We want to make sure you get the most from your bathroom design consultation at The KOHLER Store. Therefore, we'd like you to do a bit of bathroom consultation preparation so we can learn as much as we can about your current bath and future vision. To help you, we've created the bathroom design checklist, below, to help you think through your specific bathroom design specifications. Use this bathroom space planning checklist as you prepare for your visit to the The KOHLER Store.
To help us, please bring the following information from your bathroom design checklist with you to your appointment:
- Photos of your current bathroom
- The measurements and a sketch of your current bathroom including the basic arrangement of doors, windows and fixtures
- Images that show a particular architectural theme or details that represent the style of your home
- A list of things in your current bathroom that aren't working or that you don't like
- A list of features you'd love to have in your new bathroom
- Magazine clippings or books with pictures of bathrooms that appeal to you
Measuring your space for bathroom consultation preparation
You can choose to sketch your own floor plan, but you might prefer to have a Kohler design expert from The KOHLER Store visit your home to assist you with your bathroom space planning checklist. Our Kohler design expert will accurately record the location of all plumbing, electrical and heating/cooling vents, as well as take notes on existing flooring, tile treatments and finishes. Here's what needs to be determined:
