Hello Spring – Interior Remodeling Company Updates Whole House

Spring cleaning time is here. While some people are cleaning out closets and tidying up the garage, others are completely changing their entire home. Inspired Remodels, an Orange County interior remodeling company, is here to help. We won’t scrub the bathroom windows, but we will take tired old bathrooms and make them new again. Like spring flowers bring a breath of freshness to the yard, Inspired Remodels breathes new life into tired kitchens and bathrooms.

Interior Remodeling Transforms Cottage to Contemporary

The challenge: take a Laguna Beach cottage and transform it to a modern residence. The interior remodeling company: Inspired Remodels and brothers Jason and Joe Mueller. The result: a home with a tranquil, neutral hotel vibe that’s incredibly inviting.

interior remodeling company uses contrast of light and dark in contemporary bathroomIn one bathroom, grey hexagon tile is cooling and soothing. Like a high-end hotel bathroom or a luxury spa, this tile sets the tone for the rest of the room.

The surface is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is calming in its neutrality. That’s because neutral doesn’t necessarily mean vanilla. This floor is a great example of using dark and light tones as neutrals. 

Contemporary beauty!

White subway tile contrasts with the dark wood ceiling and continues the spa feel to the room.

The clean contemporary lines continue with chrome fixtures, accessories, and vanity pulls. Integrated sinks are spacious while being incredibly easy to keep clean. Contemporary gets practical while keeping the flair and refinement of a jet-setting hotel.

Privacy glass in the windows allows light to stream into the room and is complemented by the frosted detail on the mirrors.

Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

Making good use of space was crucial to this kitchen remodel. Ingress and egress with sliding glass doors floods the room with natural light and artfully incorporates the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Light makes small spaces appear larger and this room makes the most of natural and artificial light.

The dark wood floor against the white and grey cabinets give the room a clean and finished feeling. This contemporary kitchen combines refined quiet and a clean sense of style.

The stainless appliances and chrome fixtures amplify the cool, contemporary look and banish any remainders of old, cottage style. An island and ample counter space provide plenty of room for multiple cooks. The island doubles as a base for entertaining as well as a spot for quick morning breakfasts.

This room works hard and looks good.

Contemporary Bathrooms

Two additional bathrooms were part of this total interior remodeling job. Using the same design elements as in the other rooms, two bathrooms were transformed into luxe, spa-like spaces.

Large hexagonal tiles on the wall continue the pattern from the floor in the first bathroom. Two dual outlets under the mirror provide all the power you need for charging electronics and energizing personal grooming appliances.

Chrome and brushed nickle accents and fixtures cement the contemporary vibe.

As in the kitchen, dark wood and light stone are the ying and yang that make this room look so complete.

 

The final bathroom continues the combination of dark and light to create a comfortable and contemporary space.

Dark wood floors contrast with light cabinetry as in the other rooms. The white cabinetry once again uses light to make the room appear more spacious. Contrasting wall tiles and countertop stone keep the room from appearing too vanilla.

Dark accents on cabinetry, mirrors, and lights provide just enough pops of color to keep the mostly monochrome palette feeling lively.

Spring cleaning this room will be a breeze in years to come. Hard surfaces resist water stains and easily wipe clean.

Custom cabinets are pricey. Stock cabinets look like cookie-cutter cabinets but are inexpensive. What’s a person to do when budgeting for a kitchen remodel?

KitchenCraft Cabinets

Do your tastes run to modern, European, or contemporary? Then KitchenCraft makes the semi-custom for you. This Canadian-based company combines good looks and quality construction to give you the look you want.

The Integra Collection gives you solid or square door options in a variety of finishes that include contemporary looks like bamboo, Thermafoil,  and white oak as well as more traditional cherry, alder, and maple.

What makes KitchenCraft special is its approach to semi-custom cabinetry. The result is almost fully custom. In addition to picking your door style and wood, they give you numerous options in glazes. So, just a simple change of glaze can completely change the look of the finish.

Just imagine the same cabinet door with this Bordeaux Black Glaze.  It’s the same wood and the same door, just a different glaze. Pick from standard or premium glazes.

Kitchen Renovation Trends For Orange County Kitchen Remodels

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen Renovation Trends For Orange County Kitchen Remodels

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.

mixing metals in a strong kitchen renovation trend for 2019

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.

quarts countertops are hot kitchen renovation renovation trend in 2019

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.

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.
