Kitchen Remodel Company Dishes on Islands

By / custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen Remodel Company Dishes on Islands

In Orange County, no custom kitchen remodel is complete unless it includes an island. Inspired Remodels, Orange County’s inspired kitchen remodel company, dishes on what makes a kitchen island an asset, not a liability. From providing an extra dining space to adding an additional prep area, Orange County kitchen islands earn their keep.

Island-Style Dining

Island dining doesn’t always include ocean breezes, blue water, and tropical landscapes. In Orange County, you can enjoy a view of the Pacific with your bowl of cereal when Inspired Remodels adds an island to your kitchen. This is a kitchen remodel company that understands the versatility of the kitchen island.

Some want a casual dining experience.  This kitchen island provides seating for 3. When not in use, barstools tuck under the island. Legs add a table vibe to this kitchen island. Incorporating seating into the kitchen island converts this small kitchen into an eat-in kitchen. It’s island dining at its most functional.

 

Not all island dining is so informal. Now, this kitchen island can seat up to 12 or serve a buffet for a crowd. The more formal lighting gives the island a more formal feel. When you dream big, make sure you’ve got a kitchen remodel company that understands your vision.

Islands that Work

Kitchen islands offer a great opportunity to create efficient work triangles.  Work triangles create a kitchen where key elements such as the sink, stovetop, and refrigerator are places for easy access. When you reduce the number of steps between work elements, you create a more efficient workspace. Genius!

The kitchen remodel above updated a large kitchen space. Large kitchens provide plenty of room for the cook, but they also present a challenge. How can the cook work without running ragged? Too many steps are like too many cooks, they ruin the dish.

By placing the cooktop on the kitchen island, the kitchen remodel company reduced the number of steps between the sink, fabulous fridge, and cooking area.

Here’s another take on the working island. In this instance, the sink resides in the island with the range/oven combo behind the island and the refrigerator on the side of the island.

Sometimes just one island won’t do.

This Cota da Caza kitchen remodel incorporates islands for dining and islands for work. It’s a fearless commitment to island living.

Seriously, one island incorporates a wine fridge and a sink. The sink placement completes a perfect work triangle. The second island offers seating for 5 and additional storage. In a large space, these two islands provide retain the feeling of spaciousness for entertaining large groups while creating an intimacy perfect for family dining.

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!)

Orange County Custom Cabinets For Kitchens and Bathrooms

By / Bathroom Remodel, custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Custom Cabinets For Kitchens and Bathrooms

Custom cabinets are the ultimate addition to your kitchen or bathroom renovation project. In Orange County, custom cabinets show up in living rooms and dens too. When you opt for custom cabinetry, you get the exact fit, look and finish you want. And custom designers like Schrock, Decora, and Waypoint are ready to deliver.

Custom Cabinets are More Affordable Than You Think

So, do you think custom cabinets aren’t in the budget? Think again. Cabinet-making has changed. Hence, custom cabinet pricing has changed too.

Much of today’s custom cabinetry is actually semi-custom cabinetry. Manufacturers like Schrock design and engineer standard cabinets. But, they don’t make them until you order them.

As a result, you can change the dimensions such as length or depth, specify the finish and doors, and add the trim of your choice. Once you make these final decisions, then work begins on building the cabinets.

They are delivered to your Orange County home ready for Inspired Remodels to install.

Now you benefit from all the details of custom cabinetry but at a price point that’s much lower.

Orange County Custom Cabinets in the Bathroom

Bathrooms are a great spot for custom cabinetry. They give you the freedom to maximize the space you have. Create a luxury spa bath, even in a small room.

The furniture style cabinets in this Mission Viejo bathroom contribute to a sleek and modern look. Mirrors and glass enhance the contemporary feel.

This Irvine bathroom remodel features cabinetry that also creates a seated vanity. There’s a place to sit and use the Robern mirror for cosmetic application. Talk about luxury. And the recessed doors on cabinets and drawers provide a subtle elegance to the bathroom.

Cabinets for the Kitchen

Custom cabinets come into their own in the kitchen.
