Bathroom Remodel Company Creates Home Sanctuaries

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Bathroom Remodel Company Creates Home Sanctuaries

These days people are spending more time than ever at home. Whether you are working for home or confined under  a stay-at-home order, “home” has a whole new meaning. In Orange County, Inspired Remodels, a bathroom remodel company, is turning homes into sanctuaries.

The Concept of Sanctuary

A sanctuary is a place of refuge or safety. Traditionally, it is a holy place.  When you are threatened, fearful, or in danger, you turn to a sanctuary to protect you.

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the home has become a sanctuary. When the government tells you to shelter in place, it’s the place you want to be.

So, in a way, your home is already a sanctuary.

Why shouldn’t it feel like one?

Inspired Remodels believes that in all times (good and bad) your home is a place of refuge and every room should feel like a sanctuary, especially the bathroom.

Spa Sanctuary

Some bathrooms feel like a spa sanctuary. When you’ve had enough of flattening the curve, economic shutdown, and Dr. Fauchi it’s time to retreat.

Draw a hot or warm bath and soak. Relax surrounded by peaceful, neutral colors and finishes from nature.

While the current circumstances aren’t exactly what the bathroom remodel company had in mind when creating this bathroom, it was designed to be a place to relax and unwind. A refuge of a sort.  A bathroom sanctuary with a spa feel.

From the tile mosaic that starts as a backsplash and continues at chair rail height to add visual interest to the cool stone floors and vanity top, nature is all around you.

The soaking tub beckons you to slip off your clothes and slip into soothing, calming waters.

The simplicity of the shaker-style cabinetry and the clean lines of the dual mirrors complete the look.

Of course, the seashell accent finishes the look.

Who wouldn’t want to forget about viruses, face masks, and social distancing in this room?

Not looking for sanctuary in an Asian-inspired spa experience? How about an Italian escape? This bathroom remodel is heavily influenced by a rustic Roman aesthetic. 

Mix natural stone with man-made tile for contrast.   Use oiled bronze faucets to achieve a rustic farmhouse feel.

No simple shaker cabinetry here. This vanity is replete with moldings that border on Baroque. 

Frosted glass tempers the light in the room.

Close your eyes and you could be in Italy.

The craftsman’s attention to detail is clear in the shower. A simple space for performing routine hygiene is a work of art.  A niche provides convenience. The built-in bench beckons you to linger in this bathroom sanctuary.

Hello Spring – Interior Remodeling Company Updates Whole House

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on 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.

interior remodeling company uses contrast of light and dark in contemporary bathroomIn 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.

Let Inspired Remodels help you spring forward with a new look for your Orange County home. Whether you lean to contemporary or nautical, our design/model approach to interior remodeling reduces your stress and increases your pleasure with the final result.

Fresh Shower Remodel Idea: Tub in Shower

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Fresh Shower Remodel Idea: Tub in Shower

Looking to get the most of your shower remodel? Take a look at this year’s hottest trend: the freestanding tub in the shower. It actually saves room and maintenance time and money. Here’s why:

Shower Remodel Creates a Wet Room

So tubs and showers both require water. And the people that use them tend to get this water everywhere. Water is necessary in the bathroom. That means controlling water is necessary too.

By placing your freestanding tub in an enclosed shower, you create a “wet” room. Behind the glass, water can flow freely. Whether its in the tub or shower. When you step out of the tub, you are still in a “wet” area. When you turn off the shower, you are still in the “wet” area.

You don’t leave the “wet” area until you are ready to be dry. These wet areas are not only practical, they give the space a real spa-like feel.

This Aliso Viejo shower remodel created a luxurious wet area that keeps the water contained. Dual shower areas and a freestanding tub accommodate a variety of bathing preferences. From rain shower to a good long soak, the owner’s can indulge without creating a flood. They can even give the kids the splashiest of baths without water worries. Nice.

Simplified Design Saves

A shower remodel that puts the tub in the shower can actually simplify the design. You may even find that you save money. A dedicated wet area creates more of a blank slate. Get more flexibility in placing fixtures. Flexibility usually makes plumbing easier and less costly. You may find that a shower door isn’t necessary. Simplified glass design reduces glass costs.

When you create dry areas in the wet area, you get everything you need at your fingertips. Now that is a simplified design for simplified use. This towel bar is installed inside the wet area. It’s location will keep towels dry, keep them easily accessible and free up wall space in the dry area.

Maximize Dry Areas

By utilizing the “wet area” concept in this bathroom remodel, it was easier to maximize the use of the remaining dry area. Double sinks were easier to install. Instead of one large double sink vanity, the His and Her concept is pulled off with two single sinks on opposite walls.

Two people can easily use the sinks at the same time without creating a traffic jam. This bathroom remodel created a space that is beautiful and performs beautifully as well. Isn’t that what you want in a bathroom?
