We shall show you examples of wet room design ideas which are modern, functional and especially good looking.

Wet rooms are the perfect solution for limited spaces. This, of course, does not mean, that it has to be dull and boring.

On the downside one may point out the fact that towels and bathroom accessories will require some special attention when storing, so that they do not get soaked. It is advisable that such rooms are tiled from floor to ceiling and this may be costly.

A good design means a good bathroom. On the planning stage of your wet room you need to make sure that all the fittings and furniture pieces will be functional and on their right place. Although they are mostly designed in small areas, there are quite many wet room design ideas in large spaces as many people prefer a more open space. Usually the space lacks a bathtub which leaves more free space.

Modern designs are focused on the visual appeal and convenience, as well as efficiency. Wall and floor tiles in brighter colors enlarge a small space visually. Shower heads can be fixed to the wall or the ceiling and the toilet and bathroom sink can be placed away from the shower area to minimize exposure to the spray of water.
