When it comes to choosing the perfect stone for your project, preparation is key. Visiting the Stonecrafters showroom is an exciting opportunity to explore a wide variety of stone options, but arriving prepared can make the experience even more productive and enjoyable. Whether you’re redesigning your kitchen, planning a bathroom remodel, or working on a custom project, this checklist will help you make the most of your visit.
1. Bring a Design Board or Inspiration Images
If you’re a designer or a homeowner working with a specific vision, a design board can be a great tool. Compile images, sketches, and swatches that reflect your project’s aesthetic. This could include photos of spaces you love, a color palette, or even textures you’re drawn to. Sharing these with our showroom experts will help them guide you toward stone options that align with your vision.
2. Bring Samples of Existing Materials
For seamless design coordination, bring physical samples of the materials you’ve already chosen for your space. These might include:
Paint Samples: Even a small swatch of your wall or cabinet paint can make a big difference in finding a complementary stone.
Tile Samples: Whether it’s backsplash, floor, or shower tiles, these samples will help ensure the stone you select enhances the overall look.
Cabinet Drawer or Door: If you’re remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, bringing the smallest drawer or cabinet door can help us match the stone to your cabinetry’s finish and style.
The more colors and materials you bring, the easier it is for our team to help you make a confident choice.
3. Know Your Measurements
Having accurate dimensions of the space where the stone will be installed can streamline the process. Bring measurements of your countertops, vanities, or other surfaces you plan to cover. If you’re uncertain about measurements, a rough sketch with dimensions marked can also be helpful.
4. Think About Functionality
Consider how the space will be used and how the stone will need to perform. For example:
Do you need a durable surface for a high-traffic kitchen?
Are you prioritizing low-maintenance options for a bathroom?
Are you looking for a statement piece for an island or fireplace?
Sharing these details will help our showroom experts recommend the best material for your needs, whether it’s granite, quartz, marble, or another stone.
5. Be Open to Inspiration
While it’s great to come prepared, it’s also important to keep an open mind. Our showroom is filled with stunning displays and unique materials that you may not have considered.
