Remodeling a kitchen can be a dream come true and a nightmare all at the same time. Your first visit to a kitchen showroom can truly be almost a fantasy \’ gleaming lights, shiny appliances, perfectly aligned counter tops. But before going overboard, here\’s what to expect.
As with any type of \’showroom\’, the stores want to lure you with your senses by showing you the best, the brightest, the prettiest, and of course \’ the most expensive \’ items in a prominent display. Whether you had a small budget in mind or not, they are hoping you\’ll spend more than you anticipated and they are happy to help you accomplish more than you planned.
As you walk through these showrooms, remember that the purpose of each area is simply to show you various set ups with the different cabinetry, counters, colors, etc. Your chances of finding exactly what you had hoped for are slim, so don\’t get discouraged or confused. Once you start choosing items you like a designer will help you put everything together in a way that makes sense, and he\’ll be able to show you additional items that will add some pizzazz.
Before spending too much time doing this, make sure you have the exact measurements of the area you are designing \’ without these measurements you will never even be able to come to an estimated price.
Whatever you see in the showroom from cabinets to ceilings to window treatments to cookware is all for sale. Before adding it all to your final bill just keep in mind that these things are going to cost you much more than if you had run to the mall to get them. However, the showrooms are banking on the fact that you\’d rather pay a premium for the convenience of getting it all at one time \’ and this isn\’t a bad idea if time is indeed an issue. For instance, you might see some lights you love, but you could probably find them cheaper at another store.
What they are hoping for is that you will be willing to pay these premium prices in exchange for the time you will save going store to store to find similar items for lower prices. Often, paying these prices might even be worth it in the long run because you might get something like free design services for other rooms in your home, or discounts on custom blinds.
Be aware that this isn\’t going to happen quickly. Beautiful designer kitchens take time since everything needs to be custom ordered. Discuss all your time needs with your designer before ripping out what you have at home.
