Southern Bath and Kitchen: More Than Just the Kitchen Sink
Nothing says easy shopping like designer showrooms. Whether featuring living room layouts, bath designs, or kitchen options, a showroom is central to a design-impaired shopper. Attempting a kitchen or a bathroom redesign or a first design is always challenging, especially with the many minute details: tile and cabinet designs, faucet selections, and not to mention colors. Showrooms provide a luxury service, the benefit of unique and all-equally gorgeous design ideas. Residents of Mandeville and surrounding areas, rejoice. Southern Bath & Kitchen, the design division of Southern Pipe & Supply, has just opened a new showroom.
The new showroom features favorites like Kohler and Delta, as well as something for the eclectic fans, like Bear Creek Glass. The Mandeville showroom is like a maze of beautiful tubs and endless options for faucets. Upon visiting the store, instead of handing me a single pamphlet of their lines, Virginia Schieck, showroom manager and designer, gave me 13 different booklets of 13 different lines, all carried by Southern Bath & Kitchen—and that was only a sample. This included cabinet styles, fixtures both large and small, tubs and showers, sinks, and even matching interior doors. Everything needed to complete a bathroom or kitchen can be found in this one store, not to mention the kitchen sink.
While the innumerable options can be overwhelming, do not let this deter you. If you find yourself in a design bind, the people at Southern Bath & Kitchen can help untie you. They are so focused on helping their customers and ensuring their satisfaction that they prefer to work by appointments. Virginia puts it this way: “We like to work by appointments so we have good quality time with the customers. This helps give the designer look without the designer price.”
Perhaps their commitment to upscale, yet affordable style is the reason their showrooms—all 10 across Louisiana—are so impressive. The appearance is sleek and sophisticated, but not threatening like many other high-end showrooms, making it all the more easy to picture any of their items in your own home. Your style may be contemporary, traditional, European, or anything else in the host of style lists around today; you may even combine them all. Either way, Southern Bath & Kitchen will ensure that the end result is exactly what you wanted and that the process is pleasant. ✦
