Custom Cabinets Personalize Your Space

By / custom cabinets, Home Improvement / Comments Off on Custom Cabinets Personalize Your Space

The cabinets you select for your kitchen or bathroom remodel offer an opportunity to put your mark on a room. And when you select custom cabinets, you get more than just wood boxes fitted with doors, shelves, and drawers.  

You get storage solutions that set the tone for the rooms and that have been personalized for how you use the space. Enjoy custom cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom, living areas, and even outdoors.

Let custom cabinets make your odd-shaped spaces usable and maximize the space available for your specific needs.

Custom Cabinets Built for You

The cabinets sold in home improvement stores limit your possibilities. Those stock solutions fail when it comes to customizing a space.

But custom and semi-custom cabinetry installed by Inspired Remodels offers the look and benefits you want. You won’t be limited to a small number of finishes or door designs.

Get custom cabinets built to the height you want. Stock cabinets accommodate the height of the average person. Not great news if you are exceptionally tall or short. But custom cabinets let you set the countertop height at the height you want.

Use custom cabinetry and turn a living area into a personal library to store and display your treasure trove of tomes.

Custom Cabinets by Design

One of the most important components in a kitchen or bathroom remodel is the selection of cabinets.

Before you think about countertops, sinks, doors, drawers, and finishes you must think about how you want to use the space.

The Inspired Remodels designers not only help you determine the overall look you want to achieve with the remodel, but they will also come up with a room layout that meets your needs.

Tell them about how you want to use the room. What storage needs do you have? Are you a casual entertainer or a gourmet chef?

Custom cabinets make the best use of the available space, squeeze out extra space, and personalize the room. And when it comes to making sure rooms flow from one to another, the designer can help you select finishes for a seamless flow.

This Orange County remodel uses custom kitchen cabinets to coordinate perfectly with the cabinets by the fireplace.

Are you thinking about remodeling your Orange County kitchen, but still sitting on the fence? Now is the time to move! Custom kitchen remodeling brings an entirely new look to your living area, makes the best use of space, and offers a great opportunity to add elements you dream of.

When you incorporate custom kitchen cabinets as part of the kitchen remodeling project, you end up with quality cabinets to last for years.

Here are four advantages of custom kitchen remodeling for your Orange County home.

Open Concept Transforms the Living Space

Orange County homes liberally make use of the open concept in building and remodeling. So, when you transform your kitchen with a custom kitchen remodel, the transformation spills over into the adjacent living spaces.

Adding white kitchen cabinets not only makes the kitchen look larger but also makes the connecting spaces look larger as well.

When you improve kitchen lighting or seating, you improve the dining options or usage of adjacent spaces.

For example, this Irvine custom kitchen remodeling added extra light to the dining area and tied the two spaces together with wood flooring.

In this custom kitchen remodel, the kitchen opens up into the living area. Light spills from the kitchen to light the hallway, stairs, and living area too.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets Are Higher Quality

No Orange County custom kitchen remodeling project would be complete without updating the kitchen cabinets. Remodeling affords you the opportunity to upgrade your kitchen cabinets.

If you have stock or builder-grade cabinetry, now is the time to upgrade to custom or semi-custom cabinets. Custom cabinets are more affordable than you think.

You won’t find particleboard construction in your custom kitchen cabinets. They are made to last. Not only is the cabinet construction superior, but the hinges, drawer rails, and glides are of higher quality as well.

In the future, you can paint or reface wood cabinets if you decide you want to update the look without updating the entire kitchen. That’s not possible with stock and low-grade kitchen cabinets.

 

Custom Kitchen Remodeling Maximizes Space

Speaking of those custom cabinets, custom kitchen remodeling allows you to maximize the space in your new design. Ingenious custom cabinets provide new ways to store common items.

The move from cabinets to drawers provides more storage in the same space.

With custom kitchen remodeling, you get the space where you want it in your Orange County kitchen. Whether it’s pantry space or pull-out steps, custom cabinets in your custom kitchen put the items you want at your fingertips.

Remodeling Incorporates Missing Elements

When you built or purchased your Orange County home, you settled for the house that gave you the most of what you wanted at the time.

But over time, your wants can change. Kitchen remodeling is the perfect time to incorporate those new wants or add in the elements that have been missing.

Maybe you wanted a warming drawer, wine storage, or a beverage bar.  Remodeling affords the chance to take a space and make it your own.

 

5 Enduring Custom Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2022

By / custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on 5 Enduring Custom Kitchen Remodeling Trends for 2022

Custom kitchen remodeling trends come crashing in like waves pounding the Pacific shoreline. Many ebb quickly and return to the sea of flash in the pan trends but others endure. Get the most of your remodeling budget and skip those ebbing trends. Incorporate these five enduring kitchen remodel trends for a dream kitchen in 2022 that will still be stylish in 2032.

Full Backsplashes

Remember when backsplashes were just a few rows high? Literally just enough to stop the splashing water or food? Not only are those days gone, but they also aren’t coming back any time soon.

Modern kitchens use the backsplash as a full design element. That’s why in 2022 and beyond, you’ll find no matter the material you pick, in custom kitchens the backsplash is full.

Backsplashes cover from countertop to the ceiling in this recent Mission Viejo custom kitchen remodeling project completed by Inspired Remodels.

The chevron tile design will also endure. Chevron patterns date back to ancient Greek pottery and textiles but the word didn’t appear in the English language until the 14th century. If a pattern has endured seven centuries, there’s a good chance it will endure in your kitchen another 30 years.

 

Minimalist Design

Less continues to be more in the kitchen. Fussy decor is as out-of-date as avocado green cabinets or appliances. Today’s focus is on functionality and easy-to-clean surfaces. Neutral tones set the stage

Modern kitchens work hard, and they get dirty. Minimalist design creates kitchens that work hard and look stunning in the process.

Recessed lighting continues to play a starring role in lighting. Lighting installed under the upper cabinets adds task lighting with invisible fixtures. It’s the quintessential touch of minimal design and it is here to stay.

Even kitchen islands are minimalist. They will continue to serve dual purposes by providing prep and work areas as well as functioning as a dining space.

Appliances are carefully tucked away until needed. No more toaster on the counter, but instead ample cabinet space to store toasters and air fryers. Only the coffee pot or Keurig stays in sight.

Shaker Cabinets

Since the shaking Quakers arrived in the American colonies in 1774, they’ve set the design standard for simple, practical, and beautiful furniture and cabinets.

The religious sect may have only lasted about 150 years, but the simple recessed panel door that they designed endures in kitchens to this day.

Shaker cabinets aren’t going anywhere. And with so many semi-custom cabinet makers like Decora and Waypoint offering Shaker panel doors, there’s a reason Shaker panel cabinets show up in Orange County kitchen remodels on a regular basis.

Whether you prefer the modern, minimalist design or like living elements like flowers and fruit on display, Shaker cabinets will always be the perfect match.

Color Blocking

Just because kitchens are less fussy, doesn’t mean they are less interesting. Creating blocks of colors with islands and cabinetry is no longer just a passing fad. It’s an enduring trend that creates a timeless kitchen. In Orange County, custom kitchen remodeling projects have featured contrasting colors in the color blocking. In other areas of the country, color blocks are tone-on-tone.

No matter what approach you take, color blocking with tile or cabinet colors adds interest and is an enduring trend in kitchen remodeling. Use tile to create a color block on a wall or use the kitchen island to create a color block in the middle of the room.

Drawers Over Doors

A successful kitchen remodeling project makes the most of every inch of the room a kitchen has to give. Then it goes out and looks for more.

A trend that is certainly going to stay in 2022 is a preference for drawers over doors for cabinet storage. It just makes better use of the available space.

Deeper drawers for storing pots and pans make access easy and retrieving and storing cookware a breeze. Drawers hold kitchen and table linens, utensils, cutlery, and flatware.

This drawer provides storage space for pantry supplies and spices. And of course, because it is a drawer with a Shaker front, it gets two points for enduring.
