Now that you’ve decided on a wet room remodel, the next step would be to plan and design the space. After all, you won’t be able to fully reap the rewards if the space isn’t designed correctly. To start, you can request a detailed bathroom estimate from a reliable home remodeling contractor like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of South Valley. Here are some of the design essentials we may discuss with you when planning your wet room remodel:
Decide on the surface material.
The walls and floors not only affect the look and feel of the wet room but also the way you clean and maintain the space. That’s why you should pick your surface materials carefully. One classic option, for example, is tile. It’s cost-effective,readily available and comes in a wide array of colors and patterns that allow for many aesthetic possibilities. Keep in mind that tile has grout lines, so cleanup and maintenance will take more effort.
If you’re looking for a great alternative, you can always go for natural stone. It’s tough, low-maintenance, and available in lovely neutral colors that give your wet room a timeless and spa-like vibe, especially when paired with warm wood elements. Whatever surface materials you choose, ensure they’re ‘tanked’ to avoid discoloration and moisture damage.

Invest in an effective ventilation system.
A wet room may be called that, but it’s still important to keep it dry and moisture-free when not in use. The tanked walls of a wet room help ensure that moisture won’t end up seeping into the surface material, and its sloped floor keeps water from pooling. But moisture may still linger in the air, which is where proper ventilation comes into play. You’ll want to have one or two exhaust fans to expel warm and moisture-laden air from the space. This can be augmented by adding more windows; just leave them open for a few minutes to let fresh, cooling air inside your wet room. If it’s not possible to add windows, try having a vented skylight installed instead.
Consider adding a shower screen.
The main point of a wet room is to create a bathroom that’s open and seamless. But for aesthetic purposes, many homeowners still put up screens to make the shower or tub area look more distinctive compared to the rest of the room. If you want to try the same thing, go for frameless glass shower screens. This way, you get the visual statement you’re aiming for while maintaining the sleek and spacious feel of the wet room.
