Sensational Subway Tile

Subway tile provides enduring beauty in any bathroom or kitchen. The simplicity of rectangular tile provides a blank palette upon which you can add decorative details. In the shower above, the subway tile sets the stage for the green glass mosaic insert. Think of the green glass tile as the supporting actor and the subway tile as the star. But subway tile is one star that’s never a diva.

No, it’s one tile perfectly content to play the strong and silent type. Enjoy the simplicity of the lines of subway tile.

Neutral subway tile is like a double dose of simplicity. When creating a spa-like experience, designers look to shapes and colors that calm.

No wonder subway tile is a favorite. This shower uses dark grout to accentuate the subway tile in the shower area and light grout in the sink area where subway tile plays a supporting role. Such is the versatility of subway tile.

And with this tub and shower remodel, white subway tile quietly lets the geometric niche tile become the star of the show. A great Orange county shower remodel is really like casting a movie or television show. You need stars, you need supporting casts, and you need a little drama and a splash of fun.

Subway tile lets you do all this and more.

Double the Fun with Your Orange County Shower Remodel

In the summer of 1976, England experienced a brutal drought. The River Thames was all but dry. The Brits with their dry humor created a conservation campaign that encouraged people to shower (Brits generally bathed) and save water. The slogan, Save Water, Shower With a Friend was born.

With the drought a part of Orange County life, showering with a friend still resonates. But now, we shower with a friend in style.

Inspired Remodels adds two shower heads with this Orange County bathroom remodel. Each bather can control their water temperature and pressure. Now that’s real customization.

And with this shower remodel, even the tub gets in on the fun. One can shower while the other bathes. Bet you even noticed the clever use of subway-inspired tile.

Put a tub in your shower remodel and create a wet room.

Orange County Kitchen Contractor Tips for a Great Kitchen

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Kitchen Contractor Tips for a Great Kitchen

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Orange County cooks are discovering if their recent kitchen renovations created beautiful kitchens or beautiful and functional kitchens. There’s a big difference! Inspired Remodels is the Orange County kitchen contractor that creates beautifully functional kitchens that look good and work smart. Learn what it takes to create a great kitchen no matter the size.

Oh, Say Can You See?

Whether it’s by the dawn’s early light or the middle of the night, you’ve got to be able to see what you’re doing in the kitchen.

This Irvine kitchen provides light in oh so many ways. There’s light from the recessed lights scattered throughout the room. And under the cabinet lights provide task lighting when prepping at the countertops. Globe lights hanging from the ceiling light the island and provide a decorative touch. Additional light could have been provided by additional can lights, but why go that route when you can go decorative instead?

This Mission Viejo kitchen remodel makes the most of natural light. Placing the kitchen by a window shows genius when it comes to design. Who doesn’t want a glimpse of the outside when washing a dish, rinsing greens, or grabbing a quick glass of water? Recessed lighting, can lights, and globe lights make an appearance, but appear completely different than in the Irvine job. A great kitchen begins with a great Orange County kitchen contractor that understands the importance of lighting.

Try on a Triangle

A truly functional kitchen makes use of the kitchen triangle to bring elements together in a usable design.

In this Foothills Ranch remodel, the Orange County kitchen contractor placed the sink, the stove/oven, and the refrigerator in a triangle pattern. This increases the efficiency of the cook’s actions. A simple pivot takes the cook from the sink to the cooktop (imagine putting a pot of water on for a boil). Just a few steps take the cook from the fridge to the sink or from the fridge to the stove.

Or what about this design? Two triangles really make this Trabuco Canyon kitchen remodel hum. The addition of the prep sink creates additional work triangles. Of course, the kitchen sink, fridge, and wall ovens create a third kitchen triangle. The more triangles you create, the more functional your kitchen.  Come time to prepare a big meal, you’ll be thankful.

You’ll be thankful you hired Inspired Remodels as your kitchen contractor.

 

Interior Remodeling with Fireplaces? Yes, Please!

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Interior Remodeling with Fireplaces? Yes, Please!

Cozy time is coming! Our Orange County climate offers cool nights, perfect for cuddling up to a fireplace. Whether you want a functional fireplace for heat or just looking to add ambiance, Inspired Remodels never forgets the fireplace when interior remodeling.

Irvine interior remodel converts fireplace to electric

Surrounded by Design

Too often the fireplace mantle and hearth get all the design love. But this Irvine interior remodeling forgoes both. Instead, of a traditional mantle, wood molding takes its place. The result is clean and classic as a Roman column. While there’s still space to display a few items, the molding combination is the real design element.  And instead of a traditional hearth, the flooring comes right up to the fireplace front. When you aren’t burning wood, there’s no need to worry about embers.  Because the hearth protects from embers, when you get rid of the embers you eliminate the need for a hearth. A herringbone tile front finishes the look.

And that raised hearth really elevates this fireplace. Literally and figuratively. Inside or out, there’s no need for a fireplace to be at floor level.

This rustic, wood-burning fireplace also features a raised hearth. The look of stacked stone is perfect for French Country or Mission-inspired interior remodeling projects. And once again, molding takes the place of a traditional hearth.

Interior Remodeling Updates Fireplaces Too!

Maybe you have a fireplace you feel doesn’t fit your sense of style. Or maybe it’s time to update your fireplace. Yes, that’s right – update your fireplace.

Inspired Remodels not only installs fireplaces but can also completely change the look of your existing fireplace. By adding moldings, changing the hearth, or refacing the fireplace your fireplace will be completely transformed.

In this fireplace, a light-colored stacked stone front provides a more modern look. The more traditional mantle gets a facelift with additional molding. And, everyone looks better with a new coat of paint.  This fireplace is ready to keep homeowners feeling the love for years to come.

This fireplace received a similar treatment. New stacked stone, an updated hearth, and fresh moldings and paint complete the look. The fireplace now serves as a focal point for the room, not a tired eyesore.

Sometimes that fireplace gets lonely. This interior remodeling project added custom cabinets on both sides of the fireplace. The entire wall makes a statement. Rustic stacked stone pairs perfectly with the simplicity of the Shaker-inspired cabinet doors. It’s a design that beckons you to take a book from the shelf and curl up in the chair and enjoy a fire.
