Kitchen Remodel Company Dishes on Islands

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

In Orange County, no custom kitchen remodel is complete unless it includes an island. Inspired Remodels, Orange County’s inspired kitchen remodel company, dishes on what makes a kitchen island an asset, not a liability. From providing an extra dining space to adding an additional prep area, Orange County kitchen islands earn their keep.

Island-Style Dining

Island dining doesn’t always include ocean breezes, blue water, and tropical landscapes. In Orange County, you can enjoy a view of the Pacific with your bowl of cereal when Inspired Remodels adds an island to your kitchen. This is a kitchen remodel company that understands the versatility of the kitchen island.

Some want a casual dining experience. This kitchen island provides seating for 3. When not in use, barstools tuck under the island. Legs add a table vibe to this kitchen island. Incorporating seating into the kitchen island converts this small kitchen into an eat-in kitchen. It’s island dining at its most functional.

Not all island dining is so informal. Now, this kitchen island can seat up to 12 or serve a buffet for a crowd. The more formal lighting gives the island a more formal feel. When you dream big, make sure you’ve got a kitchen remodel company that understands your vision.

Islands that Work

Kitchen islands offer a great opportunity to create efficient work triangles. Work triangles create a kitchen where key elements such as the sink, stovetop, and refrigerator are places for easy access. When you reduce the number of steps between work elements, you create a more efficient workspace. Genius!

The kitchen remodel above updated a large kitchen space. Large kitchens provide plenty of room for the cook, but they also present a challenge. How can the cook work without running ragged? Too many steps are like too many cooks, they ruin the dish.

By placing the cooktop on the kitchen island, the kitchen remodel company reduced the number of steps between the sink, fabulous fridge, and cooking area.

Here’s another take on the working island. In this instance, the sink resides in the island with the range/oven combo behind the island and the refrigerator on the side of the island.

Sometimes just one island won’t do.

This Cota da Caza kitchen remodel incorporates islands for dining and islands for work. It’s a fearless commitment to island living.

Seriously, one island incorporates a wine fridge and a sink. The sink placement completes a perfect work triangle. The second island offers seating for 5 and additional storage. In a large space, these two islands provide retain the feeling of spaciousness for entertaining large groups while creating an intimacy perfect for family dining.

Orange County Remodeling Contractor Simplifies Interior Design

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Inspired Remodels, the premier Orange County remodeling contractor, creates stunning interiors. Interiors that show simplicity is often the most stunning element of design.

Simplicity in the Bathroom

You just can’t beat the simplicity of white subway tile in a bathroom. Go ahead, try.

This Mission Viejo bathroom gets a stunning makeover with simple white subway tile. Now, simply contrast the white with black and increase the wow and simply gorgeous factor. Next, pop a little interest in the niche with geometric designs.

That’s how you achieve a stunning design with simplicity. Black and white top the list of most important elements of simple design, but that doesn’t mean they are boring.

Check out how white and black come together for another simple and stunning bathroom look. This time marble steals the show.

Black marble tile adds visual interest with white veining. Is there anything simpler than black marble?

Add Shaker-style cabinets and add another layer of simplicity. Shaker-style cabinetry features clean lines and avoids fussiness at all costs. Whether you decide to use Shaker cabinets in the bathroom or kitchen, you’ll find they work and play well with other elements. Why? Because of their simplicity of course.

Simplicity in the Kitchen

Once again, black and white reign supreme when it comes to simple elegance. There’s no fussiness in this room. Cool, clean neutral tones and straight lines set the stage. As a result, the simple curve from the goose-neck faucet at the large sink is almost breathtaking. The same applies to the curved handles on the refrigerator. Straight-rod style handles might have been functional, but they wouldn’t have worked as well.

Now, look at the gentle curve of the crown molding. Simply stunning.

That’s just another example of Inspired Remodel’s keen eye for detail. No element goes unnoticed when they create jaw-droppingly simply elegant and functional designs.

And just because you want a clean and simple design doesn’t mean you must use black and white.

On the contrary. Inspired Remodels used tones from the Earth in this kitchen. Tan quartz countertops, mossy and grassy green tiles for the backsplash, and the orange of a brilliant sunset are the artist’s palettes in this room.

Notice the Shaker cabinets? But this time, the cabinet hardware is round. Drawer pulls offer a half-moon design that’s easy to grip and pull and circular knobs complete the look. Hardware plays an important role in kitchen design. Too often, it’s overlooked. But not when Inspired Remodels is on the job!

Orange County General Contractors in the Kitchen

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Earlier this month, we peeked into some Orange County bathroom remodels. Today let’s see what your neighbors have been doing in the kitchen. Inspired Remodels, the Orange County general contractors that have been cooking with fire, share some of their recent kitchen remodel projects. Check these designs out from the Facebook page.

Dining In in Dove Canyon

Well, you can’t go out to eat in a restaurant. Might as well have a stunning place to eat in when you must eat in night after night.

This Dove Canyon kitchen remodel provides two spaces for sharing a meal or a snack. Families can gather at a table sized kitchen island or at a more traditional setting with table and chairs.

Either space offers comfortable room for playing board games, sharing a fondue, or eating family-style. You could even combine the two spaces using the island as a buffet space and the table for seating and eating. And don’t laugh at the fondue, fondue is making a comeback – don’t laugh.

Kitchen islands are so cool they’re hot right now.

Even though you may be hosting large gatherings less you may be entertaining small groups more. Even if it’s just the immediate family.

Face it, everyone wants a reason to celebrate – from losing a tooth to just surviving another week. Tuesday can be a reason to celebrate. And a kitchen island is the best place to celebrate.

Orange County homeowners opt to add functionality to their islands by adding prep sinks, electrical outlets to power portable appliances, plenty of lighting and a surface area providing room to do schoolwork or eat a meal.

Psst, check out the herringbone pattern on the floor. It makes this space look larger!

Shining a Light in Mission Viejo

This small kitchen is big on style and functionality and punches above its weight due to the abundance of light.

Start with the natural sunlight that streams unfettered through the window. Add a layer of light with recessed top hat lights and top it off with downlights from pendents.

Now you’ve got light to lift your mood from the window, lights for ambience from the pendents, and functional lights from the recessed lights.

A combination of light, white cabinets, a neutral backsplash and floors, and stainless appliances makes the most of this small kitchen. Black accents contrast contrast beautifully for a sleek, modern look.

You don’t need to fall back on black and white when adding lights. In this Orange County kitchen remodel, the downlights are blue, the cabinets are a beautiful birch, and matching countertops and backsplash pull it together.

Even though this picture was taken at night, you can see the window provides plenty of light when the sun comes up.

This kitchen not only uses recessed lighting it also includes under the cabinet lighting for ambience or additional task lighting during meal prep.

Nothing lifts the mood like light. Be sure your Orange County kitchen has plenty.

Stunning Style in Rancho Santa Margarita

Small spaces can be a challenge for some Orange County general contractors. Not Inspired Remodels.

This small kitchen space in Rancho Santa Margarita applies the kitchen triangle concept for functionality. The palette is neutral without being boring.

For example, the variety of tones in the herringbone backsplash provide visual interest. Sure, white subway tile would have been more traditional, but it certainly wouldn’t elevate the small space in the same way.

Another way to make small spaces appear larger is the use of open shelves and cabinets.

The glass front cabinets in this kitchen serve two purposes. First they provide space to display the homeowner’s kitchen treasures. Second, they trick the eye into seeing the space as larger than it is.

It’s a visual trick because the eye sees beyond the cabinet door front to the rear wall of the cabinet. So, the eye sees to the wall and not the cabinet door. It’s a small thing, but with small spaces, those little things add up.

The trim and mouldings aren’t fussy or ornate so they draw the eye out. Clean lines make small spaces look larger too.
