1. Wet rooms tend to require more space since they can’t be small rooms where a bath or toilet or sink or vanity is right next to the shower that will essentially be open.

2. The drainage and slanting of the floor will be handled by the builders, but you will want to situate the showerheads away from spraying a cabinet or an area you would prefer never got wet.

3. You will want stone, tile or teal wood, or a blend of these to make wet room showers practical. Usually the entire space will be sealed, the stone or tile or wood treated and areas that are painted will be done so with a polyurethane paint or a sealant and then a very water resistant coat of paint on top.

A well designed walk in shower wet room could be the focal point of your home, and this is not something you will get in a kit or find all ready in a showroom because wet rooms are uniquely created for a specific space. All you can do is get ideas, discuss them with your architect or contractor and make them reality based on your budget and your space.

Ideas for Wet Room Showers

Glass blocks, stone, mosaic tiles, wooden benches, curved walls to separate toilet and sink, and other little extras like dual or triple shower heads all are things that can be added to a walk in shower wet room and make them unique. Using a single panel of glass, not as a door, but as a divider from the toilet or from a cabinet or other area may be all the division you need between shower and the rest of the room. An open bathhouse feeling can also be obtained by using mosaic tiles on walls and floors. A rustic teak bathhouse feeling can be achieved with stone and wood, always teak, for floors and walls and accented with wooden benches. An art deco design can be had using curved walls as entryways or a s partial dividers. Glass blocks can give light, be used as half wall dividers, even be used in place of sheet glass.

One of the best part of wet room showers is that they can be built as easily for two or three as they can for one, so add two or more showerheads and enjoy having a back scrub once in a while.
