by admin | Blog , Home Remodeling , Kitchen Remodeling , Top 10 Blogs | 0 comments

Looking to remodel your kitchen in 2024? You have probably caught yourself scrolling through Instagram for hours and saving trendy designs to your inspiration board. If that is the case, kudos to you for doing your research! However, when it comes to remodeling your kitchen, although trendy designs are eye-catching, it is important to note that they are exactly just that- trends. Most of the time, these designs can become outdated and that is the last thing you want for a kitchen remodel you are spending a good chunk of your income on. When remodeling, it is best to go for a timeless kitchen design that will stay in style for at least a decade and provide you proper function for your everyday needs without breaking down. What you want to aim for is a timeless kitchen design .

What is Timeless Kitchen Design?

A timeless kitchen is one that will meet your standards and last for years to come while maintaining function and design. The main timeless features in a kitchen to look at are flooring , countertops, cabinets , hardware, backsplash, and layout. Yes, your kitchen should look great and in-style, but it should also function properly without wear and tear for up to ten years. Trendy is great, but why not go for a design that will look and make you feel just as good or even better while lasting. With that, here are eight of the best timeless kitchen design ideas!

1. Use High Quality Materials

High quality materials may cost you a pretty penny upfront, but what most people do not realize is that it is a worthwhile investment . You are better off spending the extra few thousand now on grade A craftsmanship, then paying to redo 80% of your kitchen in a few years because you decided to go with cheaper cabinets and countertops that are just not holding up. It is also a safer decision to go with materials that you know you can trust. For example, travertine is a natural stone and is one of the more costly options for countertops or backsplashes, but because it is so durable when sealed properly, it makes for a great high-quality material for a timeless kitchen design. It is also gorgeous.

Another high quality material that can be used in your kitchen remodel is marble. This versatile stone is perfect for countertops and backsplashes, adding a touch of luxury to any space. Whether you prefer a sleek, polished finish or a more rustic honed look, marble can be incorporated into a variety of design styles!

2. Stick to Neutral Color Palettes

Bold colors can really add some fun to a room and may pique your interest if you gravitate towards a funky design. However, bold and bright colors tend to go out of style quicker than you think. Instead of choosing a bright yellow kitchen backsplash or an orange island countertop, utilize these bold colors in features that are temporary such as rugs, vases, or tablecloths. That way, you can enjoy these colors and incorporate them in your space without having to worry about your kitchen design being easily outdated. Instead, neutral color palettes are best for a timeless kitchen design such as white, beige, ivory, taupe, black, or gray.

3. Install Shaker Style Cabinets

Shaker style cabinets never seem to go out of style, which is why you will see them in most kitchen designs . From traditional to modern, shaker style cabinets can fit in almost anywhere. It is a classic cabinet style that works well with a variety of designs and is easy to upkeep. There are few areas on the cabinets to collect dirt, dust, or grease, giving this minimal effort to wipe clean. And not only do shaker style cabinets look appealing with its simple aesthetic, it also makes for a great canvas for hardware choices. There is a reason why these 1900’s cabinet design is still around in 2024.

4. Choose Natural Materials

Natural-materials-in-kitchen-remodel

Choose natural materials for your kitchen design. Materials such as wood and stone will give your kitchen remodel the earthy touch and feel it needs to keep your spaces grounded. Add travertine flooring made of limestone or a marble backsplash. A granite countertop or sink made of natural stone can push your kitchen design in a classic direction, while giving it a timeless design. An extreme modern design with engineered materials and shiny reflective elements can appear modern today, but may also easily date your kitchen in a few years.

5. Use Brass Accents

Brass accents can really make a kitchen pop with minimal effort. Small changes can make quite a big impact such as incorporating a brass farmhouse sink or brass cabinet pulls. In 2022, brass has crept its way into kitchen design as one of the most timeless décor pieces. A popular trend is utilizing brass along with all-white or neutral colors, making the accents pop even more. These brass accents are functional and enhance a kitchen design with a range in various styles- from rustic farmhouse to shiny modern with a hint of vintage. These metallic pieces can add color to your kitchen while making a timeless design statement.

6. Install a Quartz Countertop

Quartz countertops continue to trend in kitchen design and are here to stay, making it a timeless option. There are plenty of benefits that go along with choosing a quartz countertop. It offers an elevated look and has design that can mimic natural stone like marble, without costing you more for real marble stone. Quartz countertop has many pros including having a consistent color and pattern, easier to match veins for a seamless look, handles heat better, and is easier to maintain. In the long run, quartz is a countertop material that will be a great long-term investment in your kitchen remodel.

7. Create an Open Layout

Introducing 2 words in kitchen design that we love- wall removal! Do not be afraid to tear down those walls to create a larger open space layout. In fact, open-layout kitchens are here to stay. An open layout gives the opportunity to utilize space in a more functional way. By tearing down that wall and building a kitchen island with dining space encourages more engaging moments with the family while cooking dinner or talking story. It promotes more interaction and drives entertainment in a casual way. This timeless kitchen design will allow the energy to flow more fluidly throughout your space.

8. Add Storage Space In Style

Storage space is a must in a kitchen serving a large family or built to entertain, however it doesn’t mean it has to be done in poor style. Add hidden storage space to your kitchen remodel by including hidden lower cabinet corner pull-outs or even built-in lazy susans in your top cabinetry. This maximizes your space and makes life easier when you’re reaching for that pot that used to sit in the back of your cabinet.

A timeless kitchen design will provide what you need when it comes to aesthetic and everyday function. From a gorgeous quartz countertop with a brass sink, to an open layout for maximum flow and movement, a timeless design will make life more fulfilling and can save you money in the long run. Make sure to save these tips from our design experts to prepare for your next remodel!

With the 2024 housing market continuing the 2022 trend of rising prices and favoring sellers, folks are turning to remodeling with room additions and accessory dwelling units to get the space they need in their home.

Also let’s admit it; we may not be in quarantine anymore, but we’re all still spending a lot more time and home. So, is it the perfect time to start a home renovation project?

The world has certainly shifted over the past few years. People are getting back to basics and spending time with family. People are cooking at home more, working from home, and distance learning. This is a lot of change in life and habits while living in the same space. According to the National Association of Home Builders, this is a big reason why home remodeling is on the rise. People are redefining spaces with the help of professional designers that have the eye to reformat spaces to your new functional needs.

If you need help coordinating a home renovation project, contact Sea Pointe today.

How to Design Your Kitchen Remodel

Before You Begin Remodeling in 2024

Because home remodeling is such a big and costly project, we’ve organized a checklist you can use to start deciding where you can get the most out of a remodel. This checklist is intended to help you keep conversations and details in order to ensure your residential home remodeling project stays on-time and on-budget with all details tended to.

✔ Create a Plan

You want to get your priorities, budget, and ideas on paper. This is the beginning of your home remodeling organizer. Every project has a plan no matter the industry and home remodeling is absolutely no exception, just ask a home remodeling project manager. You’ll want to start with why you want to remodel – what is your pain point or motivation to remodel? For some people it simply may be to update an outdated space, and others may want a totally new home workspace for a new work-from-home lifestyle. Some folks may be considering Universal Design options to improve accessibility. No matter your purpose for remodeling, get it on paper so you always remember the why and make your design to this purpose.

✔ List Your Priorities

Now that you’ve nailed down why you need to nail down your non-negotiables. These are things that you must have to accomplish your “Why am I remodeling?” needs. Often times the “why” maybe that grandma is moving in, which means you may need accessibility provisions such as a zero-threshold shower entrance. Another priority for a home chef may be to have a sub-zero refrigerator or walk-in pantry. Your priorities should support meeting your goals and you need to write these down to ensure you communicate effectively with your remodeling firm or contractor.

✔ Document Your Budget

Home remodeling is not a low-budget item in the least, especially remodeling in Orange County. For this reason, it’s very important to understand where you will be getting the money from and how much you expect your remodel to cost. We often find that prospective remodeling clients are not at all aware of costs or how to budget for a project. Your remodeling firm will manage expectations with ranges that will vary based on the materials you choose. Figure out your bottom line and stick to it.

✔ Look at Remodeling Ideas

This is the fun part of your project! Document what features you want and save images to share with your designer. We always ask clients to show us 3 projects they love and 1 they do not like; this helps your designer understand your personal style and that makes designing much easier. You can include fabric swatches, paint colors, tile materials, and any design features that meet your fancy. You can get a jump start on this process by looking at our kitchen, bath, and whole home remodeling portfolios.

✔ Find a Contractor

15 ways to check references on your remodeler. The next step is to find your contractor. This may be the most daunting task involved in your whole remodeling project. There are over 600,000 contractors in the US of varying skill, honesty, and reliability. One of our clients shared that her Laguna Beach city inspector told her she made a good choice going with Sea Pointe Design & Remodel because there are plenty of general contractors that don’t complete the jobs, leaving clients with demolished spaces and pocket the deposit. Researching your general contractor is a must as there are too many unlicensed and uninsured people posing as licensed contractors. Be sure to ask plenty of questions. Ask to see the general contractor’s license, proof of insurance and California ID to make sure it’s the same name on all three documents. Check their reviews and ask for former clients you can contact to verify customer satisfaction. Ask to visit a job site to see how they keep their active construction jobs. There are plenty of great general contractors out there as well as design build firms pending your remodeling style. We created a handy checklist for doing your research before hiring your contractor: 15 Review & Reference Websites for Contractors>>

✔ Determine Type of Remodeling

You also want to determine what type of home remodeling client you are.

Complete DIY Remodel

Do you love home improvement and like getting your hands dirty? If the job is small enough, you can consider a DIY project! Be sure to scope out proper time and available hours in the days and weekends to accomplish the task and ensure everyone using this space is onboard with this timeline as DIY projects can have unexpected circumstances that stress the situation. If you don’t plan ahead for the time, space, and materials you’ll need, you may end up with an unusable space and interruption much longer than you anticipated.

General Contractors

General Contractor Remodel

If you’re not so handy but have the time to project manage the job yourself, you can hire a general contractor and a designer to accomplish a remodel. Pending the scale of your remodel, you may also need an architect; so consider the fact that at the initial project management phase you’re hiring 3 different construction professionals. Keep in mind on top of this, you’ll need to do your own shopping and have the materials on the jobsite when your contractor needs them.

Design Build Firm Remodel

An alternate approach is to hire a design build firm like Sea Pointe Design & Remodel. This is where all of your construction professionals are under one roof, including your designer, your project manager, draftsmen, materials purchaser, your builders, finish carpenters, and trade specialists. This is an all-inclusive approach to remodeling that takes a lot of the headache out and manages expectations the whole way through. With design build , you don’t sign a construction agreement until you have selected all of your materials and this way you will not get change orders or surprises along the way. General contractors on average have 30% in change orders, meaning you pay 30% more by the end of the project than you had anticipated. With design build all surprises are handled prior to the agreement.

General Contractors

Popular Home Remodeling Ideas

Understanding what is on trend and which items go in and out of style faster will help you keep your remodeling trendiness on the level you want. You want to keep the real trendy items to options that can be replaced affordably and without disturbing other parts of your remodel. For example you may consider exotic and trendy lighting features as these can easily be replaced in 5 years as opposed to having to tear out cabinets for replacement. Paint color is another opportunity to use trendy colors and update with relative ease when you grow tired of the color.

Minimalism

Minimalism has been on trend for years now and popular design seems to be continuing down this path. Because it allows you to transform any space very easily, this trend is growing among homeowners remodeling. With more people working and staying at home in recent years, homes across the US have been deep cleaning, organizing, and getting rid of unnecessary clutter. Creating minimalism in your home is quite simple; you start by eliminating items in your home that you do not need or use. This could include the Marie Kondo approach of: if it does not bring you joy, eliminate it. Minimalism also requires you to embrace white space, clean and clear countertops. So keep in mind that ample storage is definitely necessary for the minimalism design style.

Two-toned Cabinets

Breaking away from tradition, 2024 is embracing the trend of two-toned custom cabinetry. And dare we say it — our designers have even played with three-toned cabinets! This elegant design style lets you enjoy that bright white kitchen you dream of with a pop of color by having white on top and a color of your choice for your lower cabinetry. Two-toned cabinets are specifically popular in kitchen design and remodeling. There are so many options to choose from, check out the two-toned cabinetry installs below to see if any of these suit your fancy.

Statement Piece

Statement pieces are fantastic ways to stay on trend and have items that you can easily replace when a hot new trend catches your fancy. This is the piece that differentiates you, your home and personality from everyone else on the block. This is the one item you place in a space that stands alone and stands out boldly. You could say the pattern on the above backsplash is a statement piece or the hanging wicker pendants above are also statement pieces. A large piece of art can be a statement piece or an incredibly exotic lighting implement or consider physical art that takes up physical space on your floor, like a sculpture or ceramic display. There are so many options to choose from and these are the fun ones to shop for; it’s the one item that jumps out at you and steels your heart – this is your statement piece for your home remodel.

Large windows LET IN LOTS OF BEACH LIGHT

Large Windows

Open clean spaces are on the rise along with minimalism design. Large windows let in the light and nothing makes a space feel more open, airy and inviting than plenty of natural lighting shining in your home. This gives you another accessory to add to your remodel list; when you have large oversized windows with plenty of light, you also want to have the option of privacy. Whether you choose shutters, blinds, or curtains, there’s plenty of fun to be had in selecting window coverings. Window coverings for your new large and oversized windows are also necessary to prevent bleaching of your furniture from too much sun exposure. You want to protect your investment but let the light in when you’re entertaining.

The 2024 Home Renovation Checklist

You are more than well on your way to being prepared for a 2024 residential home remodel. Be sure you’ve documented everything we’ve shared and you have combined all of your documents into your 2024 personalized remodeling guide so you can share with your designer, draftsmen, and general contractor or your design-build firm of choice.

Outdoor kitchen remodeling employs California room structure

Outdoor Entertaining Spaces

Living in southern California gives us the greatest ability to enjoy our backyard over any other state in the US.

Floor Plans

This may be one of the items that escapes you if you’re not a professional designer. Space plans and floor plans are everything when it comes to defining the function of the space, and how its used. You may simply be going for a design refresh but have you thought of moving things around to make your home flow better. We often find that when you share your goals and challenges with a designer that they can turn around a solution that’s pretty mind blowing by moving a few things around. Your designer will provide you with a new professionally designed floor plan to meet your form and function needs to make your home a better place to live in.

Kitchen Renovations

Kitchen remodeling is where we started our design build firm in 1986 and how we have grown to do whole home remodeling. Kitchen renovations are in big demand right now with new space needs due to shelter in place orders. Some folks are adding filing cabinets to one side of their island to use this space as multi-purpose space. The options available for design in kitchen remodels in 2024 is incredible. There are 40 different custom cabinet insert and accessory options alone. If you are selecting to remodel your kitchen in 2024, consider discussing the redesign with a professional kitchen designer to get the most function out of your existing space or even consider re-configuring the space for better kitchen function.

Bathroom Remodels

Bathroom remodels are also in high demand with trends shifting from the big deck tubs of the 80s to free-standing tubs . Free your tub! Some folks are ditching the tub idea altogether and opting for an oversized shower with frameless shower door enclosure and floating bench. Some folks are adding saunas to their bathroom remodel and some incorporating steam showers, The amenities available to your bathroom remodel are limitless these days. Take a peek below at a couple incredible bathroom remodels that Sea Pointe Design & Remodel has remodeled in the past year. Some stunning tile work as well as beautiful design.

Flooring

Flooring options are also changing with time. Real wood used to be the end all, be all and now folks are favoring manufactured material that is much more durable than wood but looks exactly like natural wood. Vinyl flooring is the newest trand in flooring and you cannot tell the difference with the naked eye. Vinyl flooring comes in a variety of shades and textures just like real wood and gives you an easy to maintain floor. You can mop vinyl floor and not worry about spills. Vinyl flooring also stands up to wear and tear much better than traditional wood flooring.

That’s not to say that there aren’t thousands of flooring material available and plenty outside the vinyl flooring options. There are many stone tiles that have beautiful design. These stone tiles come in cement, ceramic, natural stone, and porcelain. Talk to your designer about your tile material as certain tile is more porous than others and more difficult to clean. Plan up front to get flooring that’s easy to maintain while also beautiful.

Appliance Upgrades

Another item to look into when remodeling your home is appliance upgrades. There are so many new features that make your home smart home enabled that you really want to evaluate what to put into your smart home. Do you want climate control that you can manage with an app? Would you want to have a teppan grills on your range? How about a smart refrigerator? There are so many ways to make your home function for you better. Work with your designer to learn about all the changing features in smart homes. Check out the marble lined custom beverage center designed by one of Sea Pointe’s professional designers. Or the custom range and hood in the kitchen; this is definitely over-the-top custom appliance upgrades.

small-bathroom-remodeling-ideas

Turn your small bathroom space into one that you love with these design tips and tricks! Our professional designers have designed many small bathrooms as more and more people are looking to remodel their homes since that is where we are spending most of our time these days. If you have a smaller-sized bathroom space in your home, there are still design tricks that can give the illusion of a larger space while offering great functionality while still maintaining a beautiful design. Here are what our experts suggest!

1. Natural Light

Adding a skylight or windows that allow for natural light to spill in your bathroom, can really enhance the space. By allowing in more sunlight, the space becomes brighter and appears larger than what it is. We get the fresh and open feeling. This bathroom remodel we designed and built in Huntington Beach also includes a nice area for easy access to towels. Including storage space where you can in a smaller space is essential!

2. Floating Shelves

Floating shelves above the toilet or alongside the vanity make for the perfect place to show off your décor or to place toiletry items, which open plenty of counterspace. With a design like this, you can store more items in the bathroom such as towels, tissue paper, and pleasant items like flowers to enjoy. With more countertops space, you can also have more room for simple everyday things like setting your phone down and display of soaps and lotion. This is great for small bathroom remodels since every inch of counterspace matters.

3. Storage Space

Even with a smaller bathroom space, there is still room for great storage options. For easy access to toiletries or towels, an open shelf is very functional underneath the vanity. Adding in drawers below the vanity serve for good purpose too! You can have the best of both worlds with hidden and open storage space.

4. Built-in Stool for the Kids

built-in-stool-for-kids

Sometimes smaller spaces in bathrooms means no room for extra things like step stools for the little ones. Our designers take your everyday needs and work with you to design a space that makes sense for your design and use. Check out this bathroom remodel we designed and built in Laguna Beach . From the cabinet storage space under the vanity to the bright white walls, the small space has the illusion of a larger bathroom. This bathroom, perfect for the kids includes a built-in step stool under the vanity! How adorable is that! This design is the definition of cute and efficient at its finest.

5. Built-in Tub and Shower

Why not take full advantage of space? For those who love their occasional relaxing baths, but still need their stand-up shower, this design is fitting for you. This option with a glass door allows for a more seamless design that also gives the illusion of a larger bathroom. Adding little tricks like this to your design will make more efficient everyday use of your small bathroom. Even if you wanted to go for a spa day and take a nice bath, you can easily rinse off after in the connecting shower.

6. Glass Walk-in Shower

Another design trick our professionals recommend is to have the glass wall for a walk-in shower with a seamless floor. Here is a bathroom design we built in Irvine that showcases this perfectly. The way the wooden floor flows into the shower give this bathroom the illusion it is larger than it is. Adding the window for natural light to pour in and the floating shelves above the vanity were also amazing features in this design.

7. Reflective Backsplash/Wall

A reflective backsplash can do wonders! The way light bounces off the backsplash tiles in this bathroom enhances the appearance. From reflective horizontal mirror tiles to mosaic marble tiles, you cannot go wrong with a design like this. The way the light reflects off the backsplash is such a captivating design. This is another trick our experts suggest if you are going for a more glam or elegant aesthetic as well as looking to brighten up the overall space.

9 Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for Your Dream Remodel

by admin | Blog , Kitchen Remodeling , Top 10 Blogs | 0 comments

Looking to gather inspiration for your kitchen remodel? We all know there are many elements to completing a full kitchen remodel . From the cabinets , to the countertops , to the overall color scheme, our designers work with you to ensure your dream kitchen is brought to life. Every aspect is important, but there is one element that can really bring your kitchen that cohesive aesthetic- the backsplash. Here are 9 kitchen backsplash ideas for your kitchen remodel!

1. Backlit Backsplash

A kitchen design with backlight showcasing the backsplash is perfect for you if you are looking for more luminance. Although this may look gorgeous at night, just be cautious that splash marks from cooking may be more visible with the lighting, so routine care of the backsplash will be necessary! Another factor to keep in mind will be the color of the bulb and if you prefer a whiter appearance, then going with an LED light may be best.

2. Subway Tile

Subway-tile-kitchen-backsplash

Whether the backsplash is made of porcelain white brick or black matte, subway tiles never go out of style in kitchen remodels. Sea Pointe Design & Remodel has designed and built many kitchens over the years that continue to use this simple, yet timeless design. Because the style is simple, it tends to compliment most décor and other features in the kitchen. It’s safe to say that subway tiles are here to stay.

3. Textured Backsplash

Textured-Kitchen-Backsplash

Adding a textured backsplash to your kitchen design is a great way to insert detail in a unique way. This can also typically be easier to clean compared to tiles because there is no grout. This is a gorgeous example of a woven backsplash that adds amazing texture to this kitchen remodel Sea Pointe has completed in the city of Orange. The backsplash adds texture and detail to this remodel while still complementing the white cabinets and quartz countertops.

4. Patterned Backsplash

Kitchen lighting and backsplash

Looking to add a fun backsplash to your dream kitchen? Here are two examples of patterned backsplashes Sea Pointe has built in kitchen remodels. If choosing a patterned backsplash that has bold colors with details, it is best to pair this with contrasting cabinets to bring the pattern out. This will draw your eyes to the backsplash, giving your fun kitchen that extra pop!

5. Mirrored or Metallic Backsplash

Metallic Backsplash Looking for a more elegant touch? Another backsplash design we love is mirrored or metallic . These look stunning especially when the light bounces off the tiles. The use of this design style has the illusion of making your kitchen appear brighter and bigger. You will often find this design style used when staging a home for sale through the use of mirrors facing windows or large rooms; making your home appear larger than it is can be one of the most appealing design aspects available.

The first backsplash referenced above is an example of a glass metallic mosaic tiled backsplash completed by Sea Pointe in Ladera Ranch. The next show piece backsplash is in a stunning kitchen that was designed to the nines with a custom mosaic backsplash with mirrored pieces built in Coto de Caza. Up close, you can see as you move through the kitchen, the light bounces off and follows you, giving this kitchen that glamorous dimensional feel. If you are looking for a wow-factor design, this is the way to go!

Other metallic backsplashes are also available in matte finish, making the material still a statement piece while minimizing the glare you may catch out of the corner of your eye. If you’re looking for unique design elements and statement pieces, metallic is always an option for most surfaces, whether shiny or not, metallic stands out as another texture that brings beauty and dimension to your kitchen.

6. Accent Backsplash

Accent-kitchen-backsplash

Accents are a great addition if you are looking to showcase more than one backsplash. Popular designs are using contrasting colors for the accent and backsplash , however complimentary colors and patterns work as well, like in the kitchen above we designed in San Juan Capistrano. If going for a contrasting accent, keep in mind the color of your countertops and cabinets. It is typically better to have the backsplash complimenting those other features you have in your kitchen, so it does not distract too much from the overall design, but still brings it a cohesive look.

7. Ceiling Height Backsplash

Ceiling height backsplash

A ceiling height backsplash is great for a kitchen design that does not have many cabinets, as it adds texture to your kitchen. This kitchen remodel designed and built by Sea Pointe in Huntington Beach showcases a perfect example of a sleek ceiling height backsplash. The white subway tile backsplash adds texture while complimenting the rest of the lower cabinets and making that blue island pop, without taking away from the overall design. Also, covering more surface area, this allows for the backsplash to carry a heavier presence throughout your kitchen.

8. Matching Counters and Backsplash

A design with matching countertops and kitchen backsplash gives your kitchen a very cohesive aesthetic. Carrying your quartz countertop up along to your backsplash tends to also be easier for cleaning. There are no detailed wedges or grout to scrub down, making this a simple and sleek design option.

1. Natural Tones and Metal Materials Trending in Interior Design

Trending in design for 2021 , is natural earthy tones along with metal pieces. With more time in the home, we have become more in-tune with pausing to appreciate nature. We’re not moving at 100 miles per hour as before and we finally have time to take a step back and really take in and appreciate the environment around us.

Pantone_2021_Classic_Colors

With that, according to Pantone’s Fashion Color Trend Report, we are going to see a trend in warmer colors making its way into our palettes in Spring and Summer of 2021. This goes for fashion week, interior design, and more. Core classic colors that make the cut include Desert Mist – a powdery sands feel, Willow – a canopy of green that reveals and conceals and Buttercream – an easy and effortless off-white.

More playful earthy tones include Marigold – a comforting golden orange infused yellow, Cerulean – a color of the sky, Rust – an Earth inspired brown emblematic of Autumn, Green Ash – one that cools and soothes, Burnt Coral – expressing warmth and Amethyst Orchid – the floral orchid.

Metallic interiors are expected to trend in 2021 as metal materials compliment natural tones. Examples, Sea Pointe Design & Remodel has worked on include these gorgeous kitchen remodels designed and remodeled by Sea Pointe Design & Remodel. From earth-toned trimming on the black hood to a kitchen island with metal touches with appliances and pendant lights, these kitchens showcase top remodeling trends in 2021. Homeowners are gravitating towards a natural airy feel, making their spaces feel larger while keeping it simple and timeless.

Metal_Sink

Another kitchen remodel we love that incorporates metal is this sleek design by Sea Pointe Design & Remodel. This kitchen remodel includes a hammered metal sink built into the kitchen island. The metal pairs perfectly with the matching stainless steel appliances found throughout the rest of the kitchen. We also see white and dark blue-toned cabinets that make this a design that will continue to blossom in 2021 and beyond.

2. Simple and Functional Kitchen Island Features

In 2021, we will see simple and functional design in remodeling continue to thrive. With more time spent at home and especially in the kitchen with less eating out, a few examples of functionality include Kitchen island storage, integrated dishwasher, pull-out garbage and recycling cabinet or spice rack as well as more pantry shelves for food storage.

3. Indoor Outdoor Living Spaces

Trending in 2021 are also more remodels that include outdoor living . It’s nice to be able to walk outside your home and still be able to gather with family or just work remotely in your backyard in our very agreeable southern California weather. Creating a space to bring nature and the outdoors to your home without leaving is key. This California Room with herringbone pattern flooring and a bright white shiplap feature wall, elevate the design of this outdoor space. We will see more outdoor living and entertaining spaces as well as more fully functional California Rooms in 2021.

Here is another calming example of a California Room designed by Sea Pointe Design & Remodel in Coto de Caza. This California room features everything one could want in a smaller California Room. The kitchen area boasts a barbecue and refrigerator with the kegerator across the way where the living space is. Weather proof cabinetry has been installed to stand the test of time with Bedrosians Quartz stone countertops . This California Room is set to host every event you’d want to host.

Another example that includes a casual gathering area for close family members to get together is this beautiful California Room Sea Pointe designed and built in Villa Park, California. We have come to really appreciate nature more and this also allows for a more relaxation, alleviating some anxiety and instead bringing a more calming vibe.

4. Larger Kitchens and Dining Space

Corona_Del_Mar_Kitchen_Reodel

Larger kitchens that incorporate more dining space are set to trend in 2021 and on. During the Covid-19 pandemic, more families are spending time at home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so we are seeing more remodels that include a kitchen island that has dining space attached. Above, are great examples Sea Pointe has done in Corona del Mar and San Clemente. Both of these kitchens show off design with dining space included, for the perfect spot to entertain family or guests while meal prepping. Leading into kitchen countertop materials , quartz has become very popular over the years because of its easy-clean surface and ability to mimic designs like natural stone and granite.

Quartz_countertops

According to National Kitchen and Bath Association , 78% of those surveyed say Quartz will be the most popular countertop for at least the next three years. For those not so well versed in stone, quartz is the manufactured version of the natural stone quartzite. This means it is typically more affordable, but not always, pending colors and brand selected. This is also a trend for 2021 that we will continue to see in home remodeling.

5. Work from Home Office
