Inspired Bathrooms

What’s your pleasure? Coastal living vibes, spa-serenity, or owner retreat?
One kitchen and bath contractor delivers functional spaces that look great. That’s Inspired Remodels.
Check out these bathroom remodel projects.

Before the malls, before the subdivisions, the ranch dominated the scene. Warm wood cabinets, neutral-tone floors, white countertops, and lots of light make this bathroom shine – literally.

A full-length, wall-mounted mirror serves two purposes. First, mirrors reflect light and make small spaces appear much larger. Second, who doesn’t love a full peek in the mirror before stepping out for the day?

If you tell your kitchen and bath contractor you want a spa vibe, will they deliver luxury like this?  Dark hex tile on the floor sets the stage for a soothing mood in the room. A Japanese-style soaking tub lets you say, “Calgon, take all my stress away”. Dual hand-held showers and rain showers drench your body and quench your desire for pampering. Neutral subway tile with a matte finish in the shower and on the accent wall continues the serene vibe of the room. And talk about attention to detail, just note how the pattern on the accent tile on the shower floor duplicates the shape of the floor tile. Add simple natural wood Shaker cabinets and dark hardware and you complete the spa feel to this room. A real owner’s retreat at the end of the day and the perfect place to start each day too!

Inspired Kitchens

Kitchens must reflect the personality and lifestyle of the homeowner. The needs of a busy family differ from the needs of a single gourmet cook or a couple that entertains regularly. A good kitchen and bath contractor understands that a kitchen must look good and work smoothly.

Check out these inspired kitchen remodels.

Orange County Flooring Contractor Gives 3 Reasons to Love Hard Floors

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Flooring Contractor Gives 3 Reasons to Love Hard Floors
This article was originally published on April 8, 2016. It has been updated to reflect the most current trends in Orange County flooring.

Wood, wood-look tiles, and bamboo flooring continue to be trendy.  Designers and homeowners love the way wood and bamboo flooring bring warmth to any room.  If you ask a flooring contractor, they will tell you the benefits of hard surface floors for almost any home.  Inspired Remodels, the expert flooring contractor in Orange County, shares 3 reasons to love hard surface flooring.

Hard Flooring For Better Health

Hard surface flooring offers health benefits you just can’t ignore.  Every flooring contractor knows carpeting harbors dust, dust mites, pet allergens, mold spores, and pollen.  These substances comprise the most common household allergens. So, why would you ever put them in a house where people with allergies live?  Many companies offer products and surfaces to clean carpets. But no method or product can properly clean the carpet to the backing and remove allergens.  Most carpet cleaning methods end up making allergies worse as they leave carpets and rugs damp and promote the growth of mold.

When you clean a hard surface floor, it is clean.  While you might get mold growth in the grout between tiles (especially in a badly designed bathroom with poor circulation) mold will not grow on the tile itself.   Vacuuming, damp mopping, and dry mopping remove dirt, debris, and allergens from a hard surface floor. Cleaner floors result in better indoor air quality, fewer allergies, and better health.

Ceramic and porcelain tile made to emulate wood creates a spa-like feeling to Orange County bathrooms. It looks like wood, some tiles even emulate the texture of wood grain, and only you will know its tile.

Hard Flooring is Easy to Maintain

Hard surface flooring such as wood, tile, polished cement, or stone is relatively easy to maintain.  It resists stains. You can track in dirt and debris and it can be easily removed by cleaning.

Spill wine on your tile floor and it wipes up.  No one cries over milk spilled on a wood, tile, or stone floor. Kitchens across Orange County cry out for hard surface floors!

With carpeting and rugs, you cry over every spill, every stain, and every footstep that dirties the surface.  Not so with hard surface flooring.

Flooring Contractors Know Tile & Wood Flooring Lasts

When you hire a reputable Orange County flooring contractor like Inspired Remodels to install your floors, you know your flooring will last.  Wood and bamboo flooring require acclimation before installation. If your flooring contractor skips this step, prepare for problems. That’s never a worry with Inspired Remodels.

With proper care and cleaning, your tile and stone floors last for 20 years or more.  When wood floors become scuffed, scarred, and worn-looking, simply refinish them.

Can any carpet stand up to 20 years of daily use?  When it looks bad, can you refinish your carpet?

No, of course not! When you consider higher initial cost over a much longer life, you’ll agree with flooring contractors that hard surface flooring provides a cost-effective option.

Orange County General Contractors Create Fireplaces with Flare

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement / Comments Off on Orange County General Contractors Create Fireplaces with Flare

Does the thought of fall and cooler temperatures have you dreaming of curling up by the fireplace? Fireplaces add an unmistakable warmth to any room. Today’s fireplaces complement rather than dominate a room.  That’s because modern fireplaces no longer act as a home’s main source of heat. Check out what happens when one set of Orange County general contractors play around with fire. The results are fabulous.

Old World Charm in Modern Home

This room received a total makeover. It’s easy to imagine yourself in a pub in any town in Ireland (or the rest of the European continent).

Somehow, that Irish whiskey or red ale just tastes better when enjoyed by a fire. The same stone used in the bar area extends out to create a home for the fireplace and a TV. This space was made for enjoying a pint of Harp while the Shamrock Rovers tear it up on the telly.

 

Why General Contractors Recommend Gas Fireplaces for Orange County Homes

Where you find new fireplaces installed in Orange County, you’ll find the fireplaces are gas-burning appliances.

General contractors install gas burners over wood burners for many reasons. To begin with, a gas fireplace saves a renovating homeowner money. Adding a fireplace after construction costs much less because a chimney doesn’t need to be added as well. As long as the fireplace has ventilation, it is safe.

Many gas-burning fireplaces feature a tempered glass front to create radiant heat. Homeowners use this radiant heat source to take the chill off one room without the need to heat the entire house.

Eco-warriors love gas-burning fireplaces as well. They don’t create soot or ash emissions, so they keep the air clean. No trees are harmed when enjoying a gas fireplace.  

Unusual Fireplaces

A creative general contractor knows how to incorporate fireplaces into just about any space.

This fireplace makes good use of limited space in the bathroom. As a bonus, two-sided fireplaces provide two heating surfaces and more angles from which to enjoy the fire.
