Fixture Selection in Columbus and Central Ohio

A kitchen or bathroom remodel involves dozens of small fixture decisions, faucets, sinks, showerheads, valves, and light fixtures, and choosing them one at a time without a plan is how rooms end up with finishes that don’t quite match. Transit & Flow Group’s design team helps you make plumbing and lighting fixture decisions together, as one coordinated plan, rather than piecemeal. Build a preliminary online estimate, or call (614) 382-0000 to start a fixture selection consultation.

Is this what you’re seeing?

• Planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel with several fixture decisions to make at once, faucets, sinks, showerheads, valves, and light fixtures, and wanting one coordinated plan instead of separate choices
• Trying to match finish, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed brass, or chrome, across every fixture in a room
• Not sure where to start when a project involves both plumbing fixtures and lighting fixtures together
• Wanting general guidance across multiple fixture types rather than a deep dive into one category. This page is that broader starting point. If you already know you specifically need help with faucets, see our narrower Faucet Selection page. If you specifically need help with lighting fixtures, see our narrower Lighting Selection page
• Replacing dated fixtures throughout a home as part of a broader refresh, not tied to a single room remodel
• Wanting fixture materials that hold up to Central Ohio’s hard water without constant cleaning or early wear

Honest pricing

Fixture selection is a consultation-based design service, and pricing depends on how many fixture types and rooms are in scope. There isn’t a widely published standalone market rate specifically for fixture selection, since cost guides typically price the fixtures and installation labor rather than the design guidance that goes into choosing them. As general market context, not a Transit & Flow quote, HomeAdvisor’s 2025 interior design cost data cites an initial design consultation running $150 to $500 for two to four hours, with most residential designers billing $50 to $200 per hour for design time, and fixture selection guidance across multiple categories is often folded into that broader consultation. Our design team walks through finish, style, and function priorities across all the fixtures in your project to build a preliminary online estimate, or you can start with a conversation if you’d rather talk through options first. Final scope and price subject to verification once our design team assesses your space and goals.

What’s included / what’s not included

Typically included:
– Design consultation covering plumbing and lighting fixture decisions across your project as one coordinated plan
– Finish coordination so faucets, showerheads, cabinet hardware, and light fixtures read as one consistent palette
– Comparison of function and style options across sinks, showerheads, valves, and light fixtures
– Referral into our narrower Faucet Selection or Lighting Selection pages when a project only needs one category
– Renderings or mood boards where scoped

Typically not included unless added to scope:
– Fixture purchase, delivery, or installation labor
– Plumbing rough-in or electrical wiring changes needed to accommodate new fixtures
– Cabinet or door hardware selection (see our Hardware Selection page)
– Permit fees, which vary by municipality (permits and inspections may be required)

Why this matters for Central Ohio households

Older homes in Bexley, Upper Arlington, and Worthington often have a mix of original and previously updated fixtures, so a full fixture plan usually means deciding what stays, what gets replaced, and how to make the new pieces read as intentional rather than mismatched. Newer builds in Dublin and New Albany more often start with a blank palette, so the challenge there is usually picking one finish family and function set and carrying it consistently through a kitchen and multiple bathrooms. Central Ohio’s hard water is a real factor across the region: mineral buildup shows more visibly on some finishes than others, and certain finishes resist water spotting better than others, which is worth weighing against the visual style you’re going for before you commit to a finish for an entire home.

Our process

1. Online estimate or design consultation. Use the Estimate Builder or call (614) 382-0000 to describe your project and which fixture types are involved.
2. In-home or virtual design consultation. Our designer reviews the rooms in scope and discusses finish, style, and function priorities.
3. Fixture selection across categories. You choose faucets, showerheads, valves, sinks, and light fixtures as one coordinated plan.
4. Written scope and options. You get a clear scope and pricing before ordering or installation begins.
5. Handoff to installation. Our team coordinates plumbing and electrical trades to install the selected fixtures.
6. Final walkthrough. We confirm every installed fixture matches the approved selection and finish plan.
