Lighted Mirrors

Savvy local home remodeling contractors are always looking for ways to do something just a little bit better than the competition. As a result, homeowners get unique takes on even the simplest things – like task lighting.

These bathroom mirrors incorporate lighting so you see clearly any time of day or night.

Bathroom vanities and sinks are really workstations for personal grooming. Good lighting is essential for this task. Inspired Remodels incorporates lights in and behind mirrors so you see perfectly.

Backlighting makes these already sensational mirrors a real standout.

Inspired Remodels matches your needs and lifestyle with the most modern conveniences so you end up with a bathroom you’ll fall in love with every time you walk in the room.

Unique Tubs

Remember those garden tubs that consumed an enormous amount of space in the bathroom? Local bathroom contractors find they are removing these space hogs and installing traditional and soaking tubs in their stead.

Inspired Remodels incorporates elements of design in every tub they install. From out-of-the-ordinary shapes that still save space to filling hardware that’s just as at home in a museum of design as it is in the bathroom.

This San Clemente bathroom remodel places the soaking tub between dual vanities to maximize the space. Lovely, right?

Colors from Nature

In 2023, people continue to yearn for nature and more simplified and less stressful life. Local home remodeling contractors are drawing on the natural beauty of Orange County for inspiration.

Colors from nature range from beautiful blues to soothing greys and neutral tones like tan.

Add color through the use of well-appointed cabinetry, hardware, and flooring. Even walls can get into the act.

Nothing is more natural than wood, and nothing spells disaster like wood floors in a bathroom. Inspired Remodels provides the serenity of wood without the hassle by using wood-look ceramic and porcelain tile in the bathroom.

In this bathroom, Inspired Remodels brings together the look and feel of nature to every surface.

Tile on Walls

2023 will be a year where tile expands from the bathroom floor to the walls. Tile isn’t just for the shower stall anymore.

Gorgeous terrazzo, beautiful marble, and a wide array of ceramic and porcelain in an incredible variety of shapes, colors, and texture grace the walls of the most discriminating homeowners.

This Mission Viejo bathroom remodel incorporates stone and tile on the walls for a rustic yet sophisticated look.

Orange County General Contractors in the Bathroom

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Wonder what your neighbors are up to in the bathroom? No, no that! Inspired Remodels, local Orange County general contractors, has been busy creating some beautiful and functional bathrooms.

Here is a look at some awesome Orange County bathroom remodels completed by Inspired Remodels.

Simply Elegant Retreat in Newport Beach

What do you consider elegant?

The dictionary says it is “pleasingly graceful and stylish”. A photo of this Newport Beach bathroom remodel should be included.

The seating is perfect for hair and makeup. Even the nature-inspired textiles on the vanity seat contribute to the simple and elegant vibe.

This bathroom remodel puts a focus on usability too. The double sinks, triple mirrors, and ample light create a room that’s as functional as it is beautifully elegant. Natural light from the windows, recessed lighting, and decorative lighting brighten the space.

The simplicity of clean Shaker cabinet lines always provides a touch of elegance.

San Clemente Sanctuary

This master bathroom is a sanctuary to escape the craziness of the world. When you work from home, it’s especially nice to have a bathroom that’s spacious, light, and serene.

Zoom fatigue is a real thing. All those video calls that allow us to work from home involve more mental processing than in-person meetings. We must work harder to process those important non-verbal cues such as facial expressions and body language that are key to effective communication.

Set your mental state to positive when you start in a bathroom with a serene vibe. This bathroom provides enough room for two people with no crowding.

With all the storage, there’s no stress looking for what you need.

Then when the last video chat comes to an end soak your cares away. When you work with Orange County general contractors that design and build, your project runs smoother. Ask Inspired Remodels about how their design/build workflow reduces the stress inherent in bathroom remodeling.

Rancho Santa Margarita Spa

This Orange County bathroom remodel creates an in-home spa.

Neutral colors set the tone. White quartz countertops tie together ebony lower cabinets and white uppers. The dual tones work because the Shaker lines stay consistent.

No spa is complete without a sauna. Not only does this Santa Margarita bathroom remodel add a soaking tub, it adds a sauna too.

The Orange County General Contractors That Deliver

Good things come to those that wait. Inspired Remodels doesn’t run hundreds of crews. They focus on fewer projects at a time so every client gets personal attention.

They might not get to your project as quickly as another contractor, but once work starts, you’ll be glad you waited.

Talk to Inspired Remodels about your bathroom remodel dreams and find out how you can make them come true.

Orange County Flooring Contractor Explains the Differences in Wood Flooring

Nothing beats the warmth and richness of a wood floor. But wood flooring doesn’t fit every room and it certainly doesn’t fit every budget. If you need to buy new flooring and like the look of wood, Inspired Remodels wants you to understand the options you have for wood flooring. That’s why this Orange County flooring contractor put together this guide to the options for wood flooring.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring made from natural hardwood is the first flooring that comes to mind when most people think of hardwood flooring. It offers durability and can be refinished. It is the most expensive but offers the longest wear.

What is it?

Hardwood flooring consists of planks of wood that may come finished or unfinished. The wood comes from slow growing trees that create dense wood fibers. Generally, oak, maple, or hickory trees grow the flooring, which is then finished to emulate any other wood.

How is it available?

Hardwood flooring comes in planks of various widths. Strip planks run 2” to 3” wide while wide planks begin at about 5” in width. Generally, use smaller planks in smaller rooms and wider planks in larger rooms.

How is it installed?

Because wood absorbs moisture, always acclimate the product in the room in which it will be installed for several days.

Then the flooring goes down on the appropriate subfloor and is attached with glue or nails.

Where to use it?

Use hardwood flooring above grade in any room that doesn’t use water. Water ruins hardwood flooring so don’t put it in bathrooms and think twice about installing it in kitchens.

Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is harvested from fast-growing bamboo plants. The bamboo plant belongs to the grass family and is not really a tree. But bamboo ranks higher on the Janka Hardness Scale than many hardwoods like oak.

How is it available

Like hardwood flooring, bamboo flooring comes in planks. The planks run generally anywhere from 3” to 8” wide. Like hardwood flooring, the planks come in different lengths. Bamboo options include solid bamboo or strand woven bamboo.

How is it installed

Like hardwood, bamboo flooring must be acclimated before installation. Depending on the construction of the planks, they may be nailed down or glued down. Because bamboo is so hard, special nail guns must be used to nail the planks in place.

Where to use it

Install bamboo above grade in dry areas. Like hardwood, you won’t want to install bamboo in rooms with water. Also, because you can’t finish bamboo as many times as solid hardwood planks, you don’t want to put bamboo in high-traffic entryways or hallways.

Laminated/Engineered Wood Flooring

Laminate wood flooring is still wood flooring, it just isn’t solid wood flooring. This option is great for rooms below grade where solid wood can’t be installed. You’ll find laminate also referred to as engineered wood flooring. A layer of solid wood is laminated to a layer of plywood. It is much more economical than bamboo or solid hardwood flooring.

How is it available

Engineered flooring comes in planks of various widths and lengths. Because it is used in place of solid hardwood, it follows hardwood flooring trends in plank width and finishes.

How is it installed

A click-lock system allows engineered and laminated wood flooring to float over padding. You can install engineered wood over cement. There’s no need to glue or nail the planks in place. This reduces the labor required for installation too.

Where to use it

Laminated and engineered flooring goes in any room you want. Water isn’t a problem when the planks are properly installed. Put this flooring below grade without worry. Check with the flooring manufacturer before installing over radiant-heated floors.

Wood Look Porcelain Flooring

Everyone loves the spa feel of wood in a bathroom. But water and wood just don’t go together. Enter porcelain tile created to emulate wood. This tile is often indistinguishable from wood flooring by look alone. As you can see, this Orange County flooring contractor creates spa experiences without wood.

How is it available

Wood-look porcelain flooring is available in tile lengths that emulate wood planks. You’ll find the plank widths in the most common hardwood plank sizes as well. So as hardwood plank trends come and go, wood look porcelain flooring trends go with them.

How is it installed

This flooring installs differently from wood because it isn’t wood at all. The tiles are first secured to the backer board with mortar. They may be spaced apart or butted together. Any gaps between tiles are filled with grout.

Where to use it

You can literally use wood look porcelain tile in any room in your house. However, keep in mind that because it is tile, it will be harder underfoot than other wood flooring options.
