Featured Showrooms
Everyone wants to try before they buy. You can test drive a
new car—why not a new kitchen or bathroom, especially if
it’s going to cost you more than the car? Many local
showrooms give consumers the opportunity to see and touch
cabinets and counters, but functional kitchens that are
fully plumbed, fueled and available for cooking dinner are
harder to find.
That’s why we’ve located some for you. A growing number of
appliance manufacturers are launching interactive showrooms
around the country. They offer live demonstrations, fully
functional vignettes, and culinary classes. They’re a great
place to try a range, cooktop or oven you’ve been eyeing;
have your questions answered by professional chefs,
designers and installers; and learn firsthand what features
are must-haves and what you can live without.
Another showroom challenge: Many cater specifically to the
trade, meaning design and construction professionals.
Homeowners can only visit with an architect, interior
designer or builder. This isn’t always the best
approach—some people prefer to plan and research their
kitchen design before hiring a professional, or want to
execute part or all of their projects themselves.
So we’ve also identified some design centers that allow
consumers to roam free, explore a full range of interior
product choices and take advantage of some top-notch
education.
