Finding inspiration for a kitchen renovation can be easy to do online and by watching popular remodelling shows. 

If you’ve ever wondered how you can get a real feel for how different fixtures, colours and textures will look in your home, visiting a kitchen showroom is the perfect option. Kitchen showrooms allow you to see and feel all the options available, and you can speak with experienced kitchen designers whose job it is to turn dreams into realities. 

They can help you make the best decisions for your style and budget and help your modern kitchen design project move along more smoothly and cost-effectively.

For over forty years, Deslaurier has been designing custom kitchens in Ottawa and knows just how important it is to visit a kitchen showroom when planning kitchen renovations. We take pride in our industry knowledge of suppliers and cabinet makers in the region and in helping our customers design their ideal kitchens. 

Below, we will discuss the importance of visiting a kitchen showroom as you plan your renovation and then highlight four fantastic showrooms for custom cabinet makers in Perth, Ontario!

The Importance of Visiting a Kitchen Showroom

There are so many decisions to be made when you are remodelling a kitchen. It can easily feel overwhelming. Adding some kitchen showroom visits into your planning can make the renovation experience more enjoyable and less stressful for several reasons. 

The main two we are going to talk about are the benefit of combining many of your renovation decisions in one place and being able to see and feel materials up close and not stressing if things you order will look the same when they arrive. Let’s talk in detail about each below.

#1 Combining Your Renovation Decisions

If you are planning a kitchen renovation, there seem to be a million decisions you need to make, like appliances, flooring, and light fixtures. Visiting a kitchen showroom lets you see complete kitchen models, and many showrooms offer everything in-house to give you a complete design experience. 

Even kitchen showrooms that are not one-stop-shops do offer the ability to help you find the best installers, electricians, plumbers, and other industry professionals they know will help you complete your kitchen remodelling project. 

#2 Seeing Products In-Person

The best way to get a feel for the styles, colours, and textures you like is to see them in a kitchen showroom setting. Kitchen designers can help you put together options of finishes, fixtures, and hardware to see what resonates with you and help you eliminate some possibilities that you may find don’t look quite as good in person as they did online. 

This can save you money and time when it comes to ordering samples or products that may need to be returned when they aren’t exactly what you were looking for. 

So, now that you know a few reasons to add a kitchen showroom visit to your renovation plans, let’s talk about four of the best in Perth, Ontario!
