What trends are you seeing with regard to home design and remodeling?

ACCOUNT MANAGER PROSOURCE OF BATON ROUGE (LA)

How long have you worked for ProSource Wholesale? I’ve been with ProSource for 5 years.

What’s your favorite part of being a team member at ProSource Wholesale? The relationships I’ve built with other team members and trade pro members.

How do you interact with your in-house kitchen and bath designer as a cohesive team for the trade pro and the client?

How would you describe the difference between the service you offer at ProSource Wholesale versus other home remodeling stores? At most stores, you encounter a different person every time, who may not know the products and probably doesn’t know you. At ProSource, every trade pro has an assigned account manager who works with them to build a relationship and help them meet their clients’ needs.

I meet with the trade pro and their client to discuss the specific project needs. Then I get together with our kitchen & bath designer to come up with a design that meets those needs.

What trends do you see developing with regard to home remodeling? Here in the South, trends are slow to change. We still see mostly open floorplans with lots of wood and neutral colors.

What trends are you seeing with regard to products? There are more 4x4 and 6x6 subway tiles, which are also textured with different light colors like pinks and blues.

What are a couple of your favorite flooring products?

What’s one piece of advice you would advocate to homeowners before they begin a project? Be patient, because it is a process. That will help prepare you for what to expect.

I sell a lot of Southern Traditions Heritage Heights engineered hardwood. The rustic look with grooves and textures is very popular in this area.

Staying Flexible Another essential part of this concept is the flexibility to meet changing seating and eating configuration needs, such as a game night, a large extended family dinner, a party and other situations. Furniture choices will focus on comfort and mobility. It will also impact flooring selections where versatility and durability become as important as style.

Going With The Flow The integrated kitchen dynamic calls for a smooth flow between the central island and adjoining dining and living spaces. The layout, colors and materials will all serve to create a fluid transition, starting with the choice of flooring. Expect a major emphasis on low-maintenance styles with striking looks that offer excellent stain-resistance, exceptional durability and premium comfort in a range of materials, like the expanding lines of waterproof hardwood, LVT and carpet.

Repurposing Space Reimagining and repurposing existing spaces will be key to creating a home office. This will require careful review of the needs for electrical outlets, storage space, work surface dimensions and more.

A bedroom corner or a large closet may be suitable for minimal space and usage requirements. However, the dining room is often unused space in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyles, so it will become a prime option for repurposing, especially when a larger work area is desired.

What trends do you see developing with regard to home remodeling? Out here in the desert, we see a lot of demand for white cabinetry and white kitchens, as well as natural golden oak flooring. We’re also selling more engineered hardwood and waterproof LVT for families with kids, as well as more organic white stone looks in marble and porcelain tile.

What trends are you seeing with regard to products? Waterproof, wood-look vinyl planks are a fastgrowing trend, especially with the higher quality of their graphics. Patterned carpet with color, cyclic wood and tile are all popular.

How would you describe the difference between the service you offer at ProSource Wholesale versus other home remodeling stores? Here, it’s all about building relationships. We make sure every member and client are greeted the minute they walk in the door and treated with genuine hospitality. You won’t find that in a big box store.

What’s one piece of advice you would advocate to homeowners before they begin a project? Be prepared for anything… it can be very stressful, but you’ll love the end result.
