Why You Should Visit A Showroom When Planning Your Southampton Kitchen

These days, when we’re thinking of making a purchase, be it a new BBQ or a bathroom, the first place we go to is the internet. When buying a new kitchen, going online can be a fantastic way to learn about the variety of options available, to get a feel for some of the designs you like and even to have many of your questions answered. However, nothing compares to visiting your local Southampton kitchen showroom in person.

Buying a kitchen isn’t something you do every day, and as such a central part of your home, it’s an important space to get right. Kitchens must be practical and durable to stand up to the demands of everyday life but should also provide a wonderful focal point for socialising and relaxing. With such complex requirements, finding the perfect kitchen isn’t easy, and if you make a mistake or change your mind, you can’t just send it back for a refund!

At Kitchens InStyle, while we’ve been dedicated to setting up a fantastic online consultation system, we are absolutely overjoyed that kitchen showrooms are now allowed to reopen. We are always delighted when customers visit our showroom as it gives us an opportunity to share our expert knowledge and show off our superb products. Simply put, we love nothing more than helping our Southampton clients find stunning bespoke kitchens that they’ll love for years to come. When you’re planning to renovate your kitchen, we recommend you visit your local Southampton kitchen showroom for a number of reasons which we’ll explain below.

Get Fantastic Inspiration

At your local Southampton kitchen showroom, you will find a variety of kitchen displays to explore complete with worktops, appliances and wonderful finishing touches. Browsing the different displays and products is a wonderful way to find inspiration for your project. The subtle colour and surface finish of doors and worktops are much better experienced in person, you simply can’t appreciate the subtle shimmer of a quartz worktop through a screen. As you discover the various kitchens up close you will get a better understanding of what can be achieved and will undoubtedly find new ideas that you may want to include in your design.

Walking around a series of real working kitchens will give you a much more accurate idea of scale and layout which can help inform decisions about your own space. For example, you might realise your new kitchen design is a bit too cluttered or even leaves too much space between your all-important golden triangle. Likewise, when you explore a variety of kitchen styles and colour schemes in person, they can look different from how you imagined, and you might find you change your mind about your initial design.
