What’s Happening with Custom Kitchen Remodeling

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on What’s Happening with Custom Kitchen Remodeling

Ready for a new kitchen in 2021? Look what Inspired Remodels has been doing with custom kitchen remodeling in Orange County. Get inspired or compare your ideas with what’s happening with other Orange County kitchen remodeling projects. Either way, 2021 is a great year for new cabinets, more meal prep or storage space, or the addition of a bar or wine storage.

Drink Where You Eat

Inspired Remodels finished a few custom kitchen remodeling jobs where the entire focus wasn’t on meal prep and dining. The kitchen provides a great space to incorporate a bar or a space for beverage storage. Check this out!

This Dove Canyon custom kitchen remodeling job includes a lovely and spacious wine storage space. Faux brick wall offers a rustic look. Refrigeration keeps wine and correct temperature and abundant lighting keeps the area looking spectacular.

A recent Mission Viejo custom kitchen remodeling project added a complete bar area off the kitchen. As a result of this upgrade, everyone delights in the stunning clean lines and subtle lighting.

Looking for small scale wine storage? So, install a built-in unit under the cabinet. Just dedicate the space of one cabinet and multiply wine storage space.

Herringbone Everywhere

In 2021, herringbone shows up everywhere. Find herringbone on backsplashes and floors. Herringbone provides an economical way to incorporate a chevron-like pattern. That’s because herringbone forgoes the mitered edges. Still, get a spectacular look.

Subway tile gets a new look! Seriously, staggering the tile in a herringbone pattern makes ordinary subway tile anything but ordinary.

Herringbone improves the look of planks on the floor as well. Add visual interest to your backsplash and floor elements with your next kitchen project.

Custom Kitchen Remodeling 2020

By / Kitchen Remodel / Comments Off on Custom Kitchen Remodeling 2020

Custom kitchen remodeling is big in 2020. People are staying home more and eating at home more. The kitchen in 2020 must be functional and beautiful. If you’re thinking of custom kitchen remodeling, here’s what your neighbors are doing in Orange County.

Making the Most of What You Have

What makes a custom kitchen custom? It’s those little custom touches that set your kitchen apart from the others. Little things like designing for every inch of space.

Hidden drawers in the toe kick space provide a place for sheet pans and other flat items to snuggle in out of site. Wasted space becomes WOW space in an instant. Who would have thunk it? Inspired Remodels!

Perfect for the vertically challenged.

And even for those that aren’t. Since most everyone needs help reaching those top-most cabinets, convert kick space into a pull-out step and easily reach those hard-to-reach uppers. 

If you aren’t using the kick space for storage or step stools, then you aren’t making the most of what you have.

But those aren’t the only ways that custom kitchen remodeling can add little touches.

This space isn’t large enough for a full-size cabinet. While some custom kitchen remodeling contractors may just cover the space with a false front, not Inspired Remodels.

This Orange County kitchen makeover made the highest and best use of all space available.

Spices and herbs are stored in a pull-out spice rack that’s large enough to accommodate even the largest selection of flavorings.

Enhance the food and enhance the cooking experience. That’s the Orange County kitchen in 2020.

Kitchen Islands are Cool

2020 has everyone dreaming of an island getaway. In the kitchen. That’s because kitchen islands are hot. But the hottest kitchen islands keep their cool through the use of color, texture, and surface elements.

This kitchen island keeps its cool through the use of a pale paint color. It’s a spectacular complement to the white and stainless steel tones used elsewhere in the kitchen.

White marble on the island countertop reduces the visual temperature by 10 degrees. The CFL lights in the fixtures above provide light without heat. Cool.

Then once the meal is ready to eat, it provides a spacious spot to savor the latest creation.

With seating for four, this island doesn’t run the cook ragged as serving and clean up are a cool breeze.

Clean lines from the Shaker-style cabinets and brushed nickel hardware also contribute to the cool, clean look.
