Orange County Flooring Contractor Shares 3 Ways Hard Floors are Better

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Orange County Flooring Contractor Shares 3 Ways Hard Floors are Better

Flooring for your home represents a significant financial outlay. Anytime you spend that much money, you want to know you are getting the best product for your home and health. So what floors are the best? Hard flooring in any form is the healthiest choice. Inspired Remodels, a popular Orange County flooring contractor shares why hard floors make the healthiest homes.

A cat and carpet together are not a good idea

Reason 1 – Hard Flooring Reduces Allergens

Hard floors make healthier floors because they reduce the number of allergens in your home. Place carpets and rugs on your floors and install allergen magnets.

Textile flooring collects dust, pollen, molds, dust, dust mites, and pet allergens. Then, each time a person walks on the carpet or rug, their feet send a cloud of allergens up into the air. Even if you run HEPA air cleaners, you aren’t going to collect all the allergens.

And these days, everybody is concerned about health.

Wood, stone, and tile flooring refuse to collect allergens. They just won’t do it. That’s because they are easy to clean. This leads us to reason number 2.

Reason 2 – Hard Flooring is Easy to Keep Clean

Hard floors provide no place for dirt or allergens to hide. Unlike textile flooring with fibers, nooks, and crannies, hard flooring offers a smooth surface.

Whether you vacuum or damp mop, you’ll remove the dirt. Where vacuuming carpets sends dust flying, vacuuming hard floors with a horsehair brush dislodges dust without making it airborne.

Carpeting represents multiple layers of textiles. Not only does the carpet collect dirt, but dirt falls between the fibers to the padding underneath. Face it, you are never going to clean that padding. You can pay someone to clean your carpet, but it won’t really be clean. And, the padding stays dirty.

Clean a wood, tile, or stone floor and it is really clean. And it will stay clean longer provided you remove your shoes before coming inside.

Reason 3 – Hard Flooring Improves Planet Health

For the most part, textile flooring comes from synthetic materials. These materials are carbon-based. Oil and minerals are extracted, refined, processed, and spun to create fibers. It consumes vasts amounts of energy and isn’t renewable.

Compare that with bamboo flooring. Bamboo flooring provides the most eco-friendly option in hard flooring. Any Orange County flooring contractor in the know knows that bamboo beats other hardwoods when it comes to hardness. Bamboo harvested from managed farms renews in 5 to 7 years. You can’t say that for an oak tree.

Ceramic tile is also eco-friendly. Yes, it is mined but unlike carpet, ceramic lasts up to 50 years. So you enjoy many years of use when compared to carpeting or other textile floorings that must be continually replaced.

Orange County Interior Remodeling Company Works Outdoors Too

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Orange County Interior Remodeling Company Works Outdoors Too

COVID-19 has everyone in California staying home. Inspired Remodels is the Orange County interior remodeling company upping the look of kitchens, baths, and fireplaces all over SoCal. Now, Inspired Remodels provides exterior design and installation services too. From covered patios and kitchens to little touches like fans and lighting, Inspired Remodels knows what it takes to create a comfortable and desirable outdoor space.

Fantastic Outdoor Living in Foothill Ranch

Foothill Ranch embraces the outdoors. With its proximity to Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park and the Luge Mountain Biking Trails, not the mention Limestone Canyon Park (whoops! did mention it) people who love the outdoors feel drawn to this area.

It’s only natural for Foothill Ranchers to want a great outdoor space at home. Inspired Remodels performs amazing transformations inside, but they work outside as well. They are the Orange County interior remodeling company that is just at home in the great outdoors.

Just take a look at this fabulous dining area and outdoor kitchen. To start with, the stacked stone perfectly matches the natural environment.

Now having a big screen TV outdoors is perfect for watching the USC game or the Rose Bowl, but it still rains in Southern California. And when it does, it pours. Not a great environment for sophisticated electronic equipment.

But this isn’t a challenge for Inspired Remodels. This Orange County interior remodeling company thinks outside the box. The answer creates a means to mechanically lift the screen out of the island for viewing and then store it safely away from the elements when not in use.

Pure Genius!

Mission Viejo Masterpiece

What better way to knock back the night chill than with a little fire. Inspired Remodels creates truly inspired fireplaces indoors, and their outdoor fireplaces are truly spectacular.

Take bricks and create a privacy wall. Next, add wrought iron fencing for the deck railing. Tile the floor with stone and use stacked stone for the fireplace. Using a gas insert means you never chop wood or haul ashes. No risk of a stray ember starting a fire either.

Now here’s something different in Mission Viejo. Inspired Remodels created an entire living and dining area outside!

Who wants to be in when you can sit at the marble bar, eat at the trestle table, or lounge by the pool? This outdoor area smoothly transitions indoors as the two spaces become one.

Orange County Remodeling Contractor Simplifies Interior Design

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Remodeling Contractor Simplifies Interior Design

Inspired Remodels, the premier Orange County remodeling contractor, creates stunning interiors. Interiors that show simplicity is often the most stunning element of design.

Simplicity in the Bathroom

You just can’t beat the simplicity of white subway tile in a bathroom. Go ahead, try.

This Mission Viejo bathroom gets a stunning makeover with simple white subway tile. Now, simply contrast the white with black and increase the wow and simply gorgeous factor. Next, pop a little interest in the niche with geometric designs.

That’s how you achieve a stunning design with simplicity. Black and white top the list of most important elements of simple design, but that doesn’t mean they are boring. Orange County remodeling contractor uses black and white to create simple but elegant bathroom designs

 

Check out how white and black come together for another simple and stunning bathroom look. This time marble steals the show.

 

Black marble tile adds visual interest with white veining. Is there anything simpler than black marble?

Add Shaker-style cabinets and add another layer of simplicity. Shaker-style cabinetry features clean lines and avoids fussiness at all costs. Whether you decide to use Shaker cabinets in the bathroom or kitchen, you’ll find they work and play well with other elements. Why? Because of their simplicity of course.

Simplicity in the Kitchen

Once again, black and white reign supreme when it comes to simple elegance. There’s no fussiness in this room. Cool, clean neutral tones and straight lines set the stage. As a result, the simple curve from the goose-neck faucet at the large sink is almost breathtaking. The same applies to the curved handles on the refrigerator. Straight-rod style handles might have been functional, but they wouldn’t have worked as well.

Now, look at the gentle curve of the crown molding. Simply stunning.

That’s just another example of Inspired Remodel’s keen eye for detail. No element goes unnoticed when they create jaw-droppingly simply elegant and functional designs.

And just because you want a clean and simple design doesn’t mean you must use black and white.

On the contrary. Inspired Remodels used tones from the Earth in this kitchen. Tan quartz countertops, mossy and grassy green tiles for the backsplash, and the orange of a brilliant sunset are the artist’s palette in this room.

Notice the Shaker cabinets? But this time, the cabinet hardware is round. Drawer pulls offer a half-moon design that’s easy to grip and pull and circular knobs complete the look. Hardware plays an important role in kitchen design. Too often, it’s overlooked. But not when Inspired Remodels is on the job!
