Olympia Cabinets: 6 Reasons to Upgrade Your Cabinets

The Layout Is Not Suitable
A well-designed cabinet layout creates a kitchen, or bathroom, in which life is comfortable and where it is not difficult to:

Access utensils, products and accessories;
Move around;
Put utensils, products and accessories away, regardless of size; and
Arrange furniture and other accessories.

Proper planning is essential before starting any type of kitchen and bathroom renovation, or remodel, and selecting the right cabinets is a very important part of the process.

Lighting Is Not Optimal
Well planned lighting for a kitchen, or bathroom, takes into account the following:

Illuminating the room in its entirety;
Facilitating activities in key locations; and
Ambient lighting.

The right choice of color and materials for your kitchen and bathroom cabinets can help enhance lighting levels.

Space Is Not Optimized Adequately
Nobody likes to knock a body part on a countertop corner, or have to reach far to fetch an accessory that is required when preparing food in the kitchen, or getting ready in the bathroom. Particularly if there is more than one person in the room.

Spaces that are too small, or too large, are the result of poorly designed layouts and hinder the efficient and comfortable use of a kitchen, or bathroom. Adapting the cabinet layout to the space available in your kitchen and bathroom is an important part of the process.

Several New Trends Have Taken Place Since Your Design or Last Renovation
In the past, it was enough for kitchens and bathrooms to be functional. Nowadays, both rooms are important decorative components of a house. It is crucial to leverage kitchen and bathroom projects to select a style of cabinets that combines aesthetics and functionality, while complementing the rest of the house.

Ineffective, Old-Fashioned, or Damaged Appliances and Accessories
When appliances and accessories become outdated, inefficient, or damaged, there is an opportunity to take advantage of a kitchen, or bathroom, remodel to swap them out for something that better suits your current lifestyle (e.g. children have grown up and left the house).

As modern appliances and accessories often have different dimensions to conventional ones, a renovation project will enable you to integrate them in the new design and manage the space they occupy in harmony with newly selected cabinets.

Altered, or Old-Fashioned Countertops and Cabinets
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and countertops, have an average life cycle of 10-15 years. When it comes to their replacement, why not go the extra mile and design a project that will optimize use of space, while combining style and functionality?

The 3 Stages of Choosing New Cabinets

Cabinets are a component that define the style and design of your kitchen, or bathroom. Therefore, The Showroom Interior Solutions design experts recommend that you take ample time to carefully explore your options before making a considered decision that will put a personalized and tailored stamp on your new, remodel, or renovation project.

When it comes to choosing kitchen and bathroom cabinets, it is not always easy to know where to start. The following stages provide some high-level guidelines that can be further explored when discussing overall design with The Showroom Interior Solutions experts.

The Showroom Interior Solutions knows that kitchen and bathroom cabinets are found in all styles and materials, and that this is the first layer of complexity when it comes to making the right cabinet choice. It is therefore required to give some considered thought to the desired type of materials, as well as the style of design to be applied to your kitchen, or bathroom, as a whole.

When choosing a design style, it is also important to consider the type of door, cabinet and hardware. The three stages outlined below will help prepare yourself for the selection of all cabinet components without losing heart, knowing that The Showroom Interior Solutions design experts will always be there to guide you through the entire process, from concept to finished project.

Stage 1
The first stage involves the selection of your kitchen, or bathroom, cabinet doors. It is important to decide whether you would like to go with a flat, paneled, molded, or raised panel door:

Cabinet Door – Finishes

The flat panel cabinet door provides a simple and clean look and is usually made of a single piece without molding;
The paneled cabinet door is usually made of materials that enable carving to provide a look with more depth;
The molded panel cabinet door is a simple panel that incorporates moldings. It is a less impressive than a paneled door, but it provides a more decorative look; and
The raised panel cabinet door is similar to the paneled door with the addition of molding.

Stage 2
The second stage involves the selection of hardware that will be installed on the kitchen, or bathroom, cabinet doors. This includes, but is not limited to, handles and knobs that will be used to open the cabinet doors. During this stage, budget considerations can be accommodated, as cabinet door hardware comes in a wide range of price points and limited budgets can achieve a great result by exploring options with The Showroom Interior Solutions design experts.

Cabinet Hardware

From a purely practical perspective, The Showroom Interior Solutions recommends the selection of handles over knobs, as they come in such a wide variety of styles that they can virtually accommodate any kitchen, or bathroom, cabinet design.

Stage 3
Finally, once the choice of panel and hardware has been made, it is time to move on to the third stage and focus on the cabinet finish. The two most popular choices are natural and stained wood. In both cases, available options come in a wide range of price points. Moreover, both types of wood come in a wide range of options. Both cabinet finish options are equivalent in terms of wear and tear, so the choice really rests with a desire to design a kitchen, or bathroom, with a look that is either natural, or more colorfully customized.

Cabinet Finishes

Alternatively, you can also elect for your design to incorporate a cabinet look that is more robust (solid wood), luxurious (veneer wood), inexpensive (melamine), metallic (stainless steel), or that imitates other materials in a stylish fashion (laminate and thermoplastic).

The above three stages serve as a guideline only and The Showroom Interior Solutions design experts strongly recommend that you take a moment to contact them for advice and explore your cabinet options before embarking upon a kitchen, or bathroom, remodel project.

Kitchen and Bathroom Cabinet Installation – Requires a Professional

Many home owners become eager to renovate their kitchens and bathrooms after living in the same house for many years, or when moving into a newly purchased house. When that point comes, it is also true that they often start by considering the ready-to-assemble options, which are initially thought to be a more hassle-free avenue. Many stores that offer kitchen and bathroom products matching this option carry quality merchandise, but are not really focused on providing a service that will see you through to the end of your renovation project.

When choosing a pre-packaged solution that you will have to install yourself, nothing is truly made to measure and will, more often than not, result in loss of space, unusable space, and feel like it was not designed for the room it is installed in. Empty spaces will also very often be covered by paneling, rather than being utilized as cleverly planned storage spaces.

The Showroom Interior Solutions design experts will come to your house, inspect the dimensions of the kitchen, or bathroom, you wish to remodel. They will then provide detailed advice when it comes to cabinet style, materials and layout, which will not only help new ideas to surface, but also make the initial part of the journey pain-free.

Vendors such as the Bellmont Cabinet Co. and Woodland Cabinetry provide The Showroom Interior Solution with a vast array of highly customizable cabinet options, enabling the design of a kitchen, or bathroom, that will be optimized for the space available in your home. Ensuring that every inch of space is used in a way that combines beautiful style and great functionality. Moreover, The Showroom Interior Solutions offers professional cabinet installation services, which guarantees a seamless transition between the design and installation phases of your project, while keeping the same level of personalized and tailored customer service from start to finish.

The Showroom has great customer service with a personal touch. They listened to our wishes and we are happy with the results. John and Kim are easy to work with and made suggestions to make our vision a reality. They were always there to check on the progress of our job and kept our project on schedule. The work was completed in a very timely and very professional manner. We recommend them unreservedly and we look forward to working with them in the future.Jeannie and Steve B

Magnificent Experience!!!On a recommendation from a recent “Showroom” client, we hired The Showroom Interior Solutions staff to complete our home remodel project. After spending so much time in the military, moving from place to place, we wanted to turn our retirement house into our forever home and this challenge would have been a daunting task without the right subject matter experts guiding us. We worked primarily with John Sullivan and Kim Jones however the entire crew and staff were extremely professional as they steered us through this potentially formidable process.John’s extensive interior remodeling knowledge was extremely apparent as he coached us through every detail. His proactive methodology itemized every requirement, established an all-encompassing specialist project timeline and provided a meticulous expense outlay upfront enabling us to budget and customize our remodel vision throughout the entire process. Kim’s vision facilitated the design of our extremely stylish and yet functional custom kitchen. Her comprehensive kitchen renderings and sophisticated suggestions enabled us to visualize our dream with ease. Their skillful interaction and well-organized efforts throughout this process empowered us to expedite this project and we now have the house of our dreams.

Wonderful job! Kim was very help during our selection of cabinets and design. Check with us during the install to see if we had any concerns. Installation started on schedule and completed without delay. The Installers were courteous and careful. We had very few issues and what few arose were dealt with expeditiously. I am not sure we could have asked for better service. The finished kitchen is fabulous.

After interviewing multiple contractors, we hired The Showroom for our remodel project that included a complete new custom kitchen, all new flooring, and resurfacing of the stairs. John (Sully) and his crew were professional, on time, courteous, and best of all.... 'upfront' with the costs. I really appreciate that John itemized every item. The work was top notch! My wife now has the kitchen of her dreams. Go to his website and look for our kitchen photos; you'll love it too! We are already looking forward to John renovating our master bath. I can't say enough about our positive experience. Thank you John!!

They were an absolute pleasure to work with. John, the owner is very instumental when it comes to knowledge of product and design. He is so friendly, caring and kind. He makes you feel important and takes time with you so that you're happy with your decision. They never rush you and in fact take time out to visit your home or project aso every attention to detail is placed and done right the first time. His team is wonderful and super friendly. They all make you feel like part of the family and much more than just a customer. Kim is a superb gal, knowledgeable,and a fun kick to work with. just a sweetheart. I give them 5 stars for overall customer satisfaction and product knowledge and on time excellent service . They back up their warranty without hesitation if a problem arises. I'LL BE BACK!!

Bathroom remodel by The Showroom was definitely a class act. Thanks to John and Kim for helping us design and plan our project. Their input was valuable! John checked in during the remodel to ensure we were happy. We have had a wonderful working experience with them during this recent and previous projects. We have consistently been very happy. I recommend The Showroom, with their very hardworking, honest and professional team to help you with any home projects. Thanks John and Kim!

The staff and crew of The Showroom not only produced two beautiful and well crafted bathroom remodels for us, they were a pleasure to work with. John and Rhonda ensured that all details were addressed and the schedule was adhered to. We could not be happier with the outcome! We now have two bathrooms that are completely functional and classicly stylish.

Highly recommend The Showroom Interior Solutions in Yelm, Wa. We did a shower remodel and floor tiling projects in 2 bathrooms. The communication with the customer was excellent. The Showroom offers a wide selection of beautiful quality materials. They offer professional assistance in choosing products to meet our needs. Working with the Showroom we felt we received a great value for the quality of the materials we chose. The installation staff couldn’t have been better. They also worked within the timeline that was set. The end product is one that we are very proud to show our family and friends. We are highly satisfied with our beautiful shower and flooring.

We recently finished our upstairs space with the help of The Showroom. They helped us complete a new galley kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and home theater room. Working with John and Kim was a wonderful experience! They were great in helping us pick out the right finishes that would carry forward the look/feel of our downstairs space, while at the same time giving it a fresh, more modern appeal. When tough decisions on timeline/material arose, they were both out in front of it and provided close communication and a willingness to make sure my wife and I were happy. We are simply THRILLED with our newly finished space, and I couldn’t recommend The Showroom more highly. Thanks again!!

FANTASTIC!!! I can't say enough great things about how The Showroom Interior Solutions made my sleepy little kitchen a Show Stopper! John listened to my vision of a kitchen with an old world feel - then made it a reality. From demo to completion, he kept me informed on what to expect each day of the project. All the people who worked on this project (you know who you are :) ) are very skilled at what they do. For anyone researching a company to manage a remodel project - look no further! This company is the best!

My husband & I had just started planning a kitchenremodel, when we stumbled across Showroom Interiors in Yelm. They were awesome! Best kitchen cabinets and design we could have found. The quality, professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for first class customer service and the kitchen of their dreams!

If you’re expecting excellence then you’ve found the right place! We just completed a major remodel of our kitchen and guest bath. New floors, moved and replaced our island cabinets, new granite, sinks and more. The Showroom guided us through the remodel process and made it fun. John, Kim and the fabulous crew were always professional and respectful towards us and our home. The schedule was honored, a great relief to know workers would show up and clean up. We HIGHLY recommend the Showroom! We couldn’t be happier with the end results and look forward to the next project with them.

We learned about Showroom Interior Solutions from our neighbors after moving into our new home and seeing their beautiful shelf/cabinetry. From the moment we walked into Showroom’s place of business to the completion of their professional installation process, John and Kim were professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in assisting us put together the perfect shelf/cabinetry at a price we could afford. They even followed up with us after the installation was completed to ensure we were totally satisfied. We couldn’t be happier with the quality and fabulous look of our new living room shelf/cabinetry!

Before I begin the flattering description of the excellent craftsmanship of Showroom Interiors crew, working under John Sullivan, I’ll just mention that I am simply the secretary on our church’s Flooring Committee.At Yelm Community United Methodist Church it was decided upon to put in new flooring in the entire church. Mark headed up the project with people that had previously hired Showroom for our Library floor. The Library Flooring is beautiful but we needed a more industrial Flooring for the Fellowship Hall and Kitchen. So Mark met with John and his professionals. What a kind, honest and humorous man!! He listened carefully and they took careful measurements and notes.Within a matter of days John had 3 proposals with various samples. They discussed the time frame our Church’s congregation and Pastor were wanting the new flooring completed by.The Flooring Committee chose their choice of sample based on important criteria and it was then that John and his crew got down to business. The beginning day was agreed upon and it was a Wednesday. They had availability through Saturday if they needed it. Folks, they were finished Friday late morning!!The men who carefully and professionally performed their Craftsmanship did it very well!! We were there much of the time for other reasons.That Sunday when the people came in the doors their faces lit up! The adoration heard over and over again was so tremendously thoughtful the entire Flooring Committee wished that the people of Showroom Interiors could have been there!!We highly recommend this Company and we hope to be able to do business with Showroom Interiors again in the future.

We had our kitchen done one year ago in January, we are so pleased with the quality of the service.

Thanks again to The Showroom Interior , for our beautiful kitchen.. 5-18-2019 The second project just got done by the Showroom 5=16-19 our two bathrooms were up dated. The workers were very professional and fun to have in our home. John and his staff are very pleasant and caring.

After getting a number of bids for our master bath remodel we chose The Showroom. And we're so happy we did. From the initial design, through project changes and the actual work they couldn't have been a better company to work with. Deanna did a great job helping us design the room. John was outstanding at making sure everybody kept to the schedule. And the craftsman did beautiful work. We will definitely use The Showroom again the next time we want to update our home.

In Nov 2018, we lost our 3000sf home to a catastrophic fire. We contracted with Bob Howard, Jr construction in Yelm for the rebuild project. Without hesitation, Bob recommended John Sullivan and The Showroom for our interior hardwood, tile, cabinets and countertops. Having a well-stocked showroom with more choices than we thought possible, and extremely knowledgeable staff with the latest in design technology in the South Puget Sound area was a tremendous stress relief during our rebuild process. The staff at The Showroom was simply fantastic to work with through our entire rebuild. Not only do they have an extensive selection of choices/options for everything we needed, their level of customer service and personal level support was outstanding. It's nice to work with a local builder....it's even nicer to have access to top quality materials, installation services, and reliable subcontractors in a local company. Being on a rather tight timeline, John was able to pull together superior materials quality and a fantastic installation team on time and on budget, a huge relief for us in the process. We can't thank and endorse John and his team enough.

Genuine Customer Service:We had water damage in the kitchen and living-room after a dishwasher failure. John did a great job helping us through navigating the insurance claim as well as picking out new high quality flooring. His company then did a superior job installing it. In addition to the quality workmanship, I was most impressed by his genuine customer service. He meant it when he said that he wanted us to be happy with the work and process. When there was an issue with a sub-contractor John resolved it. End of story. When something does not go as planned you find out how good a contractor really is and John passed with flying colors. To sum it up, working with John was a good experience and I highly recommend him and his team. Stephanie Ehinger

We purchased a 1986 home that needed significant updating, mainly the kitchen. After spending a considerable amount of time investigating contractors with the best reputations from online lists and by word of mouth recommendations, we selected First Finishers as general and Deanna Delacruz with The Showroom Interior Solutions as the interior designer. Deanna, is first and foremost a great listener, extremely personable, and very knowledgeable about every aspect of kitchen design, cabinet options, and finish materials. We were impressed with her level of professionalism and focus on great service. She provided intuitive options to fit our needs rather than pushing us in one direction or another. Deanna was simply the best choice we could have made, and the kitchen shows it. We love our kitchen! The next item is the master bath and we will be working with Deanna and First Finishers for that as well.

After purchasing our home, we quickly decided to “fix” the kitchen. The way it was laid out just wasn’t working. I had no clue where to begin so started looking into local contractors, and came across First Finishers. Kai, the owner of FF, quickly sent us to The Showroom and Deanna. We went in knowing what we didn’t want which made her job even more difficult. Deanna proved to be the best decision we could have made. I had ideas and dreams and she helped me make them come true. Her knowledge and experience was just what we needed. If you are thinking about a remodel and need a local company to help with design, I would highly recommend The Showroom. They are knowledgeable and best of all, friendly and helpful and local!!

We have used Showroom in the past but this this time we opt for the entire kitchen and more flooring to be renovated. The process started with the planning until fully executed. We knew this job was going to be a long and timely process. The guys came in and did the job with in the time frame and it looks marvelous. I have posted pics of the finished job.

This review is of our bathroom remodel experience provided by both the Showroom and First Finishers who did the install. >>> First Finishers should absolutely be your first consideration if you want a first rate and thoroughly complete first class result. When you hire First Finishers you can expect, without exception, a professional and personable team of highly skilled crafts people to deliver fast, complete work that is artwork and function wrapped together in one package.Seriously, the short experience of having the crew in your home for a mere 5 weeks for a remodel is something that you wish might have lasted longer! Why would I say that? It’s said because the crew is so darn personable and skilled. It was our pleasure to have known them for 5 weeks.How does it sound to you to have a remodel done in just 5 weeks? It should sound terrific and it is. It is a great benefit not to have to give up your lifestyle for a longer extended time. Your benefactor who oversees the 5 week timetable is the one and only John Sullivan. John owns the SHOWROOM in Yelm and helps you design and pick out all the amenities, products and accoutrements you will want and need. John is also your point man, tour director, concierge, consultant, schedule manager, problem solver, coordinator, story teller and someone who is your friend throughout and perhaps beyond your remodel experience. John will always keep you up to date and tell you in advance what and who is coming next to get the work done.Your end result will be something that you will love and be very well done by skilled and friendly craftspeople in timely fashion. To cap off the relationship we entered into with First Finishers and John Sullivan was a $100 “Thank You” certificate from them to enjoy at a great restaurant. John presented a certificate to us for Ricardo’s Restaurant in Lacey. We went there about 6 months after our bathroom remodel was completed. It was fitting that this fine restaurant was on a par with the first class treatment and result provided to us by First Finishers and John. Thank you, John and the entire team at First Finishers.Carey and Pamela FinnOlympia, WA.

The Showroom interior solutions was an incredible experience. Kerstin was knowledgeable, and helpful. She has great taste to bring our kitchen and living room all together. Communication was essential to us, and Kerstin never left us out of the loop. The timeline of ordering and install was 2 weeks. Could not be more happier when everything else was hectic or negative. Thank you so much. Should have gone with The Showroom from the start. We will definitely be returning customers!!! The prices were from what you can afford to the top notch products. I strayed away to go to big box stores. When The Showroom was the best solution just in town. Great showroom for products and Designs.
