Measure the space
Before we can make a design we need accurate measurements. This can be a blueprint or a sketch where you have noted the measurements. It is often useful to have the measurements of neighbouring spaces, for example if part of the cabinet wall can be built in this space.
The most important measurements:
- Length and breadth of the room
- Ceiling height
- Position of doors and windows and the direction of opening
- Parapet height of windows
- Position of radiators
- Location of columns or other obstacles
- Location of drains, heating pipes etc
Indien u een bestaande woning gaat verbouwen, is het handig om foto’s van de ruimte mee te nemen.

Take the time
At Koolschijn we think it’s important that you have the time to make good choices. At your first appointment we will discuss your preference and make the design. At a follow up appointment we will take the time to go through the estimate and the design by way of a 3D drawing.
The checklist is purely an aid to make you aware of the possibilities. Our experienced consultants will show you different options. Also, in our showroom there are almost 30 show bathrooms.
