In 2022, we expand the image of decorative plumbing.
We’re almost through the second year of the pandemic and vendors and showrooms are boldly sharing what they think will be popular in 2022. A common thread in many of these predictions is that people are starting to work bold colors and patterns into rooms. This simple prediction tells me it is time for the decorative plumbing industry to move outside — way outside — the chrome and white box.
As I have written quite often, people know that beautiful bathroom fixtures exist and function flawlessly. It’s not often a customer enters your showroom and utters, “I had no idea that bathroom faucets could be so lovely.” We have changed that mindset. Bravo. Now, let's retool and work to move our showrooms’ products to the next level. Let’s start to motivate the design world to think of all plumbing fixtures, from faucet to toilet, the same way they think of a fine piece of furniture. Can you imagine if every couch you sold was white with chrome trim? Our products should be on the same level as designer furniture, fabrics and wall coverings. We have the products, we have the talent and we certainly have the style. We have been awarded a hot market with clients craving new, unique options.
