People are recommending arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen showroom as the trusted place for solid advice on bathroom fittings and fixtures, kitchen sinks and tapware. If you’re in Brisbane, you may have thought about visiting our bathroom and kitchen showroom . However, if all your research has been online until now, stepping into a showroom might make you feel nervous. You may wonder if you’ll get set on by salespeople. Maybe you worry you’ll walk out with something you don’t want. It’s natural to feel that way, but we’d like to reassure you that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Let’s take a sneak peek into our kind of personalised service when you visit us in the showroom. Learn more about the arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen team and how you can best tap into our pool of expert knowledge about bathrooms and kitchens.

 

The arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen showroom experience

The arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen showroom has been operating for five years. Over that time, we’ve cultivated a cult following among homeowners and the building industry. The reasons? Well, of course, there are the simple aesthetics of our showroom. There are few showrooms in Brisbane with such a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen display. Or an extensive range of luxury European and Australian bathroom, kitchen, and laundry products. That aside, we know it’s much more than that.

As soon as you talk to our team, what is evident is our depth of experience and a down-to-earth and sincere approach. Those winning attributes help people feel comfortable in our presence and optimistic about their projects. Showroom Manager Andrea Dostalova, who has a background in interior design, says the team are professional service providers, not salespeople.

“A showroom consultation is in no way about selling you something you don’t need. The luxury brands we work with are about honesty and longevity. We are going to ask lots of questions, and we’re going to help you to get what you need,” Andrea says.

 

Help at a level to suit your needs

If you’re feeling confused, we’re here to help. Feeling overwhelmed is normal and is all part of the process. At this point, good advice is invaluable. We believe it’s our responsibility to make the process simple. The showroom team’s depth of knowledge means we can be a one-stop shop regarding bathroom and kitchen advice. If you require it, we can work with you to assist at every level of your project, from planning and design to selecting products and finishes. This personalised service and industry expertise in the showroom is rare and something, not everyone may know is available to them.

"There are so many options out there, it is overwhelming. There aren’t many places in Brisbane like arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen that people can go to for professional end-to-end advice. When we meet people, they are often very confused from browsing everywhere, when what they really needed was to take a step back and talk things through. We help you work out what’s right for you and guide you in making good decisions that you’ll be ecstatic about long term,” Andrea says. 

Not everyone is ready for an in-depth consultation, and that’s okay, too. Andrea says the level of help on offer is entirely up to you.

“The first thing I ask people is whether I have permission to offer advice. Not everyone needs or wants it.” she says.

 

Understanding your style and preferences

We encourage you to bring along your floor plans, paint swatches and any rough sketches you might have when you visit our showroom. That way, we can see a complete picture of what you want. From here, we can help you apply those styles to different luxury brands or an overall aesthetic. The beauty of such a large showroom is that you can experience those styles in a real life setting, which helps solidify design choices.

If you’re unsure what you like yet or are overwhelmed with all the options, that’s okay, too. Andrea’s experience in the interior design industry can support customers unsure about their bathroom design.

“I can start just by taking you through the space you’re working with, and finding out what colours you like, and what shapes you prefer. From here we can build a great picture of your innate style,” she says. 

 

Helping you marry form with function

Design ideas are lovely, but the team will also help you ground those ideas into a reality that suits the space you’re working with and your lifestyle. In bathrooms and kitchens, practicality is paramount, and function is essential. We believe it’s important to be honest and direct with you about what is possible. Andrea says her approach is firm sometimes, often standing as the voice of reason between form and function.

“I find myself saying “no” a lot.” Andrea admits. “Not to be argumentative, but because spaces like bathrooms have limitations that you may not be aware of. This kind of advice can be crucial to how happy you are with the result.” 

Bathrooms and kitchens are very personal spaces, and Andrea recommends thinking practically about your lifestyle and space.

“For instance, if you hate cleaning, you can be honest with us about that. That way, we can go for something that is going to look as good as possible with minimal upkeep. That’s how you get something you’re happy with over the long term,” she adds.

 

Advice for spending wisely

Lately, the design aspects of bathrooms have taken off. So, bathrooms have become a new area of investment. Part of our responsibility is to help people spend wisely and be happy with the outcome.

“It’s easy to go crazy and there can be a danger of overcapitalising. You’re spending a lot of money on this, and you need to be happy with it for the long term. It’s about investing the money well,” Andrea says.

To help you make sound investments, we ask you to consider how long you intend to live in the property. If you want to turn your property over, we can suggest options for increasing resale value.

“For instance, if you’re going for something a little left of field, but you don’t want to stay in the home for the next 30 years, we would recommend Villeroy & Boch’s universal bodies. This gives the potential buyer the opportunity to swap out the superficial aspects without the costs of changing the plumbing,” she adds.

 

A diverse team of industry experts

When visiting the arthaus Bathroom & Kitchen showroom, you can speak to an industry expert in bathroom and kitchen. The team is comprised of three professionals who carry a diverse range of complementary skills. Showroom Manager Andrea is a qualified interior designer with over ten years of experience in the interior design industry, working in high-end furniture and flooring. Richard Moore has worked in the bathroom and kitchen industry for 25 years. His technical and product knowledge is second to none, and he is our go-to for finding the perfect fittings. Kathy Hampel has worked in the bathroom and kitchen industry for 15+ years. She has also renovated over 50 bathrooms, and her lived knowledge of renovations is invaluable.

“Apart from our experience, we also have high standards. We are sincere, and we take on a sense of responsibility for the result. We are really passionate about seeing your dreams become reality and want you to feel proud of where you live.” Andrea says.
