Showroom Display Suite for Finishes
A showroom laid out so a customer can open a door, touch a surface and find the same code on the drawing, with several finishes on view at once.
What the photographs show
A suite of display runs, each one in a different finish, set up as rooms rather than as a rack of samples. Tables, chairs and lighting are part of the display, because the customer is being asked to imagine the cabinet in a room.
What the build had to solve
A showroom display is opened far more often than a domestic cabinet, so hinges and catches are specified for that and the doors are set to a 3 mm reveal that survives a hundred openings a day. Each run carries its finish code on a plate, and the lighting is set to the same colour temperature across the suite so two finishes can be compared honestly.
What to copy, and what to avoid
Worth copying: one colour temperature across every display. Worth avoiding: mixing warm and cool light in one suite — it makes two identical finishes look different.

What clients ask about a room like this one
Can I visit the showroom?
Yes, by appointment, and it is worth it if you are choosing between finishes: 63 surfaces look different in a photograph and under the light of the room they will live in.
Do you supply display stands?
We build the display runs themselves, in the finishes being shown. Loose sample boards are a separate, cheaper thing and we send those by post.

Send three photographs of the wall and the bottle count. What comes back is a scheme, a drawing and a fixed price.
