Remodeling, updating, or modernizing a home often means comparing a wide range of new style trends, innovative features, and fantastic new layout options. The best way to do that is to visit a showroom. When you visit a DKB showroom, you have the ability to check out all of the latest products while getting a real, in-person feel for what the showroom offers.
A visit to a showroom like this is a must during the planning/renovation process. It allows you to see and touch the products, but also to get insight into the current trends and designs available to you. Most importantly, visiting DKB means you can speak to a knowledgeable consultant who can guide you. A DKB showroom appointment is the best way to do this.
Before getting your project underway, there are a few things you can do to make this a successful process.
Take Measurements of Your Space
Even if they are not perfectly precise, having some idea of the area you have to dedicate to your project helps the professionals at DKB make better recommendations for you. Measure the dimensions of your space as close to accurate as possible. Note things like where the water and drain lines are and anything that’s not likely to move.
That way, during your showroom appointment, your consultant can get a good idea of what the layout may be and what types of materials may fit your goals. The more information you bring with you, the better.
Set a Budget
How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen and bathroom? That’s often a question people ask, but the reality is it could be anything you want or need it to be. Coming in with an idea of how much you want to spend helps the consultant offer products that are within that budget.
This way, the consultant can help you prioritize your needs and narrow down the options based on your budget. It’s easy to find luxurious fixtures and features for your space, but there’s no value in considering those items if not within your budget. Clarify beforehand what to expect.
Make a List of Wants and Needs
No matter the budget, you should do some research on what you like and want to consider adding to the space. If you really want high-end features, consider what types of materials may be ideal for you, such as quartz, marble, or granite countertops or a freestanding tub. Have an idea of the layout you want to go for or even the basic needs that may change from what’s there now.
It’s a good idea to consider things like:
- Layout
- Types of cabinets and countertops
- Backsplash, flooring, and paint colors
- Added fixtures for a specific style (think prep sink)
- Energy-efficient items, like low-flow faucets or water-saving toilets
- More storage or different types of storage
Jot down everything you would like to accomplish within this space making sure to have a successful first meeting with your consultant.
Plan Your Design
When you meet with your consultant at a DKB showroom, you’ll have a professional who can create the design and layout of your space. You can help ensure this process goes well (and you get the most out of your appointment that you can) by taking a few steps before arriving.
Start with creating a rough design of your space. If possible, take some photos of the current layout of your kitchen or bathroom. Write down the problems, such as how hard it is to move around or the limitations on your ability to use various areas. Where is it too dark? What layout may improve things?
This information is helpful to the consultant because they can then give you more ideas, offer suggestions, and create a sketch of how your space may look. Ultimately, this makes your DKB showroom appointment a success.
Prepare Questions
This is a big undertaking and a significant investment in your home. Write down a list of questions about the entire process. You want to be sure you have a good idea of what to expect. Here are some common questions to consider:
- What is the design process like?
- What brands and product manufacturers are available?
- What type of warranty comes with the products offered?
- How long will you need to wait for the product to be available?
- What’s included in the price? What’s not included?
