Its the Little Things That Count for This Kitchen Contractor

By Inspired Remodels / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off

Does your kitchen contractor have an eye for the little things? Those simple touches that make the difference between a vanilla remodel and an inspired remodel? If Jason and Joe Mueller from Inspired Remodels are on the job you don’t have to worry. Their kitchen remodels incorporate the little touches that make every job custom.

Get the Lighting Right

Dimmable lights

This Trabuco Canyon remodel combines natural and artificial light to create a space that provides practical lighting for work and mood lighting for play. Natural light streams in through the window above the sink when wanted. Fabric blinds block the light when it’s not.

Under cabinet lighting is perfect for tasks such as mixing, cutting, and other activities where you really need to see what you are doing. Ever struggled to read a measuring cup? If so, then you know adding just the right amount and type of light is important. Your kitchen contractor should know this too.

When it comes to mood lighting, it might be tempting to use lights in the top of decorative cabinets. Resist the temptation. If shelves are solid, only the top shelf will get the light right. However, this remodel worked with a local carpenter to ensure the cabinets showcased their wares with backlights. Each shelf is illuminated. It’s just one of those little details an inspired kitchen contractor incorporates. Dimmable switches are another nice touch. If your kitchen is part of an open concept design, controlling the light from the kitchen area is important. Dimming switches make that possible.

Form Meets Function and Creates Fashion

Kitchens are work rooms. No matter if you are a daily gourmet chef or a week-end waffle wielding Brunch artist, your kitchen provides room to cook and eat. That means its a room that must be above all, usable. The right kitchen contractor incorporates those little things that not only make a room easier to use, they make it easier to look at. For example, this same Trabuco Canyon remodel needed to incorporate in-kitchen eating space. So, the island does double duty. No big deal, but what is a big deal are the additional footrests. These bring beauty to the space with their simple design and add function because it keeps shoes off the cabinets. Adults and children alike are guilty of scuffing island cabinets when eating. Instead of the owner spending time cleaning and repairing shoe damage to the surface, the kitchen contractor spent just a little time and material to incorporate a footrest. See, it’s just those little things that make a difference.

Hello Spring – Interior Remodeling Company Updates Whole House

Spring cleaning time is here. While some people are cleaning out closets and tidying up the garage, others are completely changing their entire home. Inspired Remodels, an Orange County interior remodeling company, is here to help. We won’t scrub the bathroom windows, but we will take tired old bathrooms and make them new again. Like spring flowers bring a breath of freshness to the yard, Inspired Remodels breathes new life into tired kitchens and bathrooms.

Interior Remodeling Transforms Cottage to Contemporary

The challenge: take a Laguna Beach cottage and transform it to a modern residence. The interior remodeling company: Inspired Remodels and brothers Jason and Joe Mueller. The result: a home with a tranquil, neutral hotel vibe that’s incredibly inviting.

In one bathroom, grey hexagon tile is cooling and soothing. Like a high-end hotel bathroom or a luxury spa, this tile sets the tone for the rest of the room.

The surface is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it is calming in its neutrality. That’s because neutral doesn’t necessarily mean vanilla. This floor is a great example of using dark and light tones as neutrals.

Contemporary beauty!

White subway tile contrasts with the dark wood ceiling and continues the spa feel to the room.

The clean contemporary lines continue with chrome fixtures, accessories, and vanity pulls. Integrated sinks are spacious while being incredibly easy to keep clean. Contemporary gets practical while keeping the flair and refinement of a jet-setting hotel.

Privacy glass in the windows allows light to stream into the room and is complemented by the frosted detail on the mirrors.

Contemporary Kitchen Remodel

Making good use of space was crucial to this kitchen remodel. Ingress and egress with sliding glass doors floods the room with natural light and artfully incorporates the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Light makes small spaces appear larger and this room makes the most of natural and artificial light.

The dark wood floor against the white and grey cabinets give the room a clean and finished feeling. This contemporary kitchen combines refined quiet and a clean sense of style.

The stainless appliances and chrome fixtures amplify the cool, contemporary look and banish any remainders of old, cottage style. An island and ample counter space provide plenty of room for multiple cooks. The island doubles as a base for entertaining as well as a spot for quick morning breakfasts.

This room works hard and looks good.

Contemporary Bathrooms

Two additional bathrooms were part of this total interior remodeling job. Using the same design elements as in the other rooms, two bathrooms were transformed into luxe, spa-like spaces.

Large hexagonal tiles on the wall continue the pattern from the floor in the first bathroom. Two dual outlets under the mirror provide all the power you need for charging electronics and energizing personal grooming appliances.

Chrome and brushed nickle accents and fixtures cement the contemporary vibe.

As in the kitchen, dark wood and light stone are the ying and yang that make this room look so complete.

The final bathroom continues the combination of dark and light to create a comfortable and contemporary space.

Dark wood floors contrast with light cabinetry as in the other rooms. The white cabinetry once again uses light to make the room appear more spacious. Contrasting wall tiles and countertop stone keep the room from appearing too vanilla.

Dark accents on cabinetry, mirrors, and lights provide just enough pops of color to keep the mostly monochrome palette feeling lively.

Spring cleaning this room will be a breeze in years to come. Hard surfaces resist water stains and easily wipe clean.
