Ways an Orange County Kitchen Remodel Improves Functionality

By / Home Improvement / Comments Off on Ways an Orange County Kitchen Remodel Improves Functionality

Does your kitchen provide space in the way you want to use it? Do you need space for entertaining but have abundant storage room?  Is it a kitchen built for one in a family of 2 or 3 budding gourmands? A kitchen remodel provides an updated look to the room and should also improve functionality.

In other words, when you plan a kitchen remodel, do you consider more than finishes and appliances?  You should. Inspired Remodels considers how the room will be used in the design phase. So, the entire kitchen remodel focuses on making the most of the space and making the space fabulous.

Creating a Hard-Working Kitchen

For some cooks, the most important appliance in the kitchen is the microwave. This is where they make the Easy Mac and pop the Orville Redenbachers. To a serious baker, you aren’t going to get between them and their convection oven. But, bakers rely on their Kitchen Aid stand mixer as the workhorse. From kneading dough to mixing batters and frostings to making meringues.

The Orange County Kitchen Remodel incorporates a Kitchen Aid station in the island. There’s room to store the appliance and attachments, as well as a sturdy work surface for when the unit is in use.

That’s adding functionality!

Creating an Organized Kitchen

Everything has a place, and everything is in its place.

MasterBrand cabinets not only offer exceptional beauty and value, but they also know how to make use of space. And, Inspired Remodels knows how to use MasterBrand cabinets.   The integrated tired wooden cutlery drawer instantly turns that cutlery messes into a picture of the organization.

Do you love to entertain but feel your kitchen is the biggest obstacle to a successful gathering? Don’t let your kitchen stand in the way of a great party.
Inspired Remodels, the premier Orange County kitchen remodeling services company, has some great tips for creating a kitchen that is ready to party when you are.

Open that Kitchen

Let’s face it, these days people want to gather in the kitchen. After all, that’s where the tasty food and beverages originate.  So, take out walls and break down barriers between rooms. An open floor plan isn’t open if it doesn’t include the kitchen.

Notice that the kitchen is not only open to the adjoining rooms, but it opens to the outside as well. The pass through window allows easy movement of food, beverages, and dishes between the kitchen. What a great way to save some steps.

This open design literally opens into the patio area. When the French doors are opened, the kitchen becomes part of the patio and the patio becomes part of the kitchen. When it comes to kitchen remodeling services, it’s clear to see that Inspired Remodels thinks out of the box.

Include seating

If everyone naturally gravitates to the kitchen, they need a place to sit. Incorporate plenty of seating in your design. Keep the seating out of the work area, but close enough for conversation. The kitchen island is the modern kitchen table.

This kitchen include seating for four at the island. But wait, there’s more. A conversation nook includes two armless upholstered chairs. That makes this small space perfect for entertaining.

Every inch of space is put to use in this small kitchen. Abundant work surfaces leave the island open for guests to enjoy food or beverages while you enjoy their company.

Incorporate Storage

Entertaining supplies need space too. Make sure you include plenty of easily accessible storage for party ware. Because it’s a pain to run to another room for entertaining items like punch bowls or serving platters.

Drawers are perfect for storing linens, paper plates, napkins and disposable cups.  No running to another closet or out to the garage to grab your entertaining supplies. Drawers with inserts let you check inventory at a glance.

Notice how the beverage space is maximized when storage is incorporated? There’s one display cabinet and four other sets of cabinets to store entertaining supplies. Smart designs like this are just another reason Inspired Remodels is an Orange County favorite for design and build kitchen remodeling services.

Thinking about renovating your kitchen before the holidays?  Inspired Remodels, the premier kitchen renovation company, has some ideas for touches that will give you a kitchen to fall in love with this fall.  Just take a look.

 Use Patterns in Your Kitchen Renovation

Chevron patterns are everywhere.  We are finding them in upholstery, wallpaper, textiles and now they are even showing up in tile.  Check out this chevron pattern we recently installed on a backsplash.

This is tilework is practical, easy to clean, and adds timeless style to the kitchen.  Notice the use of grey?  Grey is the new white in interior design.

 Another popular pattern is achieved with subway tiles.  These traditional 3 x 6 tiles are available in an incredible color palate and their appeal is timeless.  Your kitchen renovation should be about creating a kitchen that you will fall in love with again and again.

When you stay with classic colors and lines you get a kitchen that is ageless.  Simply update the fixtures, lighting, and cabinet hardware when you are ready to freshen thing up. 

Task Lighting to Love

Your kitchen needs to be more than beautiful; it needs to be functional as well.  Having enough light to tell the parsley from the cilantro makes a real difference in the way your food tastes! 

You can make the most of natural light and augment it with lighting for ambience but the key to a kitchen you love is task lighting.  Task lighting gives you the light you need to get the job done.  Chopping, kneading and mixing are easier and safer when you can see what you are doing.

Lighting mounted under the cabinet is a way to add light to your work areas.  Notice how this kitchen renovation gets a lighting lift with under-cabinet lights.

Pendant lights are another fabulous way to provide lighting over an island or prep station.  Pendant lights direct the light exactly where you need it.  They are also available in a wide variety of finishes and shades to match any décor.   When you are ready to update, just change the shade and it looks like new lighting.

Little Touches – Big Impact

Sometime it’s just the little things that make you fall in love with your kitchen.  Cabinet door knobs and drawer pulls are more than just a way to open the door/drawer they are an inexpensive way to highly customize your kitchen and make it yours.

Cabinet Hardware.  Just take a look at this drawer pull.  Yes, it is functional, but it is beautiful as well.  Same for the cabinet door knobs.

Personalized Storage.  Make sure your kitchen renovation company understands your cooking style.  Incorporate storage where you need it most.  Do you like to stand over a simmering pot, stirring, tasting, and adding a dash of this or a touch of that?  If so, the unique storage drawer have you falling in love with your kitchen every time you cook.

Storage can also be used to transition from the kitchen to the living area.  This kitchen remodel included a transitional space that provides storage and display space and doubles as a wine bar too.  Perfect for the family that entertains from the kitchen area.
