WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR DESIGN PROCESS
Get Expert Help for Your Room Remodel
Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. Our Lotus showroom is here to offer you expert advice and assistance every step of the way!
PERSONALIZED SHOWROOM ASSISTANCE
When you visit Lotus Showroom in Grayslake, step one is to have a little fun! You’ll see we aren’t the stuffy, over-priced studio centers where you may feel a bit out of place. And we also aren’t the big box retailers where finding an associate to help is like finding a needle in a haystack. We are 100% family owned and operated. That means whether you are on a virtual appointment from an out of town location or visiting in-person, chances are you will be working with one of the owners who started the business. That means we are committed to your success. Because your success is ours too! We will help you navigate the wide range of styles and options available. All while giving you personalized attention to ensure you find exactly what you want for your space.
Unlike other kitchen and bath showrooms, we’ve created a one-stop shopping location for your ease and peace of mind! No more running around to several different remodeling product retailers to compare and contrast. Remembering what tile you bought online and which location you should go to for plumbing fixtures. Not to mention coordiating deliveries, measurement, and finding or keeping your remodeling contractor in the loop! No wonder it’s so stressful…
SUPPORT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Our design consultants will be there for you from start to finish, guiding you through the entire process and helping you refine your vision for the remodel. We'll continue to support you as you move into the design phase and beyond. We offer the finishing “pretty” products to complete your kitchen, bathroom, basement, laundry/mudroom projects. And our lines come in price points and styles to please everyone! Lotus is here to help you know which products are needed when and we can hold your hand through the design and product buying process. From kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, all types of flooring, tile for backsplash or showerwall and floor, your plumbing and electric fixtures, countertops and hardware.
So now onto the design phase.
SET YOUR GOALS
When you think of your dream home, kitchen, bathroom, or other room you are renovating, what does it look like? How much does your remodel cost? How long does it take? You and your Lotus design expert will set some basic goals for your room remodel. Every room will be different, and every project will have unique needs. We’ve created hundreds of kitchens and bathrooms. We have the experience and the know-how to walk you through the project, so you will never be in the dark about your budget or timeline.
CHOOSE YOUR STYLE
Most people who are starting a remodel know what their dream kitchens or their dream master bathroom look like – I know I’ve thought about mine and have so many saves!! Including many client remodels. We will talk about the style that suits you best and use that to narrow down your design element options. If you’re one of those people who don’t know where to start or aren’t sure what you want, and trust me… I get that too! No worries, we’ll get to know you and your tastes as a starting point. As long as you’re open and willing, we can your ‘no idea what you want’ into a masterpiece plan so you’ll be able to visual your dream room.
SELECT THE MATERIALS
With so many different options for the homeowner, it can be overwhelming. But your designer will have some great ideas for you based on your input and direction. We offer top national brands, so you are sure to find exactly what you need to make your vision a reality. We can share some of the samples with you from our showroom from porcelain backsplash to LVT click flooring, so you can see, touch and feel how the products will look in your room.
REVIEW YOUR DESIGN
Once you have pinned down the style and the brand for your cabinetry, and other remodeling products exact measurements will need to be taken before ordering. When your product is ready, demolition and removal of any old hardware will begin. It can get a little dusty, but you’ll be glad you decided on remodeling once your new room is finished.
INSTALLATION BEGINS
Your desired installers will create your dream room. This is the step where you go from vision to reality. By this point, you’ll know what you are about to see, but it won’t become real until you…
CLEAN UP AND SHOW OFF
Once the dust settles, you’ll have something wonderful to enjoy and share: your new-and-improved room! Whether you decided on something sleek and modern or cozy and classic, you’ll be ecstatic that you made the tough choice and the big commitment to remodel. Now would be a great time to throw a party and show off your new addition. (You can always invite your Lotus team – but no pressure.)
