Kitchen Remodel Company Brings Function to Beauty

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen Remodel Company Brings Function to Beauty

When you remodel any room in the house, you want it to look awesome. But when you remodel a room as important as the kitchen, it needs to look good and work well.  After all, a kitchen is as much a workroom as a hobby garage. You need room to store the tools of the trade, do your work, and share your masterpieces. Any kitchen remodel company worth their salt (pun intended) can install attractive cabinets and counters. But it takes a special kitchen remodel company to create a space that’s a treat for the eye and the cook. Inspired Remodels does it on a regular basis. Here’s how.

kitchen remodel company creates floor plan based on triangle

The Kitchen Triangle

No, the kitchen triangle isn’t a sordid affair between the lime, salt, and chili powder. The kitchen work triangle refers to the arrangement of the major work stations in the kitchen. That’s the sink, the refrigerator, and the stove/oven. Each makes up one point of the triangle. No leg of the triangle should be more than 9 feet long. The sum of all three sides should be somewhere between 13 and 26 feet to be ideal. There are just too many steps if it’s larger.

This is some serious stuff. It’s based on time-motion studies on the most effective way for a one-cook kitchen to achieve true efficiency. While today’s kitchens often have more than one cook, the kitchen triangle or it’s cousin, the kitchen zone still creates a game plan for efficiency. The kitchen zone concept creates zones for food preparation, cleaning, baking, and cooking. These zones usually end up in a variation of the kitchen triangle.

Putting the Triangle into Action

Take a look at the lovely kitchen above. Pay particular attention to the stove in relation to the refrigerator. Next, see how the fridge is across from the sink?  Can you see the triangle in this kitchen?

Now can you see it? It might have been tempting to use the space next to the cooktop for the refrigerator and use the refrigerator wall to create a large work space. But the savvy kitchen remodel company understands that fridge door needs to be opened and closed several times during meal prep.

Had it been located next to the stove it would have saved steps, but it would have been awkward.

A functional kitchen flows. You move smoothly and without friction from one area to the next.

Can you see yourself working in this kitchen?

And speaking of working, notice the work area station to the right of the stove. When you take a hot pan out of the oven, there’s a place for it.

There’s ample room for the traditional 3 step breading station. And it looks great!

Kitchen Remodeler Says Hello to 2019 Trends

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Kitchen Remodeler Says Hello to 2019 Trends

Time to say goodbye to 2018 and 2019 trends. While some designs are timeless, others come and go. Inspired Remodels, the Orange County kitchen remodeler that designs and builds looks forward to 2019 trends.

Warmer Neutrals

Grey has been the new black and white for several years now. But in 2019, neutrals are ready to get warmer. While gray will still be popular, look for its iciness to be replaced by warm neutral tones.

kitchen remodeler mixes warmth of beige with cool grey for classic lookThis kitchen is a perfect example of how gray neutrals are warmed with beige. The earthy tones of the floor and chairs warm up the grey of the island and backsplash tiles.

These neutrals allow the countertops and sink fixtures to provide just the right pop of color. In previous years, that same countertop would have been used with cool grey, but this kitchen remodeler is warming things up now.

Pattern Tiles

The reign of single tone subway tile is quickly coming to an end. The savvy kitchen remodeler is adding color with the use of tile and grout. Tiles are taking on shapes and colors usually reserved for bathrooms.

In the past, this accent tile would be reserved for a shower or fireplace. But 2019 asks why? The mix of colors and geometric shapes is the perfect foil to the grey subway. This is clearly a kitchen in transition. But the warm floors and patterned tile accent wall lead the way in kitchen design for 2019.

Here’s another example of pattern tile in the kitchen. Sure, you still see gray subway tile and Shaker cabinets, but holey moley look at that tile! Intricate mosaic pieces, surrounded with accents and held together with almost invisible grout create a work of art. 

If you aren’t ready to give up the entire backsplash, let go of a little subway tile and add an accent wall to the kitchen. You’ll be so very 2019.

Curves

From lighting to exhaust hoods, things are getting curvy in the kitchen. Industrial style exhaust hoods still grace many a cook top, but the lines are changing. Boxes are loosing their sharp lines and stainless is getting sexy.

Gone are the rigid corners and boxlike hoods. These sensuous lines emulate the soft curves of nature and the natural human body. Curves bring serenity to an area (the cook top) that can be a literal hotbed of stress (pun intended.) That’s because curves are soothing to the eye.

Countertop corners are radius and even the back of the barstools are curved. No wonder this space feels so serene.
