By Inspired Remodels / custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Trends come and go. Inspired Remodels keeps an eagle eye on kitchen remodeling trends so every kitchen they design and build is perfect for its time. Here are four custom kitchen remodeling ideas you need to incorporate for an updated 2024 kitchen.

Statement Range Hoods

The rarely noticed range hood works hard to vent odors and grease from the cooking area. It’s a dirty job, but as Mike Rowe says, “somebody’s got to do it.” In the past, range hoods suffered neglect from designers. Those days are gone!

In 2024, these hoods will leave their shrinking violet heritage behind and make a bold statement.

Incorporate a statement range hood in your custom kitchen remodel and you’ll find it is a game changer.

Warmer Tones

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2024, Peach Fuzz, sets the stage for warmer tones throughout the house. So, it’s no wonder that custom kitchen remodels incorporate warmer and moodier colors.

Stark white-on-white kitchens aren’t the cream of the crop in 2024. While many stunning white kitchens come into being in 2024, the real winners will be those that opt for warm tones.

Think terracotta accents if you can’t wrap your head around peach.

Statement Backsplashes

Backsplashes traditionally put function over form. They prevent water, food, and grease from staining and sticking to kitchen walls.

Yeah, but one super-hot custom kitchen remodeling trend for 2024 lets the backsplash become fashion-forward.

Inspired Remodels led the way in 2023, incorporating statement backsplashes into their kitchen remodeling projects.

Now the backsplash provides an important design element in the kitchen remodel. Watch out bathrooms – you may be next.

Colors, textures, and designs all play a part in creating a beautiful statement backsplash. This trend also supports the final trend for 2024 – death of perfectly matched design elements.

Eclectic Elements

If you feel a need for every element of your kitchen to be a perfect match, 2024 might be a bad year for you.

One of the hottest upcoming kitchen remodeling ideas for Orange County kitchens is a mix-and-match approach to everything from lighting to hardware.

Mixed metals add an eclectic touch

Even upper and lower cabinets stray from an everything must match aesthetic.

Mix up cabinet hardware. Install pulls here and knobs there. Heck, toss a few handles in for good measure.

Why must all walls be the same color?

Nothing customizes a kitchen like adding your own eclectic elements and when you do so in 2024, you’ll be riding a rising wave.

If you need a few ideas for your next kitchen remodel, take a look at these pictures from custom kitchen remodeling jobs in Orange County.

Hoods Are More Than Functional

Ventilation plays a major part in managing cooking odors, grease, and vapor. But just because a hood has a job doesn’t mean it can’t look great while doing it.

This Coto de Caza kitchen remodel incorporates ventilation in the form of a hood with architectural elements. Notice how the fascia matches the cabinetry? Graceful hood lines contrast nicely with the simplicity of the cabinets. This hood carries the industrial vibe that starts with the stainless steel appliances, cabinet hardware, and faucet. It marries marvelously with the gray and white marble counters too.

Accent Tile Backsplashes

Backsplashes create easy-to-clean surfaces where water and food splatter are common. But that doesn’t mean you must fall back on common tile.

These unique backsplashes make a statement that’s heard loud and clear from every angle.

Subway tile provides the utilitarian sections of the backsplash, but it’s the statement tile behind the range that does the heavy lifting. Neutral-tone greys and whites provide just the pop of color the white and black palette needs.

This Laguna Hills kitchen remodel uses tone-on-tone tile to create a true work of wall art. Fanciful fans steal the show while pencil tile creates a faux frame.

Decorative Lighting

Everyone is incorporating an island these days. But Inspired Remodels is incorporating decorative lighting above so every island looks great and performs beautifully.

Pendant downlights chase away the darkness with a bit of country charm. The metal trim coordinates perfectly with the copper from the pot filler and simple clear glass globes. Who wouldn’t want to linger over breakfast here?

Teardrop lights bring tears of joy to this Orange County homeowner. Asymmetry makes these groupings special. No matchy matchy number of lights in each grouping and each pendant hangs at a different height.

Where some residential remodeling contractors in Orange County see a bare space to paint, Inspired Remodels sees a design opportunity. With so many options available, kitchen backsplashes deserve more than a coat of paint. Backsplashes provide a space to personalize, dramatize, and get creative.

See what these contractors have been up to in Orange County kitchens.

A Study in Contrasts

Who said you can’t have contrasting tile on your backsplash? Tell them they are wrong.

This kitchen clearly reflects the results achieved when solid white subway tile gets a little design assist with contrasting decorative tile.

What’s fabulous about this tile? Everything! To start, each individual tile is a work of art.

And it’s a complete work. So, you get the impact of mosaic design using fewer tiles and less grout.

The soft grey provides a complementary accent that pairs perfectly with the stainless steel finishes on the stove and other kitchen appliances. Notice how the stainless pot filler almost fades away?

At the same time, deep maroon tones playfully pick up the color from the stove knobs.

Talk about remodeling contractors that think of every little detail!

This kitchen would have been light, airy, and run-of-the-mill if the entire backsplash had been white.

But Inspired Remodels added drama and a touch as unique as the homeowner’s fingerprint to this kitchen. All with a little contrasting tile. Amazing!

A Study in Elegance

All while can be boring, But white done right is simply elegant. Jolly trim tile creates the frame while delicately etched tiles paint the picture. And it’s all done against a stunning white subway tile in this absolutely fabulous Laguna Hills kitchen remodel.

But all white isn’t the only way to achieve kitchen elegance.

Inspired Remodels added reflective tile to this backsplash to make the room appear larger and the result was entirely elegant.

As light dances off reflective tiles, it adds elegance with its sparkle and shimmer. Like the perfect piece of jewelry accessorizes an outfit, just the right decorative tile accessorizes the kitchen.

It keeps the dark countertops from overpowering the room and adds a bit of visual interest to an area that is generally boring, the backsplash behind the stovetop.

Now, because this glamour comes from tile, no splatter or spatter can break its stride. You get an easy-to-clean surface that will stay looking great for years. Now, you know you can’t say the same for a painted surface. Tile is simply superior.
