Kitchen Remodeling Fall Inspiration

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Fall in Orange County means football on TV, fewer tourists at the beach, and a drive to the mountains for leaf peeping. The change in season provides the perfect backdrop to refresh the home before the holidays. So, here’s a little inspiration for kitchen remodeling this fall.

Make a Splash with a Backsplash

A kitchen backsplash possesses the remarkable ability to transform the entire room and breathe new life into its design. This often-overlooked feature is not merely a protective barrier against splashes and stains but also a canvas for creativity and style. See how these backsplashes work magic in kitchen remodeling projects.

How unusual is this tile? The current green and white palette goes great, but honestly, this tile will match any color the homeowner ever uses. Talk about tile with staying power!

Another kitchen, another green and white combination. But, a completely different look thanks to the marvelous backsplash.

For something completely different, go for traditional subway tile but lay it in a herringbone pattern. All the beauty of a chevron with none of the extra labor costs for cutting the tile at an angle.

Update Kitchen Hardware

New cabinet hardware breathes new life into a kitchen, instantly transforming its overall look and feel. These small but impactful elements play a pivotal role in the kitchen’s aesthetic, functionality, and style.

Cabinet hardware serves as a visual focal point in the kitchen. It’s like jewelry that enhances an outfit. Selecting hardware that complements your kitchen’s design theme creates a cohesive and harmonious space. Change the choice of hardware and change the tone for the entire room.

The same style cabinets just look different when you use brushed nickel versus gold hardware.

Decorative Lighting

New decorative lighting in a kitchen remodeling makes a room more functional and visually appealing. Swap out decorative lighting for a fresh and rejuvenated look.

First and foremost, lighting fixtures can serve as the focal point of your kitchen’s design. Whether it’s a stunning alternative to traditional pendant lights above the kitchen island, a row of elegant sconces along the walls, or a unique chandelier, the choice of decorative lighting can set the tone and style for the entire space. Lighting becomes a statement piece, elevating the room’s overall aesthetics.

Shaker-style cabinets started trending several years ago. Now the love of simplicity inspired by those cabinets is finding its way into every kitchen element.

Kitchen Furniture

That’s right, not kitchen cabinets but kitchen furniture. With the kitchen central to modern life, kitchen furniture becomes more and more important in the design of the kitchen.

This kitchen remodel brings back the true eat-in kitchen. For many years, the island provided the eating space in the kitchen. With this kitchen remodel, the sit-down table and chairs return and remind everyone of the importance of breaking bread together.

This remodel combines simplicity with stunning kitchen furniture. Ample countertop space provides all the workroom you need. No island required

Connected Kitchens

In 2024, kitchens get more connected than ever before. The high-tech dream kitchen of the Jetsons is a reality in Orange County.

This ventilation hood doubles as the hub for your connected kitchen. Stream while you steam and become the star of your own show. Includes over 5,000 recipes plus an app to store your own recipes.

Even if you opt to keep the rest of the house off the wi-fi, you can still control your refrigerator and dishwasher from your phone. Sure, it sounds crazy. But when you are at the store and wonder if you have milk, that camera inside the fridge comes in handy!

Brands like Samsung and LG lead the way in connectivity in the kitchen.

Orange County Custom Kitchen Remodeling Ideas

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

When you start gathering custom kitchen remodeling ideas, most people go straight for the big elements. What cabinets will look best? Which countertop material is absolutely essential? Should you pick tile or wood floors?

Inspired Remodels knows that the little things add up quickly to make a big impact. That’s why they suggest remembering little things when you collect ideas for your kitchen remodel.

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.
