By / custom cabinets, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Four Advantages of Custom Kitchen Remodeling

Are you thinking about remodeling your Orange County kitchen, but still sitting on the fence? Now is the time to move! Custom kitchen remodeling brings an entirely new look to your living area, makes the best use of space, and offers a great opportunity to add elements you dream of.

When you incorporate custom kitchen cabinets as part of the kitchen remodeling project, you end up with quality cabinets to last for years.

Here are four advantages of custom kitchen remodeling for your Orange County home.

Open Concept Transforms the Living Space

Orange County homes liberally make use of the open concept in building and remodeling. So, when you transform your kitchen with a custom kitchen remodel, the transformation spills over into the adjacent living spaces.

Adding white kitchen cabinets not only makes the kitchen look larger but also makes the connecting spaces look larger as well.

When you improve kitchen lighting or seating, you improve the dining options or usage of adjacent spaces.

For example, this Irvine custom kitchen remodeling added extra light to the dining area and tied the two spaces together with wood flooring.

In this custom kitchen remodel, the kitchen opens up into the living area. Light spills from the kitchen to light the hallway, stairs, and living area too.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets Are Higher Quality

No Orange County custom kitchen remodeling project would be complete without updating the kitchen cabinets. Remodeling affords you the opportunity to upgrade your kitchen cabinets.

If you have stock or builder-grade cabinetry, now is the time to upgrade to custom or semi-custom cabinets. Custom cabinets are more affordable than you think.

You won’t find particleboard construction in your custom kitchen cabinets. They are made to last. Not only is the cabinet construction superior, but the hinges, drawer rails, and glides are of higher quality as well.

In the future, you can paint or reface wood cabinets if you decide you want to update the look without updating the entire kitchen. That’s not possible with stock and low-grade kitchen cabinets.

 

Custom Kitchen Remodeling Maximizes Space

Speaking of those custom cabinets, custom kitchen remodeling allows you to maximize the space in your new design. Ingenious custom cabinets provide new ways to store common items.

The move from cabinets to drawers provides more storage in the same space.

With custom kitchen remodeling, you get the space where you want it in your Orange County kitchen. Whether it’s pantry space or pull-out steps, custom cabinets in your custom kitchen put the items you want at your fingertips.

Remodeling Incorporates Missing Elements

When you built or purchased your Orange County home, you settled for the house that gave you the most of what you wanted at the time.

But over time, your wants can change. Kitchen remodeling is the perfect time to incorporate those new wants or add in the elements that have been missing.

Maybe you wanted a warming drawer, wine storage, or a beverage bar.  Remodeling affords the chance to take a space and make it your own.

In Orange County, no custom kitchen remodel is complete unless it includes an island. Inspired Remodels, Orange County’s inspired kitchen remodel company, dishes on what makes a kitchen island an asset, not a liability. From providing an extra dining space to adding an additional prep area, Orange County kitchen islands earn their keep.

Island-Style Dining

Island dining doesn’t always include ocean breezes, blue water, and tropical landscapes. In Orange County, you can enjoy a view of the Pacific with your bowl of cereal when Inspired Remodels adds an island to your kitchen. This is a kitchen remodel company that understands the versatility of the kitchen island.

Some want a casual dining experience.  This kitchen island provides seating for 3. When not in use, barstools tuck under the island. Legs add a table vibe to this kitchen island. Incorporating seating into the kitchen island converts this small kitchen into an eat-in kitchen. It’s island dining at its most functional.

 

Not all island dining is so informal. Now, this kitchen island can seat up to 12 or serve a buffet for a crowd. The more formal lighting gives the island a more formal feel. When you dream big, make sure you’ve got a kitchen remodel company that understands your vision.

Islands that Work

Kitchen islands offer a great opportunity to create efficient work triangles.  Work triangles create a kitchen where key elements such as the sink, stovetop, and refrigerator are places for easy access. When you reduce the number of steps between work elements, you create a more efficient workspace. Genius!

The kitchen remodel above updated a large kitchen space. Large kitchens provide plenty of room for the cook, but they also present a challenge. How can the cook work without running ragged? Too many steps are like too many cooks, they ruin the dish.

By placing the cooktop on the kitchen island, the kitchen remodel company reduced the number of steps between the sink, fabulous fridge, and cooking area.

Here’s another take on the working island. In this instance, the sink resides in the island with the range/oven combo behind the island and the refrigerator on the side of the island.

Sometimes just one island won’t do.

This Cota da Caza kitchen remodel incorporates islands for dining and islands for work. It’s a fearless commitment to island living.

Seriously, one island incorporates a wine fridge and a sink. The sink placement completes a perfect work triangle. The second island offers seating for 5 and additional storage. In a large space, these two islands provide retain the feeling of spaciousness for entertaining large groups while creating an intimacy perfect for family dining.

Orange County Remodeling Contractor Simplifies Interior Design

By / Bathroom Remodel, Home Improvement, Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Orange County Remodeling Contractor Simplifies Interior Design

Inspired Remodels, the premier Orange County remodeling contractor, creates stunning interiors. Interiors that show simplicity is often the most stunning element of design.

Simplicity in the Bathroom

You just can’t beat the simplicity of white subway tile in a bathroom. Go ahead, try.

This Mission Viejo bathroom gets a stunning makeover with simple white subway tile. Now, simply contrast the white with black and increase the wow and simply gorgeous factor. Next, pop a little interest in the niche with geometric designs.

That’s how you achieve a stunning design with simplicity. Black and white top the list of most important elements of simple design, but that doesn’t mean they are boring. Orange County remodeling contractor uses black and white to create simple but elegant bathroom designs

 

Check out how white and black come together for another simple and stunning bathroom look. This time marble steals the show.

 

Black marble tile adds visual interest with white veining. Is there anything simpler than black marble?

Add Shaker-style cabinets and add another layer of simplicity. Shaker-style cabinetry features clean lines and avoids fussiness at all costs. Whether you decide to use Shaker cabinets in the bathroom or kitchen, you’ll find they work and play well with other elements. Why? Because of their simplicity of course.

Simplicity in the Kitchen

Once again, black and white reign supreme when it comes to simple elegance. There’s no fussiness in this room. Cool, clean neutral tones and straight lines set the stage. As a result, the simple curve from the goose-neck faucet at the large sink is almost breathtaking. The same applies to the curved handles on the refrigerator. Straight-rod style handles might have been functional, but they wouldn’t have worked as well.

Now, look at the gentle curve of the crown molding. Simply stunning.

That’s just another example of Inspired Remodel’s keen eye for detail. No element goes unnoticed when they create jaw-droppingly simply elegant and functional designs.

And just because you want a clean and simple design doesn’t mean you must use black and white.

On the contrary. Inspired Remodels used tones from the Earth in this kitchen. Tan quartz countertops, mossy and grassy green tiles for the backsplash, and the orange of a brilliant sunset are the artist’s palettes in this room.

Notice the Shaker cabinets? But this time, the cabinet hardware is round. Drawer pulls offer a half-moon design that’s easy to grip and pull and circular knobs complete the look. Hardware plays an important role in kitchen design. Too often, it’s overlooked. But not when Inspired Remodels is on the job!
