It is becoming increasingly popular to have a wet room instead of a traditional shower enclosure. There is a good reason for this: wet rooms are stylish, practical, and are a great option for small bathrooms. A wet room maximizes space for the shower, so you don’t feel cramped, and they are suitable for all bathrooms.

A wet room literally turns you whole bathroom into a wet room, similar to an over-sized walk in shower. With a small shower screen, you can separate the shower from the toilet, yet feel like the shower is large and roomy. Where a traditional shower cubicle may fit into a corner, but still seem to take up valuable space, a wet room can be a much better option.

Whereas a traditional shower stall has distinct doors and walls, a wet room conversion eliminates this separation. With a traditional bathroom, this separation is necessary in order to prevent water from getting out of the shower area. However, with a wet room, this problem is eliminated. And without the need for a door or walls, you can make your bathroom look wide open.

Wet rooms are more prevalent in Europe than in the United States, and like many other European fixtures connotate luxury and indulgence. They are a great way to make your bathroom look high end and increase the value of your home as well.

It’s also worth noting that a wet room conversion can make an otherwise inaccessible bathroom easy for someone with a disability to use. This may not work all cases, but in general, wets rooms make great walk in showers for elderly family members. This is because the more room they have to move, the easier the shower is to use.

You may not have considered converting your small bathroom into a wet room, but it is definitely a way to make the space look bigger. While this type of renovation isn’t for everyone, it is a great option for many.
