Adopted Retailers
A key feature is the sample library – curated mood boards showcasing on-trend colours and finishes, refreshed regularly to keep the offer current. “It’s just creating an inspiring space without being overwhelming,” Mason adds.
Expansion underway Perhaps the clearest signal of that confidence is the decision to expand into the neighbouring
unit – a move that will effectively double the showroom footprint. “It was a lot sooner than we were anticipating,” Mason explains. “But had we not taken that opportunity, then it could be that someone else had a five year lease there, so we had to act fast.” The additional space will allow for around five new displays, but more importantly, it opens the door to new categories – most notably wellness. “There will be a wellness suite at the front, which will have a sauna cabin,” Mason reveals. The rise of wellness in the bathroom is something the team has already seen first-hand. “I think it’s just booming,” Mason says. “Having been through Covid, it really shifted how people view their homes, and bringing the things people go out for into their homes is way more accessible now.” By showcasing these products in real-life settings, the showroom aims to demystify the
category. “Being able to see them in real room situations, makes people actually recognise that it’s not intrusive. That’s actually really simple to fit in,” says Mason. Alongside the new displays, the expanded showroom will also play host to events, with
plans for regular networking sessions aimed at architects, designers and contractors. Like many independent retailers, one of the biggest challenges for Artis Bathrooms has been time – or more specifically, the lack of it. “The biggest headache has been a lack of time,” Mason admits. “There’s so many things that would help with our efficiency, but having the time to physically implement that is a different conversation.” The story reflects a positive reality: demand is there, and the foundations are solid. With a clear proposition, a carefully curated showroom and expansion already in motion, Artis Bathrooms is a retailer that looks set to build on its early success. kbbr
