The idea is fairly simple: Take a room, put a drain in the middle of it, and tile all four walls. You now have your very own wetroom. While this concept is popular in Europe, it has not gained the popularity or exposure here in the States. But as our nation continues to age, the idea of barrier-free interiors continues to be a focus in home remodeling, and wetrooms are the epitome of barrier-free spaces. Everything is raised up off the floor, and there are no internal walls, doors or shower curbs to get in the way.
Wetrooms present one particular design challenge: How do you make a room full of tile and cold surfaces inviting? Here are 8 tips on how to create a warm and inviting wetroom of your very own.
Step One
Add warmth in tile and wood selections. The most common perception of wetrooms is that they are cold because of all the tile. The use of cream and beige tiles in this wetroom variation give it a warm and luxurious feeling. High windows, a floating wood vanity brings in additional beauty and warmth. It's a beautiful bathroom that just happens to also be a wetroom.
