Wet Room Ideas for a Small Bathroom

wet room ideas

A few weeks ago I accidentally flooded our bathroom.

After a long day, I started running a bath as soon as the children were tucked into bed for the night.  Before I knew it, I heard a dripping sound in our hallway and suddenly it dawned on me.  I chased up the stairs, observing the water seeping through every available crevice in the bathroom floor.  It was totally careless, but a symptom of family life.  There is so much to get done and the last thing on my mind is some R&R.  So, if our bathroom didn’t need a rethink before, it certainly does now!

In this hot weather, thankfully it only took a few days to dry out, but we are left with a few water marks here and there and the knowledge that it could easily happen again.  This is why the idea of a wet room seems so appealing, not having to worry about the splashes from the bath and shower on a day to day basis and avoiding the drama of a big accident.

With this in mind, here are my wet room ideas for a small bathroom:

Creating Space Our bathroom is small like most bathrooms, with just enough room for a bath, a sink and a toilet.  The great thing about a wet room from My Bathrooms UK is that you are using all the space you have. No confined shower cubicles, to take up yet more space or need to worry about wonky walls and cramped corners.

A sense of luxury I’ve stayed in some lovely hotels and the best of them have had beautiful wet rooms, giving you something extra special for while you’re away.  But why should a wet room only be for a special occasion, especially as a wet room is practical too.   To top the luxury look off you’ll need some accessories, starting with some thick and fluffy towels.  I love the beautiful quality and simplicity of The White Company‘s collection.

A modern design We’ve all had such similar bathrooms for such a long time, a few tiles, the same old sanitary wear.  A wet room gives you the chance to create a striking space.  They give a truly modern streamlined look that should outlast more traditional styles and add value to your house.
