Custom Cabinets in Orange County Homes

By / custom cabinets / Comments Off on Custom Cabinets in Orange County Homes

Custom cabinets and built-ins show up in expected and unexpected places in Orange County homes. As unique as the homeowner, custom cabinetry provides a level of personalization only rivaled by paint. Take a look at these custom cabinets.

Add custom cabinets in the closet and turn the space into a dressing room. These cabinets provide organization and storage. Plus, the wood finish matches the tile floor perfectly.

The neutral tones soothe and calm. Just what you need to face another busy day.

Closet Organizing Tips

  • Stack bulky items such as sweaters and denim pants. Make sure your custom cabinets provide plenty of shelf space.
  • Take advantage of space with dual horizontal hangers. Slacks, skirts, shirts, and blouses hang wrinkle-free.
  • Move accessories to the back. In this design, there’s plenty of space to store these items at the back of the closet.

Remember, when dressing in the morning, you’ll appreciate having the most commonly worn garments in the front. Items that are worn less frequently go the back, up high, or down low.

Custom cabinets create stunning display cases. In this Dove Canyon home, custom cabinetry displays stemware and bar glasses. Glass fronts keep out the dust, and lighting literally highlights the beauty of the glass.

Tips for Organizing Glassware

Inspired Remodels created stunning custom cabinetry, but the way the homeowner arranged the contents is brilliant.

  • Store like stemware together. Wine glasses with other wine glasses and old fashioned glasses with old fashioned glasses.
  • Place the most frequently used items lower and the least used items higher. In this case, wine and martini glasses are on the bottom shelf and mule mugs and brandy snifters are on the upper shelves.
  • Rims up! The rim is the most delicate part of your glass. Prevent damage by storing barware rim side up! Custom cabinets with glass fronts keep dust out. (and Good Housekeeping agrees!)

All this time at home have you thinking about changing up the bathroom? Get inspired by Inspired Remodels. Check out these Orange County shower remodeling jobs and get those creative juices flowing.

Singing In the Rain

Find plenty of room for singing in the rain with this shower remodeling project. 

shower remodeling job adds dual rainshower headsTwin rainshower shower heads, dual water control, and even a delimiting tile border provide a perfect shower space for two. In addition, the ultra-sleek and modern brushed nickel fixtures provide the perfect cool accent to the marble tile. Enjoy bright light streaming in the window by day and moonlight at night.

Want something a bit smaller? Well then, this scaled-down shower is perfect for you.

This time, the single rainshower shower head serves one at a time. But, you don’t notice any framing! That’s because this shower uses a floating glass structure. Floating glass makes a room appear larger than it is. This time, ripple tiles on the wall provide a beachy vibe while wood-look tile and crystal chandelier emulate an upscale spa.

Take the original design, change the fixtures and tile, then double the window exposure. This is what you get!

contractor uses classic H pattern for subway tile with contrasting grout

How about different does this shower look? Amazing, right? But, look closely. You still find dual rainshower-style showerheads and cool white tile. Instead of traditional block-style subway tile install, this time it’s the classic H pattern. And the cool white tile stands in perfect contrast to rubbed bronze fixtures. So dramatic!

Grab a Seat

While you aren’t going to literally pull up a chair, modern shower designs incorporate seating.

This Mission Viejo shower remodel takes a corner and puts it to work. Filling the angled area with a tiled bench provides a spot for personal grooming or a place to simply close your eyes and breathe soothing steam.

This shower stool doubles as storage. Removable seating makes the most of your shower space. Perfect for those who need a safe way to shower in style.

Flooring Contractor Recommends Hard Surface Floors for Orange County Homes

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Flooring Contractor Recommends Hard Surface Floors for Orange County Homes

Wood, wood look tiles, marble, and porcelain tiles dominate remodeling trends for at least 10 years now. And that’s for good reason. Some designers and decorators are starting to introduce carpeting again. But Inspired Remodels, the expert flooring contractor in Orange County still recommends hard surface floors.  There are many reasons to love hard floors. Here are three:

Hard Flooring Improves Air Quality

Californians concern themselves with air pollution. But most of the focus is on the outside air.  Breather cleaner indoor air when you have hard surface floors.

Carpeting provides a safe harbor for dust, dust mites, pet allergens, mold spores, and grains of pollen.  These common household allergens are hard to get out of rugs and carpets.  Carpet cleaning companies promise to  “clean” carpets, but no company actually removes all soil and allergens to the depth of the backing. Unfortunately, too many carpet cleaning methods make surfaces dirtier. Improper extraction methods leave behind water and cleaning solutions and this promotes the growth of mold and increases dust mite populations. Ewww!

On the other hand, clean a hard surface floor and it is clean. Vacuum, damp mop, and Swiffer to your heart’s content. These actions remove dirt, debris, and allergens from your floors. Removing dust and allergens from the floor improves indoor air quality because once they are gone, you can’t breathe them.

Vacuum wood or tile floors with a HEPA filtered vacuum and clean the air even more.

Hard Flooring is Easy to Maintain

Hard floors like wood, tile, polished cement or stone are relatively easy to maintain.  Solid flooring resists stains. Even when you track dirt and debris inside, it’s easy to remove.

Spill red wine on the tile floor in the kitchen and just wipe it up.  There’s no crying over spilled milk, splashed cereal, or dropped peanut butter sandwiches. Just clean it up with a damp rag or paper towel. Grout may need sealing, but your tile floors will continue to be worry-free.

When you have carpet or rugs on the floor, every party and every dinner is a disaster waiting to happen. Your guests feel terrible for staining the floors and you feel bad too. Any flooring contractor will tell you the way to avoid the drama is to avoid the carpet.
