What is the best way to plan a bathroom showroom display?
Here are a few pointers to consider when putting together your own showroom.
1. Decide on your space’s “feel”
The first step in creating any showroom is to decide on a clear identity and theme for the entire space. Will you be focusing on the sense of peace, privacy and wellness that many beautiful bathrooms offer? What about opulence and luxury? Convenience and family?
Your chosen “vibe” should complement all of the products and fixtures to be displayed, without creating distractions. It should also be an excellent reflection of your company, with your branding remaining front and centre at all times.
2. Plan your layout
Planning the flow of your showroom is key to creating a seamless and engaging customer experience. Consider how visitors will navigate the space, ensuring they follow an intuitive path that encourages exploration and maximises exposure to your products.
Sufficient floor space is essential to allow customers to move comfortably while engaging with displays. Incorporating features like a welcome desk or consultation booth can enhance the journey, providing helpful touchpoints. Placing these centrally ensures easy access for customers, enriching their overall experience and making their visit more efficient.
3. Present your products
There are many kinds of great bathroom fixture display ideas to help you create true-to-life modular set-ups, as well as showcasing options when it comes to individual elements like tiles or hardware. Below, we’ll explore some of the most popular designs we have created over the years.
Tile Sample Selector Racks
With practical bathroom floor and wall tile displays like our tile sample selector racks, a showroom designer can optimise the space they have available while keeping all areas tidy and organised.
These racking systems are modular, allowing samples to be easily swapped out so that displays can be updated regularly. As the units are attractive and tactile, they serve to encourage customer interaction, offering the opportunity to touch and compare products up close.
Tile Selector Units
An ideal way to present several contrasting tile designs that are all equally compatible with a central bathroom suite or set of fittings. These units allow for the straightforward comparison of different materials and will help visitors to make decisions more easily.
Wall-Mounted Sample Boards
These displays allow you to showcase large or custom tiles vertically, offering a creative way to maximise product exposure while keeping floor space clear – an approach that is vital when trying to maintain a good sense of flow in any showroom.
They serve as elegant stands for a range of custom designs and textures, with options to display full-size slabs or smaller samples. Wall-mounted sample boards offer customers the opportunity to visualise the full effect of statement tiles, mosaics or textured finishes as they would appear in a bathroom setting.
Sliding Tile Display
Another great way to present large-format tiles, displays of this kind let customers slide them out in trays to examine their patterns, finishes and textures closely.
They allow for easy categorisation by material, design or any other relevant factor – with the added benefit of a minimal loss of floor space.
Custom Fixture Display Wall
Of course, there are also engaging and unique ways to lay out bathroom hardware like faucets, showerheads and towel racks.
Ripple designs sleek, grid-style wall-mounted systems, such as custom fixture display walls, tailored specifically to each client’s needs. These bespoke solutions offer customers the opportunity for hands-on exploration, allowing them to fully experience the functionality and benefits of each product.
Our fixture display walls make it possible to present a wide range of options in one setting, enabling easy comparison and selection.
Centre Floor Vanity Display
Ideal for high-traffic areas, a centrally placed floor vanity display offers a fully integrated way to showcase complementary combinations of fixtures, such as basins, storage solutions, and toilets.
By allowing customers to see how products work together in a single setting, this setup not only aids in decision-making but also presents opportunities for cross-selling related items.
Positioned centrally, these displays encourage engagement from all angles, helping visitors envision complete solutions for their own spaces.
Selection Suite
For a seamlessly curated experience when choosing bathroom accessories, a selection suite is often a superb option.
If you choose this approach, you will make it far easier for customers to visualise how the available accessories will look in their own homes and alongside other items and units you have for sale.
Additionally, it provides an excellent opportunity for sales representatives to upsell complementary products, helping customers discover new combinations and possibilities.
Suites like these enable a level of engagement that leaves visitors feeling far more confident when taking the final step and committing to a purchase.
Ripple Display Pods
Display pods offer a highly immersive, innovative and aesthetically pleasing combined solution. Each pod contains a separate bathroom setup with its own unique style and design approach – reflecting tastes from the traditional to the super-modern and everything between.
They are excellent visualisation tools that help customers picture different layout and design possibilities as they would look within their own home. For bathroom retailers, pods provide a sustainable option, as they can be easily refreshed to showcase new trends or seasonal designs, minimising waste while keeping displays up-to-date.
Bathroom Suite Display
This final approach has long been the most popular solution and remains highly effective.
A full bathroom suite display features a complete bathroom setup – including floor and wall tiles, vanities and fittings – presented just as they would be installed in a home.
It’s the most straightforward and comprehensible way to show how all items and design choices would work together within the design of a single real-life space, once again helping customers to make educated choices. Displays of this kind may even encourage investment in additional fixtures when visitors see them side by side with their intended purchases.
The above display unit styles and module options can be arranged in virtually endless numbers of combinations, depending on your preferences and the desired final look of your showroom.
