Orange County Bathroom Remodel Service: Dissecting Great Design

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

What makes a great bathroom design? Is it the tile on the floor or the stunning sink? No! Ask any Orange County bathroom remodel service with years of experience under their tool belt what makes a great bathroom design, and they will tell you it starts with making the most of the space and then builds from there. Inspired Remodels, the premier Orange County bathroom remodel service, breaks down the elements of a winning bathroom design.

Room to Move

Resist the urge to cram more in the space than will comfortably fit. Ignore this golden rule, and no matter how great the room looks, you will regret your choices on a regular basis.

Give yourself room to breathe and move. Allow at least 30” of space in front of toilets, bathtubs, showers, and vanities. Don’t design a water closet so small that the door touches the knees of a person sitting on the toilet. You may laugh, but it happens.

Add lighting in layers

Layer Your Lighting

Bathrooms are like kitchens; they require several sources of lighting. Ambience lighting adds to the spa-like experience of soaking in a tub with bath salts and unwinding at the end of a hard day. But that’s not the light needed to shave in the morning. Or apply makeup.

Personal care routines require task lighting. Don’t guess where the mascara goes; apply it properly the first time with the help of light from a source close to your mirrors.

A savvy Orange County bathroom remodel service design starts with overhead lighting. Recessed lighting tops the list for providing overall light to a room. Light cans installed overhead spread light throughout the room.

Next, add light to the vanity and mirror area. Scones next to the mirrors or lighted mirrors offer ample light for detail work such as shaving or applying facial products.

Cabinets, drawers, and medicine cabinets offer storage

Ample Storage

Functional bathroom designs include plenty of space to store linens and personal care items. No one wants to find out they are out of toilet paper at the wrong moment and realize none is stored in the room.

If you haven’t been there before, count yourself lucky.

Cabinets keep linens and essentials hidden until needed. Shelves offer space for decorative items and those you want at your fingertips. Drawers provide room for self-care items as well as the essential first-aid kit.

If you have room, include space for storing bathroom cleaning products. Keeping the room sparkling clean becomes easier when everything you need lives close by.

Spa-Quality Finishes

Include finishes that make the design special to you. When you think spa-quality finish, what comes to mind first?

That’s the element to first incorporate in your design. This element of the design requires personalization by the designer. Work with a designer who starts with your favorites and then incorporates them into the room.

Do you want heated floors? Tell the designer, as this item helps determine what finishes you can use on the floors.

Is a soaking tub important to you? This amenity requires plenty of room for the tub, filler plumbing, and entry/exit. If space is limited, you may consider a water room, which incorporates the tub and shower in one space.

The Inspired Orange County Bathroom Remodel Service

Inspired Remodels designs inspired bathrooms that offer functionality and beauty.

In the bathroom above, the dressing and vanity area sits across the room from the shower. This keeps the room looking large, open, and fresh. Rule 1 check!

A vanity that accommodates double sinks also offers plenty of drawer and cabinet space for storage. Mirrored medicine cabinets hide bonus storage while keeping smaller items at your fingertips. Rule 2 check!

Overhead recessed lighting augments the natural light from the window to keep the room feeling spacious and airy. Sconce lights framing the mirrors bathe the vanity area with task lighting. Tweeze and shave away with confidence. Rule 3 check!

Large format tiles on the floor and backsplash, and vertical subway tiles on the walls, lean into sophisticated spa-level vibes. Rule 4 check!

Orange County House Remodeling – Inside and Out

By Inspired Remodels / Home Improvement / Comments Off

Inspired Remodels creates inspired spaces in Orange County homes – inside and out. Here are a few recent projects.

Raising the Bar on House Remodeling

Orange County homeowners are elevating their living spaces with bars. Beyond the convenience of having a fully stocked bar at your disposal, these bars offer advantages beyond the realm of mixology.

This coffee bar is ready to help you greet the day each morning with a cup of coffee or tea and then welcome you home to wind down at the end of the day with a glass of wine.

A home bar offers convenience. Instead of heading out to stand in line at the coffee shop, you have the luxury of enjoying a perfectly prepared coffee drink within the comfort of your own home. No more waiting in long lines, struggling to find a seat, or dealing with the noise.

And when it comes to entertaining, a bar provides a natural alternative to the kitchen as a social hub.

This home bar serves as the perfect focal point for social gatherings and offers the ideal setting for entertaining friends and family. It creates a welcoming atmosphere where guests can gather, mingle, and enjoy each other’s company.

Basking In the Beauty of a New Bathtub

When it comes to creating a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation in your home, few things rival the luxury and comfort of a new bathtub. When you hire Inspired Remodels for a house remodeling project that involves the bathroom, stand back. Your upgraded space will incorporate a new bathtub that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom and transforms your bathing experience.

Replacing an old, worn-out bathtub with a new one transforms the visual appeal of the room. This new bathtub upgrades the style and design of the space while creating a focal point that drives the aesthetic of the room. Sleek and modern style with totally retro subway tile.

Soaking in warm water can aid in increasing blood circulation, easing joint and muscle pain, and reducing inflammation. Soaking in a tub is marvelous relief for family members with arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other musculoskeletal conditions. As a bonus, get a tub that provides hydrotherapy through jets or bubbles and increases the therapeutic benefits.

Poolside Perfection

Orange County living includes outdoor spaces too. Little wonder Orange County house remodeling projects by Inspired Remodels give pool areas a facelift too.

A home swimming pool should provide privacy, exclusivity, and a luxury feel. Make sure your backyard pool offers an intimate and comfortable experience by having Inspired Remodels design the space. Fully unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy the water. It’s like unwinding at a luxury hotel but in the comfort of your own backyard.

Let your backyard elevate the concept of a staycation. This year, create a space for relaxation, recreation, and escape for years to come. Bask in the sun, read a book by the water, or simply unwind with a refreshing swim.

Never boring and always amazing – that’s the hallmark of an Inspired Remodels house remodeling project. Schedule your consultation today.

Orange County Bathroom Designers Create Awe-Inspiring Bathrooms

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Let’s face it, when it comes to interior remodeling, we are all nosy neighbors. Don’t you want to know what’s going on when you see the vans and trucks pull up to start a bathroom or kitchen remodel? Satiate your curiosity. Take a peek at these awe-inspiring creations from the Orange County bathroom designers at Inspired Remodels.

Double the Amazing in Ladera Ranch

This recent Ladera Ranch bathroom remodel created enough luxurious space for two.

How gorgeous are the dual sinks and lighted medicine cabinets? Medicine cabinets have come a long way from the boring mirrored boxes hung on the wall. Sofia Medicine Cabinets hits it out of the park in this bathroom.

The lighting provides the perfect level of illumination for when you need to see clearly. Whether it’s flossing or removing a splinter, you’ll be humming to the tune of “I Can See Clearly Now”.

And because storage is always an issue in bathrooms, medicine cabinets provide an unbeaten way to maximize space and keep smaller toiletries right at hand.

Frankly, would you have known these lighted mirrors concealed storage?

And when it comes to cleaning up, this bathroom doubles the functionality. From the spectacular soaking tub to the sensational rimless shower stall, options abound for scrubbing or soaking the day away.

Bathroom Designers Create Art With Tile

You can slap subway tile on the walls and call it a day. You’ll have a clean, modern look. But why stop there?

Some bathroom designers see bathroom tile as a medium for creating art in the bathroom. By using different installation patterns or unique tile shapes and colors, they transform walls, backsplashes, showers, and tub surrounds into works of art.

This picket-shaped tile creates a stunning accent wall and the perfect contrast for the dual round, black mirrors. Grout slightly darker than the tile brings the unique picket shape to prominence.

A soaking tub niche gets elevated with rare, linen-look tile. These unique tile planks create the feeling of soaking in a tub, hidden by a screen of fine linen or grasses.

It’s all part of a knockout bathroom design. The same tile creates an accent wall in the brilliantly crafted shower.

Linen tile isn’t the only design that imitates nature. For this Aliso Viejo remodel, the bathroom designers incorporated a leaf-shaped tile to create a work of art.
