Making a splash: interiors firm celebrates new showroom
A BESPOKE luxury kitchen and bathroom company in Wokingham’s town centre has completed its new showroom and welcomes customers to explore its range of fittings and services.
Last month, Designs For Living, in Denmark Street, held a grand opening for its revamped store, drawing interest from people throughout the day.
Drinks and nibbles were available for those that came inside to view the new range of kitchen and bathroom interiors now on display in the refitted showroom.
Owner Josh Chappel said:
“It went really well, and lots of people came.
“We’ve had a re-brand, a new shop front, new awnings and a new website.
“We think people really noticed the changes and we’ve had good feedback.”
The company has refitted around 80% of the showroom interior.
“There are eight full-sized kitchens, and eight to 10 full bathroom displays,” said Mr Chappel.
“It’s quite spacious inside, and everyone is very surprised by how big the showroom is.
“You can’t really tell from the store front, but we’re a bit like the Tardis.
“If you can’t get to the shop, you can visit our website and take a 360º virtual tour of the showroom.”
Mr Chappel says that now is a good time of year to think about kitchen or bathroom refits.
“We call it the booking season,” he says.
“It starts around now, with most people coming in during early spring to get ideas and plan work for their home improvements.
“Many of our customers come through personal recommendations.
“So for us, reputation is key.” The family-run business has been open since 1992, and offers bespoke kitchen and bathroom design, supply and installation service.
Mr Chappel also owns Bathroom Concepts in Molly Millars Lane.
