By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on What’s Happening with Custom Kitchen Remodeling

Ready for a new kitchen in 2021? Look what Inspired Remodels has been doing with custom kitchen remodeling in Orange County. Get inspired or compare your ideas with what’s happening with other Orange County kitchen remodeling projects. Either way, 2021 is a great year for new cabinets, more meal prep or storage space, or the addition of a bar or wine storage.

Drink Where You Eat

Inspired Remodels finished a few custom kitchen remodeling jobs where the entire focus wasn’t on meal prep and dining. The kitchen provides a great space to incorporate a bar or a space for beverage storage. Check this out!

This Dove Canyon custom kitchen remodeling job includes a lovely and spacious wine storage space. Faux brick wall offers a rustic look. Refrigeration keeps wine and correct temperature and abundant lighting keeps the area looking spectacular.

A recent Mission Viejo custom kitchen remodeling project added a complete bar area off the kitchen. As a result of this upgrade, everyone delights in the stunning clean lines and subtle lighting.

Looking for small scale wine storage? So, install a built-in unit under the cabinet. Just dedicate the space of one cabinet and multiply wine storage space.

Herringbone Everywhere

In 2021, herringbone shows up everywhere. Find herringbone on backsplashes and floors. Herringbone provides an economical way to incorporate a chevron-like pattern. That’s because herringbone forgoes the mitered edges. Still, get a spectacular look.

Subway tile gets a new look! Seriously, staggering the tile in a herringbone pattern makes ordinary subway tile anything but ordinary.

Herringbone improves the look of planks on the floor as well. Add visual interest to your backsplash and floor elements with your next kitchen project.

Orange County General Contractors Share 2021 Design Trends

A new year means new design trends. Inspired Remodels, the Orange County general contractors with their finger on the pulse of design, share the big trends of 2021.

Wood and Wood Look Floors

Orange County loves wood and wood-look floors. That won’t change in 2021.

Pick a room, pick a look, pick the most appropriate flooring.

Living areas, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and home offices sport wood and wood-look flooring.

2021 finds Orange County general contractors nailing and gluing down hardwoods, floating engineered click-lock flooring, and laying wood-look ceramic and porcelain tiles.

Wood-look tile for walls and the seat is the perfect complement to the river stone floor. This type of tile works perfectly in wet areas where wood just won’t do.

Wood or wood-look tile? Can you tell the difference? The wood-look tile of 2021 looks more like wood than the wood itself. Grain and color gradations emulate natural wood closely. Some flooring products feature distressed surfaces as well. So, you can get the look of weathered and repurposed wood in a more durable product that costs much less money as well.

2021 is going to be a great year for flooring.

Colored Cabinets

Colored cabinets are back. Whether it’s a contrasting color for upper and lower cabinets, a specimen piece for a bar, or even a kitchen island, colored cabinets turn up in unexpected places in 2021.

Gray trended for the last 5 years. So, it’s no surprise that green and blue would become two of the most popular cabinet colors. They pair perfectly with gray!

In the kitchen, green lower cabinets put the shine on stainless steel appliances and contrast beautifully with white upper cabinets. And green goes well with so many wood flooring options to boot!

Here’s a different room, a different color cabinet, and different flooring. But it still works wonderfully. The blue bathroom vanity with white top and wavy-textured ceramic tile takes all the drama from the kitchen above and creates a look that’s completely different.

That’s the flexibility of colored cabinets, and blue is the color for cabinets in 2021.

Bamboo Flooring

Eco-conscious consumers flock to bamboo flooring. It’s renewable and much harder than other hardwood floorings. Strand woven bamboo flooring goes to places where wood cowers.

Perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens, entryways, and hallways. Contrary to popular belief, bamboo floors stand up to refinishing.

Be sure to look for bamboo flooring that’s FloorScore certified. You’ll breathe easier knowing your flooring does off-gas harmful chemicals.

To 2021 and Beyond!

Orange County Residential Remodeling Contractors Use Design-Build Model for Success

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Orange County Residential Remodeling Contractors Use Design-Build Model for Success

Every incredible residential remodeling project begins with an incredible design. The design drives the project. Allow a disconnect between design and remodeling and you allow plenty of room for trouble. However most residential remodeling contractors aren’t designers, and most designers don’t hold a construction license. Inspired Remodels solves that problem. They take your ideas, inspirations, must-haves, and “really wants” and convert them into a functional and beautiful design. Inspired Remodels transforms rooms and, in the process, turns dreams into reality.  And it all starts when they create your design.

Why the Design-Build Model Works So Well

Traditionally, homeowners hired many professionals for a major remodel or renovation. One job required the services of an architect, a designer, and a general contractor who then hired the actual tradesmen to do the work. The process modeled the commercial building process No wonder remodeling was expensive and complicated.

But commercial construction changed.  Design-build improved the traditional process. Simplifying the workflow reduced costs and improved outcomes. Design-build delivered an entire project under one contract with a firm using this model. Suddenly layers of complexity fell away. The property owner only maintains a single relationship – the one with the design-build firm. The firm oversees the design and construction phases. This creates a total immersion in the project from start to finish. Streamlining the project in this manner means the owner only needs to maintain one relationship: the relationship with the design-build firm. The popularity of this method has grown substantially in the last 15 years. While this method of project delivery started for commercial projects, it has been adopted by a few residential remodeling contractors.
