DALLAS, August 8, 2016 – Soci, one of the largest designers and wholesalers of high-end tile and kitchen and bath products in the United States, is featured in the 2016 Southern Living’s Idea House in Birmingham, Alabama, for its contribution of bath sinks used in the 4,130-square-foot cottage-style home’s 4.5 bathrooms. The Idea House showcases the latest design ideas and style tips and is featured heavily in the August issue of Southern Living.

“The iconic and esteemed Southern Living brand is a household name for anyone in the South. The Idea House is not just a beautifully designed home, but it’s a cumulation of Southern trends and ideals that make up the classic Southern Living image. Soci’s versatile bath sinks fit seamlessly in with the traditional southern decor in this year’s Idea House,” said Todd Simpson, president of Soci.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Southern Living magazine, the Idea House added a twist this year by selecting five of today’s best young designers and setting them loose to decorate this charming home. The house is a fresh take on traditional Southern style, thanks to Birmingham native and long-standing Idea House architect Bill Ingram and the five designers Mark Sikes, Amy Berry, Ashley Gilbreath, Lauren Liess and Margaret Kirkland.

Soci’s products featured in the 2016 Southern Living Idea House includes six white M Series Vitreous Oval Undermount sinks in all bathrooms throughout the house. Each easy-to-clean sink measures at 16-1/4? x 13-1/4? and combines a sleek transition from the smooth oval basin to almost any solid-surface countertop. The sinks can be used in both traditional and modern bathroom decors.

As part of Soci’s ongoing public relations efforts, the company seeks product placement opportunities in popular home improvement and design television programs on DIY Network, HGTV, FYI Network, and most notably FOX’s Home Free, as well as high-profile showcase homes produced by national magazines, such as Better Homes and Gardens.
