Ferguson releases study on consumer views on home remodeling and showrooms

Recently, Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery asked consumers to share their views on home remodeling and showrooms during COVID-19. Key findings include:

• Americans have many reasons for renovating or building a home and COVID-19 is having an impact on which rooms they are looking to redesign.
• Most Americans, especially older Americans, would visit a showroom if they were to renovate or build a home. It is important to Americans to be able to touch and feel the appliances/fixtures, see products in action and have access to whole room product solutions.
• Many Americans would prefer to select appliances and fixtures themselves, but Americans who own a home other than a house, younger Americans, and men are more likely to say that they would leave all of the decisions to the professionals.
• When looking at specific appliances, most Americans would change their stove/oven and refrigerator first in their kitchen and their shower and bathtub in their bathroom.
• Many Americans like the idea of smart home functionality in their homes, particularly the kitchen.
