Showrooms

Gerhard's Kitchen, Bath & Lighting Store has multiple showroom locations across the region. Visit our Showrooms page for addresses, hours, and directions to the location nearest you.

Yes! Walk-ins are welcome during regular showroom hours. However, for the best experience — especially if you have a specific project in mind — we recommend scheduling a Design Consultation so a designer can dedicate time to you. Walk-in availability varies by location and time of day.

To make the most of your visit, bring floor plans or room measurements, inspiration photos or mood boards, paint swatches, cabinet samples, or photos of your existing space. The more context you bring, the better our design team can help you select the right products.

A typical design consultation lasts 60–90 minutes. More complex projects — such as a full kitchen or master bath renovation — may require additional sessions. We'll work at your pace and schedule follow-ups as needed.

Absolutely. We encourage homeowners to bring their contractor, builder, or interior designer. Collaboration early in the process helps ensure seamless product selection, accurate lead times, and a smoother installation. See our Trade Professionals section for information on contractor accounts.

We love animals, but for the safety and comfort of all guests, pets are not permitted inside our showrooms. Service animals are always welcome.

Design Consultations

During your consultation, one of our experienced designers will review your project scope, discuss your style preferences and functional needs, walk the showroom with you, and help you select plumbing fixtures, lighting, cabinetry hardware, and more that work together cohesively. You'll leave with product recommendations tailored to your project and budget.

Design consultations at Gerhard's are complimentary. There is no charge for meeting with one of our showroom designers. We're here to help you find the right products for your project.

You can schedule a consultation in several ways:

Yes. We offer virtual consultations via video call for clients who cannot visit a showroom in person. Contact us to arrange a virtual appointment with one of our designers.

Floor plans and measurements are most helpful. Also bring inspiration images, photos of your existing space, and notes on your timeline and budget. If you've already selected cabinetry or flooring, bring samples so our team can coordinate finishes and styles.

Yes — product coordination is one of the most valuable parts of working with a Gerhard's designer. We'll help ensure your fixtures, finishes, and lighting work together across the entire space.
