Brandino Brass has become a mainstay in the design, construction and home improvement industry throughout the Southeast.
Located in Homewood, the family-owned hardware and lighting company has been a resource to architects, designers, contractors and homeowners alike with their extensive collection and variety of options.
Brandino Brass displays everything from cabinet hardware and elegant doorknobs to fireballs, bathroom accessories and unique light fixtures. One of the best features of Brandino Brass has always been its beautiful showroom.
In the showroom, clients are able to the view the hardware and lighting in person, instead of online shopping. Customers can see the actual size of each piece, feel the material, see the finish and choose the best option for their home.
In the fall of 2019, owner Eric Brandino realized there was a need for new lighting styles in Birmingham. Renovations began, and after expanding into the space next door, a new lighting showroom is now open at Brandino Brass!
By extending the showroom to include a separate room filled with both interior and exterior lighting, Brandino Brass has been able to expand the lighting options they have to offer.
One of the goals of the renovation was to showcase all of the available beautiful lighting without overwhelming clients by the large variety of options that Brandino has to offer.
““We do not want to be a big lighting company. We’d rather have a more boutique-style, comfortable environment for our homeowners and designers,” Eric Brandino said.
Ginny Monheit of A+G Interior Design is one of the designers who frequently visits Brandino Brass’s showroom. For Ginny, the new showroom helps her to guide her clients through the design process.
“Brandino has a very nice selection of interior and exterior lighting,” Monheit said. “As it pertains to the exterior of a home, the lighting showroom helps us and our clients visualize how the door hardware, shutter hardware, mailbox, etc. is going to look with the exterior lighting that we have selected.”
“I think having the new lighting showroom broadens the expanse of products that we have to offer our clients so that we’re able to provide people with a true one-stop-shop experience,” said Megan Brasher, one of the knowledgeable staff members available to help clients find exactly what they are looking for.
“Working with Brandino Brass makes all of our hardware and lighting needs that much easier,” Monheit added. “They are very knowledgeable about their product and helpful in making selections. However, their service does not stop there. They are willing to go to our clients’ homes and count the exterior versus interior doors, cabinets, drawers, hinges and anything else the client needs. And once the product has arrived, they help with product placement and locations. They could not be more full service.”
The beautiful lighting showroom is now open to designers, homeowners or anyone who simply wants to peruse the offerings in a calm and comfortable environment.
