THE WET ROOM: HIGH-END APPEAL & EFFICIENT BEAUTY
Wet rooms have become increasingly popular in new homes & renovations for several compelling reasons:
Open & Spacious Feel
Seamless Design: Wet rooms eliminate the need for traditional and separate bathtub areas, allowing the entire bathroom to flow as a single, open space. This creates a more spacious feel, even in smaller bathrooms.
Minimalist Aesthetic: The absence of barriers like shower curtains or enclosed shower walls contributes to a sleek, minimalist look that is visually appealing and optimizes the space.
Luxury & Spa-like Experience
High-End Appeal: Wet rooms are often associated with luxury and are frequently found in upscale hotels and spas. Incorporating a wet room into a home brings that high-end, spa-like experience into everyday life.
Customizable Features: Wet rooms allow for the use of premium materials, such as natural stone, high-quality tiles, and designer fixtures, enhancing the overall luxury look.
With all of the space, clients frequently request a car wash shower – rain head, multiple body sprays, handheld shower heads, and of course multiple regular shower heads.
Ease of Maintenance
Simple Cleaning: With fewer corners, joints, and edges to clean, wet rooms are easier to maintain. The open design means fewer areas for dirt and grime to accumulate.
Waterproofing: Wet rooms are entirely waterproofed, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage, making them a practical and long-lasting solution.
Accessibility
Barrier-Free Design: Wet rooms are ideal for people with mobility issues, as they offer easy access without the need for stepping over a bathtub or into a shower enclosure, and we can also design them to be zero entry with no barriers. This makes them a popular choice for aging-in-place design.
Universal Design: Wet rooms are inherently inclusive, accommodating users of all ages and abilities without sacrificing style.
FLEXIBLE LAYOUTS
Design Versatility: Wet rooms can be tailored to fit any space, whether it’s a compact bathroom or a larger, more luxurious space. This flexibility allows designers to create layouts that best utilize the available area.
Creative Freedom: The open nature of a wet room allows for creative tile patterns, lighting solutions, and the incorporation of unique architectural features, making each design unique.
Increased Property Value
The open & airy look and feel of wet rooms can increase the appeal of a property to potential buyers, making it a worthwhile investment. A well-designed wet room can often boost the resale value of a home.
Environmental Benefits
Water Efficiency: Many wet rooms are designed with efficient water use in mind, incorporating features like low-flow showerheads and efficient drainage systems. This can contribute to a more sustainable home design.
Wet rooms are highly regarded in interior design for their aesthetic appeal, practicality, and ability to provide a luxurious, spa-like experience at home. Their design flexibility and accessibility make them a versatile choice for both modern and traditional homes.
