Showstopper!

We’ve all been there. You want to perk up a room in your house so you go to the local home improvement store for assistance. After roaming the aisles with no help in sight and not understanding the difference between a dual flush and an assisted flush toilet, you leave more confused than ever. The prescription for your frustration is a place called Kitchen and Bath Showplace. Once you step inside, you’ll know you aren’t in a home improvement warehouse anymore. 

 “Our showroom is like Fantasy Island,” says Joseph Lazarrago, manager of the San Jose store. Imagine two stories of beautiful kitchen and bathroom vignettes that take the guesswork out of planning your kitchen or bath remodel. KBS’ knowledgeable staff will lead you through the huge selection of all of the top brands you know and trust. “Our salespeople are not on commission,” explains Joseph. “We have staff members who have been with us for 25 years!” Joseph points out that the skilled employees at Kitchen and Bath Showplace really set them apart. “Our staff participates in regular training seminars on our products. It’s not unusual for them to attend one per week. We even invite our customers who are plumbers and contractors to join us so they can better serve their own clients.”

KBS seems to have the formula for success and longevity. They have been supplying the Bay Area with the finest fixtures, sinks, tubs and accessories for over 50 years.Whether you are a contractor looking for pipes and fittings, a decorator working on behalf of a client, or a homeowner, KBS has what you need to get the job done right. Interior Designer Geri Hernandez has experienced the Kitchen and Bath Showplace difference for the past 3 years. “They offer customers relief from the giant warehouse stores. Their showroom offers a place to get up close and actually handle the merchandise.” Geri points out that not only can the sales staff confidently outfit any bathroom or kitchen project, they also educate the customer on why one product will work better than another in the customer’s space. “I recently had a client in Monte Sereno who wanted to design her master bathroom around two antique bronze sconces she owned. With the help of KBS, I was able to select new fixtures and faucets that evoked the same feeling as her antique pieces and create a truly unique space. My client was very happy,” says Geri.

Joseph assures that KBS will always be on top of the latest trends and styles. “White fixtures are actually making a comeback because of their clean, modern look. Rustic brass is still going strong for homeowners who love European décor. We’re seeing a strong culinary influence because people desire a restaurant experience in their own home. And, today it’s all about water conservation.” KBS offers products that cut water output in half, but give you the same level of function.

Whether you’re looking for a new faucet to spice up your kitchen or the most innovative products to transform your bathroom into a spa retreat, prepare to be dazzled by the selection and knowledgeable professionals at Kitchen and Bath Showplace.
