Dark Floors

Dark flooring doesn’t have to be intimidating when it comes to interior design. Brightening up a space is as simple as using a lighter color scheme in other areas. If you’re installing black flooring throughout an entire room, for instance, a rug in a light color like beige, cream, or white would be a nice accent. This won’t take away from the floor, but rather add brightness to an otherwise dim area.

Paint walls a light color and instantly the room appears taller and more spacious.

Notice how light paint on the walls and light subway tile in the shower combine with the dark floor to make this bathroom appear more spacious and airy. You also enjoy a bit of drama with dark floors. Replace those dark floors with light tile and the drama melts away.

Timeless Stands

When a flooring contractor says “timeless”, they mean it. Some things really never go out of style.

What was timeless in 2014 stays timeless in 2024. Neutral tones rock floors through the decades. With beige, natural,  neutral, and grey floors you have a timeless base for building a variety of styles.

Walnut Wood Floors with step

Popular for Resale

Buyers want hardwood floors. Planks may get wider, but the demand for hardwood floors doesn’t fade away.

When it comes to recouping your money, wood flooring reigns supreme. Whether you go with the walnut featured above or pick a hickory or oak floor, you’ll make an investment in home value.

National Association of Realtors estimates that you recover 106% of the cost in added resale value.  That’s more than completing a kitchen or bathroom remodel. If you think selling your home is on the 2024 or 2025 horizon, add wood floors now and beat inflation. You’ll pay less now and get more in the future.

Stone and Wood

Natural building materials add timeless charm to any design. In 2024, both stone and wood play well together in almost any combination.

Stone on the wall and wood on the floor? Check!

Stone on the floor and barn door wood? Check!

No matter how you pair these two materials in 2024, you’ll love the results.

Does your kitchen provide space in the way you want to use it? Do you need space for entertaining but have abundant storage room?  Is it a kitchen built for one in a family of 2 or 3 budding gourmands? A kitchen remodel provides an updated look to the room and should also improve functionality.

In other words, when you plan a kitchen remodel, do you consider more than finishes and appliances?  You should. Inspired Remodels considers how the room will be used in the design phase. So, the entire kitchen remodel focuses on making the most of the space and making the space fabulous.

Creating a Hard-Working Kitchen

For some cooks, the most important appliance in the kitchen is the microwave. This is where they make the Easy Mac and pop the Orville Redenbachers. To a serious baker, you aren’t going to get between them and their convection oven. But, bakers rely on their Kitchen Aid stand mixer as the workhorse. From kneading dough to mixing batters and frostings to making meringues.

The Orange County Kitchen Remodel incorporates a Kitchen Aid station in the island. There’s room to store the appliance and attachments, as well as a sturdy work surface for when the unit is in use.

That’s adding functionality!

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.

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.

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.
