Whether you are deciding which laundry appliance to buy, or how a washer or dryer can be conveniently tucked away, seeing a professionally designed vignette may provide the inspiration required. Sometimes, visiting a spacious showroom, replete with design ideas and high-end appliances, is the first good idea to consider.

Standards of Excellence Appliances and Decorative Plumbing showrooms place all their high-end appliances in the best possible light, says marketing manager Donalyn Hellar.

"Set up to inspire designers, specifiers, and homeowners, we create innovative, practical living solutions in all our 8000sq ft showrooms," she says. "An example is our highlighting of the commercial-grade KitchenAid Pro Line series washer and dryer. This versatile pairing is whisper-quiet, faced in stainless steel, and fits snugly into a variety of cabinetry scenarios."

Standards of Excellence marries good design ideas with high-end appliances.
