Bathroom Remodel Company Shares Trends for 2019

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

A bathroom remodel continues to be one of the most popular home remodeling projects. It’s not generally a DIY project. It’s best to hire a bathroom remodel company or general contractor with extensive bathroom remodel experience. Inspired Remodels is not only a leading bathroom remodel company and general contractor, they constantly scan the horizon for new trends in design. Here’s what’s popular in 2019.

Sink Trends

Vessel sinks were once the purview of bars and high-end restaurants. No more. Vessel sinks are showing up in bathrooms all over Orange County.

Vessel sinks provide more options in sink design. You can get quite creative with faucets too. Use vessel sinks to add a high-end look to your bathroom remodel.

Undermount sinks started in the kitchen but have migrated to the bathroom. Their simple design makes them easy to keep clean. That’s important if the bathroom is a high-usage room.

These dual undermount sinks are spacious with clean lines. Hair, soap, and other grooming debris can’t be trapped in grooves because there aren’t any. Simply wipe the counters and sinks down to keep them clean.

Similar to the undermount sink is the integrated sink. This option is only possible if you are replacing countertops and sinks at the same time.

The sink and countertop are one piece. This is popular for guest baths, half baths, and small bathrooms.

Shower Trends

An up and coming trend we touched on a few weeks ago is the tub in the shower installation. This bathroom remodel trend creates a large but contained wet area for the shower and a free standing soaking tub. Look for more of this in 2019.

This recent bathroom remodel incorporates two popular trends. Not only do you have the tub in the shower, but you have dual showers. This shower combines rainshowers with handheld showers to meet all your shower needs.

Want a spa experience without taking up the space of a jetted tub? Then add a vertical spa to your bathroom remodel wishlist.

Moen is just one of several manufacturers to create the equipment you need for a vertical spa. Just pick your controls, jets, and shower heads and Inspired Remodels will do the rest.

The vertical spa is a space saver. It provides the same water massage therapy in a much smaller design. No need for a separate, bulky tub.

If you want to squeeze as much luxury as possible out of your bathroom remodel, consider the vertical spa.

Of course providing a place for those grooming products is still necessary. That’s why niches will continue to be popular in 2019. These storage spots are built-into the shower and will keep shampoo, conditioner, shave cream and other personal care items at your fingertips. Because of their popularity and practicality, don’t expect this trend to fade any time soon.

Niches continue to provide a medium for creativity with tile and stone as well.

Kitchen Renovation Trends For Orange County Kitchen Remodels

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Hemlines go up and down. Facial hair goes in and out of style. Interior design is subject to trends as well. If you plan a kitchen renovation this year, you may want to pay attention to these trends.

Mixed Metals

Metals are getting mixy-matchy for 2019. The days of stainless appliances and brushed nickle faucets are over. Chrome is making a comeback and fits in well with industrial, modern and classic decor.

How many metals do you see in this photo?

The metal pulls and knobs on your cabinets don’t need to match your faucet either. Or your appliances. Pulls and knobs are one of the hottest ways to get a grip on this kitchen renovation trend for 2019. Not ready to tackle the entire room? You can get a fresh look by just updating the cabinet hardware. If you can handle a screwdriver, you can handle this DIY task.

You don’t need black appliances for your cabinets to rock this black hardware. Mix and match your metals for maximum contrast.

Quartz Countertops

Nothing says 1990 through the early 2000’s as granite. Granite in the kitchen, granite in the bathroom, granite almost everywhere but the garage floor. It time to say goodbye to granite and hello to quartz.

Bye bye Granite

Quartz is a much harder surface. That makes it much more well suited for the kitchen. Unlike porous granite that can harbor bacteria, quartz doesn’t need sealing.

Clean lines, cool colors, and plays well with a variety of finishes. It’s also perfectly suited for undermount sinks. Not every counter material can make that boast.

Where granite was once a sign of luxury, by the end of the year it may be considered quaint and old-fashioned.

Evoking Emotion

Just because kitchens are workrooms, doesn’t mean they need to be devoid of warmth, feeling, and emotion. Stark white and tone-on-tone are on the way out. Colors, lighting, and finishes that evoke emotion and a sense of warmth and home are in for 2019.

This Lake Forest kitchen renovation uses bold tile, two tone cabinets, and warm wood to make any cook feel right at home here. Instead of white lower cabinets, a warm tone wood finish evokes a feeling of comfort. Graphic tile on the accent wall gives the room a sense a personality while seamlessly flowing into the neutral tone subway tile backsplash. Of course quartz countertops fit right in with this design. By the way, notice the use of mixed metals. This kitchen embodies all the hottest kitchen renovation trends for 2019 and will look stylish for years to come.

Fresh Shower Remodel Idea: Tub in Shower

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Looking to get the most of your shower remodel? Take a look at this year’s hottest trend: the freestanding tub in the shower. It actually saves room and maintenance time and money. Here’s why:

Shower Remodel Creates a Wet Room

So tubs and showers both require water. And the people that use them tend to get this water everywhere. Water is necessary in the bathroom. That means controlling water is necessary too.

By placing your freestanding tub in an enclosed shower, you create a “wet” room. Behind the glass, water can flow freely. Whether its in the tub or shower. When you step out of the tub, you are still in a “wet” area. When you turn off the shower, you are still in the “wet” area.

You don’t leave the “wet” area until you are ready to be dry. These wet areas are not only practical, they give the space a real spa-like feel.

This Aliso Viejo shower remodel created a luxurious wet area that keeps the water contained. Dual shower areas and a freestanding tub accommodate a variety of bathing preferences. From rain shower to a good long soak, the owner’s can indulge without creating a flood. They can even give the kids the splashiest of baths without water worries. Nice.

Simplified Design Saves

A shower remodel that puts the tub in the shower can actually simplify the design. You may even find that you save money. A dedicated wet area creates more of a blank slate. Get more flexibility in placing fixtures. Flexibility usually makes plumbing easier and less costly. You may find that a shower door isn’t necessary. Simplified glass design reduces glass costs.

When you create dry areas in the wet area, you get everything you need at your fingertips. Now that is a simplified design for simplified use. This towel bar is installed inside the wet area. It’s location will keep towels dry, keep them easily accessible and free up wall space in the dry area.

Maximize Dry Areas

By utilizing the “wet area” concept in this bathroom remodel, it was easier to maximize the use of the remaining dry area. Double sinks were easier to install. Instead of one large double sink vanity, the His and Her concept is pulled off with two single sinks on opposite walls.

Two people can easily use the sinks at the same time without creating a traffic jam. This bathroom remodel created a space that is beautiful and performs beautifully as well. Isn’t that what you want in a bathroom?
