Color That Doesn’t Leave You Feeling Blue

When Inspired Remodels uses color to bring life to indoor spaces, you’ll never be left feeling blue.

Maritime blue cabinets by Schrock bring neutral tones to the color blue. They work and play well in tandem with white or grey cabinets or go for a wall of blue as in the stunning bathroom above.

Backlit mirrors add to the feeling of serenity by adding lumination brilliantly and discretely.

And color isn’t confined to custom cabinets in the bathroom. The custom cabinets in this kitchen island base blend with the greys of the floor and backsplash and white from the countertops and cabinets. The blue offers a cool feeling, keeping with the stainless steel appliances.

These cool blue custom cabinets offer a clean and sophisticated look to this kitchen. White uppers brighten the space, making the most of the limited square footage.

And blue isn’t the only color for custom cabinets in Orange County. The gold tones in this custom bar are all luxurious.

Custom Cabinets Provide Custom Storage Solutions

When you opt for custom cabinets for your Orange County bathroom or kitchen remodel, you open a world of storage possibilities.

Drawers provide more storage space than cabinets can offer. This Irvine kitchen remodel makes extensive use of drawers for lower cabinets.

With cabinets, you can stack items and then easily access them by pulling the drawer out. Don’t waste effort kneeling to get pots, pans, or other cookware.

Custom cabinets in this San Clemente bathroom provide space for storage and display. Just because it’s a bathroom doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful!

Once again, the extensive use of drawers provides the perfect space for towels as well as toiletries.

Kitchen Contractor Tips for a Great Kitchen

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

What makes a great kitchen great? Is the the gleaming floor, the smudge free fridge, or the whimsical backsplash? All of those elements may be present in a great kitchen. But you don’t need them to have a great kitchen. A great kitchen is great because it’s got an easy-to-use design and no space is wasted. Inspired Remodels is the Orange County kitchen contractor that knows what makes a great kitchen. Here’s a few tips to make your kitchen great.

Let There Be Light

You never stumble around in the dark in a great kitchen. A great kitchen makes the best use of natural light and adds in room lighting and task lighting.

Recessed lighting brightens the kitchen. Lights under the upper cabinets sneaks in additional task lighting. Who doesn’t want to see clearly when you’re slicing, dicing, and chopping?

Decorative lighting helps set the mood. Dimmer switches are great when your kitchen is part of an open concept area.

This kitchen uses decorative pendant lights to provide task lighting. Now that’s a lighting two-fer. Two-fers are great in the kitchen; they are the antithesis of the unitasker loathed by TV chef and cultural icon, Alton Brown. Unitaskers serve one purpose and take up valuable space.

Great Kitchens Make Great Use of Space

There’s not an inch of wasted space in a great kitchen. It’s one of the things that makes it so great.

Above, the slender space between the custom cabinets and stove was used for a small pull-out cabinet. Now you aren’t storing 10 pounds of rice here, but what are you doing with 10 pounds of rice any way?

It’s size and location make it perfect for salt, pepper, and any other spices and seasonings you might want to grab while using the cook top.

Another place space is frequently wasted is the lower cabinet kick space. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

A savvy kitchen contractor knows one way to turn a kitchen into a great space is to add a pull out step in place of a kick space.

This is particularly helpful for reaching the top shelves of upper cabinets. Even those that aren’t vertically challenged appreciate this type of convenience.

Or how about a kitchen island that doubles as a table? Once again, this kitchen contractor slayed the evil unitasker by making the island large enough to double as a table. A normal island doesn’t seat 6 comfortably. This one does.

The eat-in kitchen isn’t dead, it just looks different. It’s one of those things that makes a great kitchen great.

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 Semi-Custom Cabinets

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

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.
