Find the Best Faucets in America: DXV New York Showroom

Day 3 of our Blog Tour started with a wonderful lunch sponsored by DXV was incredible!

Did I mention we ate about every 10 minutes on this tour?!? We were extremely spoiled to say the least! Every meal in an incredible little restaurant! You’ve got to read about our Peasant restaurant experience if you want some more NYC restaurant action. After lunch, it was on to DXV’s new showroom.

With the HUGE array of plumbing and bath fixtures on the market today, you really have to do something FABULOUS to “stick out” in the crowd. So imagine our delight when we were invited to the luxurious DXV showroom to see their newly curated collections – and they were absolutely GORGEOUS and incredibly unique!

 

As interior designers living in Las Vegas, we don’t have many showrooms where we can take our clients to see the products we suggest (and pictures don’t always do them justice). I have to say I am a tad bit jealous of this resource right at this local designer’s fingertips! Come to Vegas DXV! We need you! LOL.

See our fellow blogger Typhanie Peterson in the slide show above – trying out the new tub!

If you’re not familiar with DXV, they are the luxury brand from American Standard. They did something really unique in the marketing world. With the direction of Modenus – also the organizer and founder of our Blog Tour – they asked for the help of six established designers to help them design the new products! This is deceptively brilliant!

Normally companies don’t consult with the working staff, ha ha! (In other words, those hard working designers out in the field! And believe me, we ALWAYS have an opinion on how things could be done better! But there were just about seventeen of us on the tour, and the vote was unanimous – we LOVED all four collections!!!

Each one has its own video (another great marketing tool). I don’t know about you, but I am lazy when it comes to technical information. Give it to me in a glossy package with music and soft photography and I love it! And my clients feel the same way. Also, we love everyone we met at DXV. I prefer to do business with people who are passionate and excited about their brand and their company – an extra plus!

 

When I returned home, I realized the faucet I use every day is American Standard – it was the builder standard {no pun intended} that came with our house. Before the Blog Tour, I was perfectly satisfied with it, but NOW I think I am due for a trade-in! DXV, do you need designers to test drive the faucets we saw? I would be honored to turn the handle! LOL. I’m ready to get onto bigger and better things on my sink. What about you folks?

That’s the great thing about brand awareness – once you fall in love with a product line, you will find ways to incorporate it into your designs. I will, for sure!

If you missed our previous posts, make sure you check out the rest of our NYC Interior Design Blog Tour! There’s  A LOT to be discovered in the BIG APPLE and this post and the pictures in the slideshow above are just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh! I’m taking a poll….please comment below to let me know what brand of faucets you have in your home 🙂
