5 Amazing Bathroom Remodels – 1 Orange County Bathroom Contractor

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Inspired Remodels creates amazing bathrooms to suit any style or taste. It’s easy for an Orange County bathroom contractor to fall into a rut, same design over and over again. Not so with Inspired Remodels. No two homeowners are the same. So, no two bathroom remodels should be the same either. Here’s a peek at the variety of work that’s happening in Orange County bathrooms.

Ladera Ranch Master Bath

A well-functioning bathroom begins with careful consideration of who will use the space and how the room will be used. In this case, the “master” bath serves the master and the lady of the house as well. Dual sinks, a double vanity, two mirrors, a shower, and a soaking tub meet the needs of both. With Inspired Remodels, you get more than an Orange County bathroom contractor, you get a bathroom designer as well. And because function forms design, the resulting room looks great and works wonderfully as well.

The built-in bench is perfect for personal grooming or just sitting and taking in the steam. The beautiful gray river rock reflects the natural beauty of the Ladera Ranch community. Not only does it bring interest to the shower floor, but it turns the niche from a functional storage spot to a focal point.

The simplistic but elegant look of the shower extends to the dual sinks and vanity. Here you find plenty of space, lighting, and storage to accommodate two people. Whether getting ready to go to the office, attend the next Zoom call, or enjoy a night on the town, two will never be a crowd in this bathroom.

Lighting Up Laguna Niguel

When you don’t have much space, an Orange County bathroom contractor must pull out all the tricks for making a small space look large.

Inspired Remodels knows that light is key to opening up a space. This Laguna Niguel bathroom remodel combines strong natural light and reflective surfaces to trick the eye into seeing space as larger than life.

By placing the vanity near a window, you maximize the use of natural light. White makes everything look larger. So, white cabinets and a white vanity open the room up. White tiles on the accent wall reflect light back making the appearance of even more space.

Of course, the show stopper is the door. Notice how the shape of the tile is duplicated on the design of the door? When one element of a room flows to the next, it flawlessly brings the eye with it. Everything appears just a bit larger than life.

Mixing, Matching, and Making it Real

Inspired Remodels is the Orange County bathroom contractor that’s not afraid to mix things up when a homeowner wants that special eclectic look.

Who says cabinet hardware and faucets must be matchy matchy? Not this homeowner and Inspired Remodels agrees. The black accents provided by the black cabinet and drawer hardware perfectly complement the tile floor. The sink faucet finish and the door hardware work with the color palette beautifully. This room would be boring with a faucet, door handle, and cabinet hardware that matched. A floor tile this amazing deserves an amazing supporting cast.

And finally, something completely different. The beauty of stacked stone, the elegance of ebony cabinets and mirrors create a bathroom filled with serenity.

Bathroom Remodeler Tips for an Awesome Bathroom

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Spa. Sanctuary. Retreat. Everyone is looking for it, everyone is talking about it. But can you define it? What comes to mind when you think of your own bathroom getaway? The answer is different for different people. A great bathroom remodeler gets that and doesn’t push the same design on every person. So no matter what you want, Inspired Remodels has some tips and ideas to make sure that your new bathroom fits your definition of spa, sanctuary or retreat.

Think Differently About Dual Sinks

Just because you want two sinks, it doesn’t mean you must put them together. Traditionally, dual sinks in a master bath or large secondary bathroom were installed in the same vanity.

You might take a wall and install a 60″ or 72″ vanity and top it with a countertop with two sinks. So, even though you’ve got two sinks, you still have two people side by side. Inspired Remodels thinks about space differently.

In the design above, a beautiful soaking tub divides two separate single vanities. Now this is creative thinking. What the bathroom remodeler did was create a space for two people but each person not only has their own space, they really get the feeling of their own space. Each user has a separate:

sink
mirror
lighting
cabinet for storage

Even though the space is smaller, the concept is the same. Two people can use the space and still feel like they have their own individual place.

In addition, this set-up takes advantage of the walls to provide each person their own personal towel loop. No sharing sinks, no sharing mirrors, and you don’t even have to share a towel.

This set up would be perfect for teens or children of any age that are sharing a bathroom.

Plenty of room to get ready for school in the morning.

No room for squabbling.

Certainly makes for a smoother morning routine.

Wood You Be Mine?

Would you be, could you be, won’t you be my neighbor. Mr. Roger’s song was about being a friend, but this design was all about getting friendly with wood.

Wait, except no one puts wood in a wet shower. But they do when the wood is actually tile.

These days, porcelain and ceramic tiles are fashioned to emulate almost any wood. Some are so realistic they incorporate the feel of wood grain.

This time the bathroom remodeler finished the freestanding soaking tub with faux ceramic wood tile.

The same tile is used on the floor of the bathroom.

Notice the floor of the shower in the picture above? That stone look tile isn’t stone. It’s ceramic and the color was very carefully selected to coordinate with the cabinetry in the room.

The cabinets have very clean lines as do the marble vanity tops. That’s why the extra touch of molding at the baseboards doesn’t look over the top.

Instead it’s just a finishing touch.

Shower Remodeling Ideas for Walk-in Showers

By Inspired Remodels / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off

Shower remodeling is tricky. The shower sets the tone for the entire bathroom. Get the shower wrong and the entire bathroom looks like a disaster. Here’s a little practical advice and some ideas to get you thinking about your next shower remodeling project.

Space Determines Shape in Shower Remodeling

Your walk-in shower size is determined by the space available. Think outside the box to make the most of the space you have. Showers can be curved, rectangular, square, and can tuck into many unlikely places. In the photo above, the shower was placed in the area between the door to the room and the vanity. Not the traditional space but it works perfectly to create the traditional rectangular shower space.

On the other hand, this space saving walk-in shower makes use of a corner. With a walk-in shower, you aren’t constrained by the size of a traditional tub. This corner shower is spacious and makes most of the room available. Using clear glass for the enclosure make the space look larger too. When you install light tile on the shower walls you visually make the room appear larger as well. The contrasting accent tile on the wall and shower floor provide texture and visual appeal.

Corner showers and curved showers make the most of a small space. So think outside the box when looking at the shape and size of the room.

Splurge on Shower Heads

Take your time selecting your shower head. First think about the finish. Brushed nickel, chrome, and rubbed bronze are all popular finishes. Select a finish that complements the tile color or provides a dash of contrast. Structurally, shower heads designs are categorized as vintage, modern, or industrial. Consider the finish and style of other bathroom fixtures when selecting the shower head. One walk-in shower doesn’t mean one shower head. Splurge on a rainfall shower head for those spa-like showers and a removable shower head for when you need to get down to business. The walk-in shower to the left may be small in size but it packs a punch with multiple shower heads. Use one at a time or all at once.

If you plan to use multiple shower heads, talk to the shower remodeling contractor before work begins. You may need to increase the size of the pipes coming into the shower to provide enough water flow.

Extras to Elevate Your Shower Remodeling Project

Elevate your shower with windows, benches, and niches. Incorporate any of these in almost any shower design. Niches provide storage for in-shower grooming products and benches provide a space to sit and enjoy them.

Niches and windows also provide an avenue to customize your shower as well. Frosted glass contrasts with clear. Contrasting tile shapes and colors adorn niches. As you enjoy the rainfall spray or sit and give yourself a good scrub you’ll be glad you took the time to add those little extras to your project.
