A wet room bathroom is a fully waterproof, open-plan shower space that combines practicality with contemporary design. Whether you’re creating a luxurious retreat or updating a small bathroom, a well-planned wet room can improve your home’s style and functionality.
Since a wet room is entirely waterproof, investing in high-quality tanking (waterproofing) and an efficient drainage system is essential. A sloped floor leading to a central or linear drain ensures water flows away correctly, preventing pooling and leaks.
Non-slip, water-resistant materials like porcelain tiles, microcement, or natural stone are ideal for wet rooms. Large-format tiles with minimal grout lines enhance both the aesthetic and waterproofing.
Positioning fixtures strategically helps maintain a seamless flow. Keeping the toilet and vanity slightly away from the shower area minimises excessive splashing, while glass partitions can subtly define zones without disrupting the open-plan feel.
Wet rooms can feel cooler due to their open design, so underfloor heating is a great way to keep the space warm and dry. It also helps water evaporate quickly, reducing excess moisture and preventing mould growth.
Wall-mounted sinks, floating vanities, and concealed cisterns create a sleek, clutter-free look. Consider a rainfall showerhead for a luxury feel, and opt for stainless steel or brass fittings to resist moisture and maintain durability.
Since wet rooms have limited traditional storage options, built-in wall niches, recessed shelving, or floating cabinets can keep toiletries organised without compromising space. Waterproof storage units are a practical yet stylish choice.
