Orange County Bathroom Renovation Company Says Frame-less Is Here to Stay

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Bathroom Renovation Company Says Frame-less Is Here to Stay

The all-glass, frame-less shower shows up in bathrooms all over Orange County. According to the pros at Inspired Remodels, an Orange County bathroom renovation company, this look lasts. Frame-less showers make small bathrooms look larger. They increase the amount of light in the room and almost make the shower disappear.

Loving it in Ladera Ranch

This Ladera Ranch homeowner loves the new frame-less shower in the master bathroom. With no frame to create a visible line, the eye doesn’t perceive the glass as a wall or partition. Thus, the room looks automatically larger than if a traditional shower frame were used.

Magic!

A shower this luxurious deserves a rain shower head. So, that’s what this shower gets. Ladera Ranch boasts over 1,600 acres of open space. The residents love the feel of open spaces, and Inspired Remodels makes sure they keep that loving feeling when they come inside.

Costa Mesa Creativity

Frame-less glass showers show up in Costa Mesa too. And here’s a dirty little secret about frame-less glass no one talks about – it is actually easier to keep clean!

This Costa Mesa bathroom says goodbye to the nooks and crannies created by frames. Banish all the places soap scum can hide and make your bathroom cleaning a breeze. And this shower style never hides decorative tile. When you’ve got wall tile that’s making waves in the design world, don’t hesitate to flaunt it.

That’s exactly what this style of shower does.

The creative lighting works in tandem with the frame-less shower to brighten up a room that has limited natural light. Your eyes flow naturally from the lines of the tub to the tile inside the shower. No breaks, just endless waves of delight.

Aliso Viejo Mini Spa

Now let’s wrap up with a little spa treatment in Aliso Viejo.

The only way this mini spa retreat could ever work would be with frame-less glass. And Inspired Remodels is the Orange County bathroom renovation company up to the task. Frame-less showers require the glass to be custom cut. Inspired Remodels measures over and over again to make sure your glass is properly sized.

Because all glass is custom, Inspired Remodels created a space where the built-in bench is both inside and outside the shower. This maximizes the square footage in a small space.

Residential Remodeling Contractors Get Creative with Tile Backsplashes

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Residential Remodeling Contractors Get Creative with Tile Backsplashes

Where some residential remodeling contractors in Orange County see a bare space to paint, Inspired Remodels sees a design opportunity. With so many options available, kitchen backsplashes deserve more than a coat of paint. Backsplashes provide a space to personalize, dramatize, and get creative.

See what these contractors have been up to in Orange County kitchens.

A Study in Contrasts

Who said you can’t have contrasting tile on your backsplash? Tell them they are wrong.

This kitchen clearly reflects the results achieved when solid white subway tile gets a little design assist with contrasting decorative tile.

And it’s a complete work. So, you get the impact of mosaic design using fewer tiles and less grout.

The soft grey provides a complementary accent that pairs perfectly with the stainless steel finishes on the stove and other kitchen appliances. Notice how the stainless pot filler almost fades away?

At the same time, deep maroon tones playfully pick up the color from the stove knobs.

Talk about remodeling contractors that think of every little detail!

This kitchen would have been light, airy, and run-of-the-mill if the entire backsplash had been white.

But Inspired Remodels added drama and a touch as unique as the homeowner’s fingerprint to this kitchen. All with a little contrasting tile. Amazing!

A Study in Elegance

All while can be boring, But white done right is simply elegant. Jolly trim tile creates the frame while delicately etched tiles paint the picture. And it’s all done against a stunning white subway tile in this absolutely fabulous Laguna Hills kitchen remodel.

But all white isn’t the only way to achieve kitchen elegance.

Inspired Remodels added reflective tile to this backsplash to make the room appear larger and the result was entirely elegant.

As light dances off reflective tiles, it adds elegance with its sparkle and shimmer. Like the perfect piece of jewelry accessorizes an outfit, just the right decorative tile accessorizes the kitchen.

It keeps the dark countertops from overpowering the room and adds a bit of visual interest to an area that is generally boring, the backsplash behind the stovetop.

Now, because this glamour comes from tile, no splatter or spatter can break its stride. You get an easy-to-clean surface that will stay looking great for years. Now, you know you can’t say the same for a painted surface. Tile is simply superior.

Orange County Kitchen Remodel Planner

A complete kitchen remodel represents a major investment of money and time spent without a kitchen. You don’t want to screw this up! If a new kitchen is on the horizon, take the time to lay the groundwork. Utilize online and offline kitchen remodel planner tools to make the most of your space and budget.

Start with Your Present Position

The longest trip starts with the first step. And before you go anywhere you must know your current location. A kitchen remodel is no different.

Start by drawing, either on paper or on the computer, a scale rendering of your existing kitchen. Be sure to notate elements such as electrical outlets, light switches, plumbing, HVAC and heating vents, windows, and doors.

Now, create a list of the things you dislike most about your kitchen. Is it lacking space or too dark? Do you feel it’s a Brady Bunch kitchen straight from the ’60s?

Get it all out! Begin the purge of those kitchen demons by identifying them.

Start Dreaming

Now that you’ve taken a cold, hard look at your present situation it’s time to dream. Create your wish list.

When you think about what you want in a kitchen remodel, identify broad goals first. These can be:

  • More storage
  • Room for an island
  • Eat-in area
  • Display cabinets
  • Better lighting
  • Additional prep areas

You know you’re on the right track when your wish list goals address those demons identified in step one of your kitchen remodel planner.

Now is the time to create your lookbook. This can literally be a binder or folder with clippings of kitchens that appeal to you or a special Pinterest board. When you see something appealing, save it, and determine what it is about the look that appeals to you. Is it the cabinet style or are there certain colors, finishes, or textures that appeal to you?

Not sure where to start? Stop by the Inspired Remodels showroom. Get inspiration from the pros who know what it takes to turn kitchen dreams into real dream kitchens.
