How to Prepare for Your DKB Showroom Consultation Appointment
Whether you’re remodeling your existing home or planning to build your dream house from the ground up, there is a long list of decisions to be made. What layout makes the most sense for your space? Will the finishes you selected match? How much room do you need for the organizational features on your wishlist? Will the faucet you bought online look like the picture? The amount of questions you’ll encounter on your design journey can be overwhelming. That’s where DKB steps in!
Maybe you’ve already made an appointment, or maybe you’re still dreaming about a future project. Whatever the case may be, DKB Designer Kitchens and Baths offers you the chance to view, touch, and test a wide range of real products in real life. With the guided assistance of our showroom consultants, finding the right products for your home and mapping out your space’s design has never been easier.
Even though our team is ready to tackle the tougher questions that surround a remodel or new construction project, there are still a few things you can do as a homeowner to prepare for your personalized consultation appointment.
Take Measurements
With measurements of your room size and ceiling height, as well as taking notes of the placement of water drains, vents, and appliances, our professionals can choose products and make layout suggestions that work for the space you have. These measurements do not have to be precise; our team will take a more detailed measurement later in the design journey. Even a rough estimate of the measurements of your space helps our consultants make more personal recommendations for you and your home.
If you have plans to move appliances, plumbing, or walls, make sure to mention it during your consultation, as these changes will affect the layout and flow of your space.
Have a Budget in Mind
Remodels or new construction projects can vary widely in costs depending on a variety of factors including the size, grade of materials, and what type of space you’re creating. From basement powder rooms to sprawling luxury kitchens, DKB offers a wide selection of products to suit any space at any budget. It’s important to decide how much you’re willing to spend total and, if you are working on multiple spaces, how much you would like to allocate towards each area of the home.
With your budget in mind, our team can make thoughtful suggestions within your price range, ensuring that you are able to select the highest-quality fixtures and finishes for your space without breaking the bank.
Bring Your Inspiration
Regardless of budget, knowing the style and personal touches you’d like to include in your space is important. Maybe it’s the tile you selected for the backsplash, or the color you’d like for the walls. Maybe it’s the carefully curated Pinterest board you’ve been pinning to for years. Whatever your inspiration, bringing reference images, paint swatches, tile samples, or any other piece of inspiration you have to your consultation will give the consultant a better idea of your unique personal style.
Browse Our Website
If you’re unsure of where to start when gathering inspiration for your home project, our website (opens in a new window) is a great place to start. Browse entire selections of categorized products, or tailor your search for specific fixtures and finishes that fit your requirements. Our inspirational gallery (opens in a new window) provides a look at finished spaces and special features to give you a visual for what your space could be. Learn more about the wide selection of brands and lines we carry on our Brands page (opens in a new window), and research a variety of fun and informative topics on products, design ideas, and industry updates on our blog (opens in a new window).
Make a List of Wants, Needs, and Definitely Nots
It is important to know what features, finishes, and styles you want for your space. Making a list of what is non-negotiable and what would be nice-to-have provides our consultants with the information necessary to understand the vision you have for your space.
Make note of specific features, finishes, or products that are required to suit the needs of your home and family. Whether it’s the material and finish of pre-existing cabinetry or floors, a certain style of sink you have your heart set on, or the unique features of your space, it’s important to mention uncompromisable details so our consultants can ensure that these features are at the front of mind when considering your design.
It is also important to let our consultants know if there is anything you do not want included in your design. Giving our team an idea of finishes, features, or styles that do not suit your vision or personal tastes helps us only show you products we know that you will love.
Prepare Questions
No matter the size, budget, or details of your project, any home remodel or new construction is a significant investment in your home and future. Think about and prepare any questions you may have about the design process, products, and working with DKB. Common questions include:
- What are the steps of the design process?
- 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 comes included with the products?
