.

This rustic, wood-burning fireplace also features a raised hearth. The look of stacked stone is perfect for French Country or Mission-inspired interior remodeling projects. And once again, molding takes the place of a traditional hearth.

Interior Remodeling Updates Fireplaces Too!

Maybe you have a fireplace you feel doesn’t fit your sense of style. Or maybe it’s time to update your fireplace. Yes, that’s right – update your fireplace.

Inspired Remodels not only installs fireplaces but can also completely change the look of your existing fireplace. By adding moldings, changing the hearth, or refacing the fireplace your fireplace will be completely transformed.

In this fireplace, a light-colored stacked stone front provides a more modern look. The more traditional mantle gets a facelift with additional molding. And, everyone looks better with a new coat of paint.  This fireplace is ready to keep homeowners feeling the love for years to come.

This fireplace received a similar treatment. New stacked stone, an updated hearth, and fresh moldings and paint complete the look. The fireplace now serves as a focal point for the room, not a tired eyesore.

Sometimes that fireplace gets lonely. This interior remodeling project added custom cabinets on both sides of the fireplace. The entire wall makes a statement. Rustic stacked stone pairs perfectly with the simplicity of the Shaker-inspired cabinet doors. It’s a design that beckons you to take a book from the shelf and curl up in the chair and enjoy a fire.

5 Amazing Bathroom Remodels – 1 Orange County Bathroom Contractor

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on 5 Amazing Bathroom Remodels – 1 Orange County Bathroom Contractor

Inspired Remodels creates amazing bathrooms to suit any style or taste. It’s easy for an Orange County bathroom contractor to fall into a rut, same design over and over again. Not so with Inspired Remodels. No two homeowners are the same. So, no two bathroom remodels should be the same either. Here’s a peek at the variety of work that’s happening in Orange County bathrooms.

Ladera Ranch Master Bath

A well-functioning bathroom begins with careful consideration of who will use the space and how the room will be used. In this case, the “master” bath serves the master and the lady of the house as well.  Dual sinks, a double vanity, two mirrors, a shower, and a soaking tub meet the needs of both. With Inspired Remodels, you get more than an Orange County bathroom contractor, you get a bathroom designer as well. And because function forms design, the resulting room looks great and works wonderfully as well.

The built-in bench is perfect for personal grooming or just sitting and taking in the steam. The beautiful gray river rock reflects the natural beauty of the Ladera Ranch community. Not only does it bring interest to the shower floor, but it turns the niche from a functional storage spot to a focal point.

The simplistic but elegant look of the shower extends to the dual sinks and vanity. Here you find plenty of space, lighting, and storage to accommodate two people. Whether getting ready to go to the office, attend the next Zoom call, or enjoy a night on the town, two will never be a crowd in this bathroom.

Lighting Up Laguna Niguel

When you don’t have much space, an Orange County bathroom contractor must pull out all the tricks for making a small space look large.

Inspired Remodels knows that light is key to opening up a space. This Laguna Niguel bathroom remodel combines strong natural light and reflective surfaces to trick the eye into seeing space as larger than life.

By placing the vanity near a window, you maximize the use of natural light. White makes everything look larger. So, white cabinets and a white vanity open the room up. White tiles on the accent wall reflect light back making the appearance of even more space.

Of course, the show stopper is the door. Notice how the shape of the tile is duplicated on the design of the door? When one element of a room flows to the next, it flawlessly brings the eye with it. Everything appears just a bit larger than life.

Mixing, Matching, and Making it Real

Inspired Remodels is the Orange County bathroom contractor that’s not afraid to mix things up when a homeowner wants that special eclectic look.

Who says cabinet hardware and faucets must be matchy matchy? Not this homeowner and Inspired Remodels agrees. The black accents provided by the black cabinet and drawer hardware perfectly complement the tile floor. The sink faucet finish and the door hardware work with the color palette beautifully. This room would be boring with a faucet, door handle, and cabinet hardware that matched. A floor tile this amazing deserves an amazing supporting cast.

 And finally, something completely different. The beauty of stacked stone, the elegance of ebony cabinets and mirrors create a bathroom filled with serenity.
