Pullout Storage

Drawers and pull-outs make storage and access easy. Storage drawers allow you to better utilize the space than a base cabinet with a shelf. That’s so old hat.

Modern kitchens swap base cabinets for pull-out drawers for pots, pans, and pantry items. Base cabinets fitted with pull-out hardware store pots, pans, mixing bowls, and other kitchen essentials.
Inspired Remodels created this storage for the homeowner’s beloved stand mixer.

Open Shelves

Convert unused wall space into storage space with open shelves. Not only do open shelves add storage, but these days they provide an important design element. Use open shelves to display decorative serving pieces or be a spot for your best drinkware.

When used with decorative lighting, open shelves also make small kitchens feel larger. Where upper cabinets suck the air out of small spaces, open shelves expand the look of the kitchen.

Whether you use open shelves as décor or storage, be sure to include them in your kitchen remodel.

Built-In Trash & Recycling Storage

Base cabinets easily convert into ideal spaces to hide trash and recycling bins. The limited size forces you to empty the bins more often, but that’s not a bad thing. You’ll enjoy fresher air because rubbish doesn’t linger in the kitchen. Odors don’t have a chance.

Simply add hardware to create a pull-out rack for the trash and the recycling bin and store it out of sight. Metal hardware slides easier than wood racks.

Utilize Toe Kick

Too often, the toe kick area gets ignored in a kitchen remodel. Many kitchen remodelers see this as empty space, not storage space.

However, the toe kick offers the perfect space to store flat items (think baking sheets and racks). It also serves as a hiding spot for a pull-out step stool. Either way, make use of the toe kick area in at least one base cabinet for additional storage.

Orange County Shower Remodel Inspiration

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Shower Remodel Inspiration

In an inspired remodel, the shower doubles as a showstopper. Get inspired for your bathroom update with a little Orange County shower remodel inspiration from Inspired Remodels. From shaking things up with tile shapes, textures, and patterns to elevating the shower spray, these Orange County shower remodels set the stage for functional and beautiful bathrooms.

Use Pattern In the Shower

Tile offers countless opportunities to accent color, texture, and design. But don’t forget, installation patterns provide another powerful design tool.

Herringbone patterns elevate humble, plain white subway tile when installed in a herringbone pattern. Herringbone brings all the drama of a chevron pattern without the extra labor to cut each tile at a 45° angle. You also use less tile.

Don’t forget the grout! Contrasting grout creates patterns between the tiles. The stark contrast between white tiles and black grout or black or gray tiles and white or brown grout creates visual interest.

Multiple Shower Heads = Twice as Nice

Get ready to crank up the power in your next shower singing performance with multiple shower heads.

A rainfall shower head provides gentle, sensual water spray while handheld heads double as microphones and allow you to target certain areas.

Use an additional pulsating spray on sore calves or the back while luxuriating under the soothing spray from the main shower head. Or use two large shower heads to convert your shower into a human carwash.

Handheld shower heads evolved considerably beyond the original shower massage. Today, adjustable-height shower heads move with ease on slide bars to deliver water exactly where you want it. Wall-mounted nozzles deliver invigorating spray.

Whether you shower solo or with a friend, don’t shower with only one shower head.

 

Accent Tiles Add Interest to Every Shower Remodel

Just as accent tiles breathe life into the kitchen backsplash, accent tiles bring color and life to every inspired Orange County shower remodel.

Accent tiles embellish niches, floors, and benches in the modern Orange County shower. Match with floor tiles, complement wall tiles, or use accent tiles to bring together disparate design elements in a cohesive look.
