When it comes to versatile, accessible bathing solutions, the wet room has become an increasingly popular option, especially for smaller bathrooms where space is at a premium.
Whilst minimalist functionality is the main benefit of a wet room, it has increasingly become a popular renovation option, as a well-designed wet room can add value to a property and pay for itself in the long run.
Small bathrooms are among the most difficult rooms to design, so here are some top tips for making the most of the space.
Consider Creative Storage
Given that a wet room is essentially a room-sized shower, one of the issues that every designer will need to contend with is splashback from the shower, especially if a glass screen is not a practical option.
This means that for bathroom products that could get wet, such as towels and toilet rolls, creative solutions are required in terms of storage, to ensure you make the most of the space available.
Add Underfloor Heating
One of the benefits of a small bathroom is that adding underfloor heating is more affordable than it would be for a larger room. Indeed it may be worth considering that when getting your wet room fitted, to avoid losing too much heat after a shower.
As well as this, underfloor heating is another hotly-desired home feature that could add to the value of a home.
Style In Monochrome
The ideal colour to use in a small room is white, as that helps to increase the perception of space. However, for a modern, stylish look, consider adding matte black and grey accessories to add a unique, contemporary finish.
