Shopping for plumbing fixtures for your next renovation project can be an enjoyable experience if you plan ahead. Yet many people who are looking for Moen and Kohler faucets, sinks, or accessories don’t plan ahead and don’t block out enough time to really learn about the practically limitless options that are available for today’s kitchens and baths. Planning ahead is also crucial so that an expert at the showroom can answer any questions you might have and steer you toward the best Kohler and Moen pluming fixtures for your home.
Determine Your Budget In Advance
You’ll find faucets and plumbing fixtures by brand names like Moen, Kohler, Delta, Grohe, and Elkay that run from inexpensive to pricey. Be willing to spend the right kind of money if you want a high-end look or are interested in fixtures with unique features, such as faucets that can be turned on with just a touch. Take some time to compare prices in your area and make a complete list of every fixture you’ll need; from there, determine a range of prices you’re comfortable with. This will save you a lot of time when you visit a design showroom. Tell the design consultant what price range you’re comfortable with so he or she can steer you toward plumbing fixtures that work with your budget.
Bring Samples And Clippings
There will be hundreds of pictures of beautifully designed kitchens and bathrooms to inspire you in home improvement and design magazines. If you love a particular sink or set of shower handles, tear out the page and take it with you so that you can show the salesperson what you have in mind. Bring pictures of specific bathroom styles that appeal to you as well. If you find that you’re gravitating toward a retro style kitchen, a design consultant can suggest Moen and Kohler faucets that will blend beautifully with your style.
You may fall in love with a Moen faucet set in brushed nickel, but if it doesn’t work well with your existing wall colors or accessories, you’ll be disappointed. Sample tiles and fabric swatches will show you how well all the elements work together.
Give Yourself Plenty Of Time To Find Plumbing Fixtures
Dashing into a showroom or home improvement store between chores won’t cut it. You may end up with a few pieces you like, but you’ll probably have forgotten about some key pieces. You may also miss out on some wonderful suggestions from a sales associate or design specialist that would have been ideal for your bathroom or kitchen. Allow yourself two to three hours in a kitchen or bath showroom. This gives you time to compare Moen and Kohler options so you end up with plumbing fixtures you truly love.
Don’t neglect details like towel bars, lighting fixtures, and even a trash can when you make a list of plumbing fixtures and accessories. Choosing fittings to either match or complement other details in the room will give your bathroom or kitchen a pulled-together look.
Be Flexible
If you have your heart set on one particular faucet and sink combination before you even walk through the door of the showroom, you could be disappointed. Keep an open mind on brands as well. If you fell in love with Kohler shower plumbing fixtures, be willing to look at similar models by other popular name brands such as Moen and Delta. You may discover something you like even more.
