Bathroom Remodeler Tips for an Awesome Bathroom

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Bathroom Remodeler Tips for an Awesome Bathroom

Spa. Sanctuary. Retreat. Everyone is looking for it, everyone is talking about it. But can you define it? What comes to mind when you think of your own bathroom getaway? The answer is different for different people. A great bathroom remodeler gets that and doesn’t push the same design on every person. So no matter what you want, Inspired Remodels has some tips and ideas to make sure that your new bathroom fits your definition of spa, sanctuary or retreat.

Think Differently About Dual Sinks

Just because you want two sinks, it doesn’t mean you must put them together. Traditionally, dual sinks in a master bath or large secondary bathroom were installed in the same vanity.

You might take a wall and install a 60″ or 72″ vanity and top it with a countertop with two sinks. So, even though you’ve got two sinks, you still have two people side by side. Inspired Remodels thinks about space differently.

In the design above, a beautiful soaking tub divides two separate single vanities. Now this is creative thinking. What the bathroom remodeler did was create a space for two people but each person not only has their own space, they really get the feeling of their own space. Each user has a separate:

  • sink
  • mirror
  • lighting
  • cabinet for storage

Even though the space is smaller, the concept is the same. Two people can use the space and still feel like they have their own individual place.

In addition, this set-up takes advantage of the walls to provide each person their own personal towel loop. No sharing sinks, no sharing mirrors, and you don’t even have to share a towel.

This set up would be perfect for teens or children of any age that are sharing a bathroom.

Plenty of room to get ready for school in the morning.

No room for squabbling.

Certainly makes for a smoother morning routine.

Would you be, could you be, won’t you be my neighbor. Mr. Roger’s song was about being a friend, but this design was all about getting friendly with wood.

Wait, except no one puts wood in a wet shower. But they do when the wood is actually tile. 

These days, porcelain and ceramic tiles are fashioned to emulate almost any wood. Some are so realistic they incorporate the feel of wood grain.

This time the bathroom remodeler finished the freestanding soaking tub with faux ceramic wood tile.

The same tile is used on the floor of the bathroom.

Notice the floor of the shower in the picture above? That stone look tile isn’t stone. It’s ceramic and the color was very carefully selected to coordinate with the cabinetry in the room.

The cabinets have very clean lines as do the marble vanity tops. That’s why the extra touch of molding at the baseboards doesn’t look over the top.

Instead it’s just a finishing touch.

Bathroom Remodel Company Creates Home Sanctuaries

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Bathroom Remodel Company Creates Home Sanctuaries

These days people are spending more time than ever at home. Whether you are working for home or confined under  a stay-at-home order, “home” has a whole new meaning. In Orange County, Inspired Remodels, a bathroom remodel company, is turning homes into sanctuaries.

The Concept of Sanctuary

A sanctuary is a place of refuge or safety. Traditionally, it is a holy place.  When you are threatened, fearful, or in danger, you turn to a sanctuary to protect you.

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the home has become a sanctuary. When the government tells you to shelter in place, it’s the place you want to be.

So, in a way, your home is already a sanctuary.

Why shouldn’t it feel like one?

Inspired Remodels believes that in all times (good and bad) your home is a place of refuge and every room should feel like a sanctuary, especially the bathroom.

Spa Sanctuary

Some bathrooms feel like a spa sanctuary. When you’ve had enough of flattening the curve, economic shutdown, and Dr. Fauchi it’s time to retreat.

Draw a hot or warm bath and soak. Relax surrounded by peaceful, neutral colors and finishes from nature.

While the current circumstances aren’t exactly what the bathroom remodel company had in mind when creating this bathroom, it was designed to be a place to relax and unwind. A refuge of a sort.  A bathroom sanctuary with a spa feel.

From the tile mosaic that starts as a backsplash and continues at chair rail height to add visual interest to the cool stone floors and vanity top, nature is all around you.

The soaking tub beckons you to slip off your clothes and slip into soothing, calming waters.

The simplicity of the shaker-style cabinetry and the clean lines of the dual mirrors complete the look.

Of course, the seashell accent finishes the look.

Who wouldn’t want to forget about viruses, face masks, and social distancing in this room?

Not looking for sanctuary in an Asian-inspired spa experience? How about an Italian escape? This bathroom remodel is heavily influenced by a rustic Roman aesthetic. 

Mix natural stone with man-made tile for contrast.   Use oiled bronze faucets to achieve a rustic farmhouse feel.

No simple shaker cabinetry here. This vanity is replete with moldings that border on Baroque. 

Frosted glass tempers the light in the room.

Close your eyes and you could be in Italy.

The craftsman’s attention to detail is clear in the shower. A simple space for performing routine hygiene is a work of art.  A niche provides convenience. The built-in bench beckons you to linger in this bathroom sanctuary.

Custom Cabinets for Orange County Remodels

By / Bathroom Remodel, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Custom Cabinets for Orange County Remodels

Nothing sets the tone of a room like the cabinetry. If you’re remodeling an Orange County kitchen or bathroom, the cabinet choice is a big decision.  The big box stores like Home Depot generally offer stock cabinets while the Ikea’s of the world sell ready-to-assemble cabinets. Choosing cabinets isn’t a conundrum. Semi-custom or custom cabinets offer maximum flexibility and value.

Schrock is part of the MasterBrand family of cabinet companies. This American-based company has been making cabinets since 1926. Beautiful, functional, and durable describe their product line.

Currently, you can pick from 3 lines: Entra, Trademark, and Boutique. The style and level of customization vary with the line. If simple, modern, or industrial describes your taste, the Trademark series is for you. If you need high customization or want an artisanal look, Boutique is for you. Entra features fresh and clean lines and is the perfect choice for Shaker-style cabinets.

Semi-custom cabinets are factory-built to your specifications based on stock sizes. This holds down the price, so they cost less than completely custom cabinets. Think of them as a mid-range choice. They make modifications to create cabinets that fit the space you need. Semi-custom cabinets provide you with a selection of fronts and finishes.

Omega Custom Cabinets is also a member of the MasterBrand family. They build custom cabinets in the United States. As true artisans, they take raw hardwood lumber and convert it into cabinetry to your exact specifications. They bring your custom cabinet ideas to life through the Pinnacle and Dynasty series platforms. Pinnacle provides inset and framed styling and Dynasty provides the ultimate in flexibility in design.

Because these are completely custom cabinets, the cost is higher than semi-custom cabinets. The lead time is much longer as well. But, you will get completely bespoke wooden cabinetry that will last almost as long as your house. No matter the shape of the room, your cabinets will fit.

Compare to Stock and Ready to Assemble with Custom

When you compare custom and semi-custom cabinets to stock or ready-to-assemble, the differences are clear. You may be able to get stock and ready-to-assemble cabinets quickly, but that is because they are mass-produced. If you need customization, you’re out of luck.

Stock and ready-to-assemble cabinets may be available very quickly, but custom work is worth the wait. Higher quality, more options, and greater satisfaction with the installed product.
