When planning a custom kitchen or bathroom renovation, the best first step is to visit design centre. It gives you access to expert advice, real materials, and cabinetry solutions that go beyond what you can find online.
Many homeowners start by browsing inspiration photos and comparing finishes. That can help you shape your vision, but nothing replaces the experience of standing in a real kitchen space, opening drawers, and talking directly with professionals who understand your goals.

What Happens When You Visit Design Centre
See material quality in person
Photos never tell the full story. The grain on wood, the finish color under real light, the smoothness of a drawer glide. You need to experience those things yourself. When you visit a design centre, you can explore solid wood options, compare finishes, and feel the difference in craftsmanship. You’ll be able to evaluate real samples of maple, white oak, walnut, and more, not just guess from a screen.
Try cabinetry accessories and fittings
Soft close doors, integrated lighting, pull out spice racks, hidden waste bins. These are things you should try before you decide. A design centre lets you experience the function, not just the form. Many homeowners discover ideas they didn’t even know existed until they interacted with them in person.
Explore layout ideas and full size displays
Cabinet samples are useful, but walking through a full kitchen display gives you something deeper. A feel for layout, flow, and space. At the Merit Kitchens Design Centre, you can move through kitchen setups that showcase smart configurations, custom cabinetry, premium materials, and interior fittings that are ready to serve your lifestyle.
Make confident finish choices
What looks good online may shift in your actual space. The lighting in your kitchen or bathroom, your flooring, your wall paint. All of that changes how a cabinet finish appears. Visiting a design centre helps you see your options under multiple conditions and compare wood types and stains side by side, so you can choose a combination that truly works.
Avoid costly mistakes
When renovations go wrong, it’s often because of small details that didn’t get enough attention. A drawer that hits a wall, a finish that clashes with tile, an accessory that doesn’t quite fit your habits. At a design centre, those surprises can be eliminated. You’ll get hands on experience and expert feedback that prevents common regrets and ensures your kitchen investment pays off long term.
