Looking for kitchen renovation ideas? Look no further than Inspired Remodels, the inspired pros when it comes to Orange County kitchen renovation.

Here is a look at what’s cooking in Orange County.

Showstoppers

In design, a showstopper causes you to pause. You stop and literally pay attention to a design element. It can be something as large as a stone countertop with unbelievable marbling or as ingenious as an island that runs the length of the kitchen.

Which of these showstoppers takes your breath away?

Is it this kitchen in Foothills Ranch? Have you ever seen stone with such a unique design? The countertop drops jaws and sparks awe in everyone that walks in the room.

How about this kitchen in Santa Ana?

The kitchen island spans the entire length of the room. That’s an island with 5, count them, 5 double cabinets underneath. Which makes you stop and say “WOW”. Next, you probably start plotting all the cookware and appliance you could store in that island. Holiday dishes, special dinner dishes, you could even have special table service just for Friday – just because.

Of course, the lights are stunning as well. But they literally don’t hold a candle to that vast expanse of island.

Or imagine waking up to this kitchen every morning!

A simply stunning eat-in kitchen exudes so much sophistication you feel as if you’ve walked onto a Hollywood set, not a newly finished Orange County kitchen renovation project.

Details, Details, Details

The devil may be in the details, but so is style and functionality. These Orange County kitchen remodels pay attention to every last detail for rooms that look incredible and are an incredible breeze to use.

Take a look at the attention paid to lighting in this kitchen remodel.

How many types of lighting do you see? Let’s start with the recessed lighting overhead. High hats provide light to the entire space. Next, pendant lights illuminate the island. Because this space doubles as a workspace and eating area, lighting is crucial.

Now, how about those under-the-cabinet lights? That’s great for task lighting while you work and ambient lighting at night. Finally, take a look at the shelves. See how the top shelf is illuminated by top lighting?

Those are the little details that make a big difference in the results of a kitchen renovation project.

Next, take a look at this little detail that makes cooking so much easier.

Decora cabinet company offers many options when it comes to custom storage solutions. This Orange County kitchen renovation project incorporated a small pull-out cabinet next to the stove. Think of the steps you save when you have a mini-pantry right next to your cooking area! You know you need salt and pepper, but do you really want to leave them out on the countertop? Probably not. This little detail solves the problem.

Orange County Custom Kitchen Ideas

Looking to remodel your Orange County kitchen? Turn to Inspired Remodels to see what’s happening with Orange County custom kitchen remodels. Inspired Remodels converts dreams into dream kitchens. Not sure where to start? Add these ideas to your lookbook. What strikes your fancy?

Stunning and Chic

Sometimes the best looks happen when you combine two aesthetics into one. In this Orange County kitchen, you get a stunning and chic look. Let’s deconstruct.

Wood floors provide warmth to any room. They create a perfect foil to the cucumber cool cabinetry. Make custom cabinets or semi-custom cabinetry part of your Orange County custom kitchen remodel to maximize your storage and working area.

Shake up Shaker cabinets with recessed panels for a new take on an old favorite.

Speaking of contrast, check out the dark cabinets on the island and the lighter tones on the custom kitchen cabinets. Seems to go against the grain (pun intended) but it works! The white marble countertops complement the light cabinetry and contrast with the dark. No matter which way you go, you go in style. And the recessed panels make a return appearance here.

And how about these chic island cabinets? The herringbone pattern on the flooring adds interest and breaks up the straight lines found on the cabinets and countertops. Pure genius!

Splashing Color on the Backsplash

What makes an Orange County custom kitchen custom? Those personal touches add your signature style and there’s no better way to express yourself than with tile. Check out this Rancho Santa Margarita kitchen.

Neutral subway tiles receive an injection of color and pizazz with colorful decorative tile. Gray decorative tiles behind the stove play off the black countertops over the cabinets and the white countertop over the island. Geometric designs lend a timeless touch of customization to any custom kitchen remodel. And because tile is easy to clean, it’s the perfect material for the backsplash behind the stove area.

In this kitchen, mossy green glass tiles add a subtle splash of color to the otherwise neutral palette. In contrast to the Rancho Santa Margarita tile, which only added color behind the stove, this remodel used colored tile for the entire backsplash. It works because the tones are muted.

In this kitchen, the vibrant tones come from the cabinetry. So what better way to splash color on the backsplash than with geometric tiles in soft, grey tones?

The tile color reflects a keen eye for detail as it pulls together cabinet hardware, appliance finish, and countertop color. Just marvelous!

Take a Peek Inside Cabinets with an Orange County Kitchen Cabinet Contractor

By Inspired Remodels / custom cabinets / Comments Off

Thinking about a kitchen remodel for your Orange County home? Cabinetry makes up one of the most expensive elements of a kitchen remodel. From stock cabinets at the big box store to semi-custom from Waypoint or KitchenCraft, options abound. Let Inspired Remodels, Orange County’s premier kitchen cabinet contractor, clear up the confusion and teach you what to look for in kitchen cabinets.

Stock Versus Custom Versus Semi-Custom

Semi-stock, stock, and custom refers to the manufacturing method used to produce the cabinet.

Stock cabinets are mass-produced at the factory and ship fully assembled. Sometimes, you must do the Ikea thing and put them together. With stock cabinets, what you see is what you get. You might have a few options when it comes to door style and finish, but you cannot customize these cabinets. These stock cabinets are usually the least expensive choice. Not only are they cheap, you can get them quickly. If it’s in the big box store, all you need to do is drive over and pick it up. Stock is perfect when time is short and the budget is tight.

Custom cabinets live on the other end of the spectrum. They can be built on-site or off-site at a shop. These cabinets are completely made to order. Talk about labor-intensive! That’s why custom cabinets are the most expensive option and take the longest time for delivery. However, this is the route to go when you want unique and one-of-a-kind kitchen cabinets. They are also perfect if you have an odd-shaped space that needs a cabinet. The carpenter can measure and make your custom cabinets to fit.

Semi-custom cabinets are the perfect compromise between stock and custom. Think stock cabinets with all sorts of detailing options. You can change the finish, change the door, or change the hardware. That’s just the beginning. Semi-custom cabinets allow you to resize the cabinet drawers and door fronts and increase or decrease the cabinet depth. You get individual input into the cabinet design without laying out the cash for custom cabinets.
