When it comes to modern Bristol bathrooms we are seeing a trend where there are less traditional tubs and more wet rooms. Having a wet room in your home is very achievable, and it doesn’t have to cost the earth. A wet room will add both luxury and a sense of functionality to your home, and of course it will boost the price of your property. So, how to go about creating the perfect wet room for your home? Read on for tips and tricks from Bristol Builders Network that won’t break the bank.
Bristol Bathrooms : Wet Room Ideas
To make your wet room stand out from the crowd, search for your own accessories. These don’t need to be expensive, yet can really make your room look new and fresh. Small changes to your wet room can make an impact, and these can include anything from new bath mats, to some greenery in a vase in the corner of your room. Painting the walls of your wet room can also make a big change. The walls that aren’t tiled can be painted in any colour you want to freshen up or neutralize the overall feel of your bathroom.
Your Shower
The biggest choice you will have to make when creating the perfect wet room is your shower. The shower is the main attraction in your new room, and professional advice can go a long way when deciding on a layout for your room. You may choose a totally open wet room, or alternatively one with a dividing wall that will protect your bathroom towels and accessories from getting wet.
The shower head you choose for your new wet room is also important. Ask your Bristol bathroom specialists about which type of shower head is suitable for the water type you have in your home. Choose from a rainfall shower to a powerful massage shower, or anything in between.
To make your wet room individual and stand out from other Bristol bathrooms, be careful with your selection of tiles. Your wet room will require a large area to be tiled, so depending on your budget you may choose standard tiles for the larger area and some accent and centre piece tiles to add luxury and impact to your room.
Cabinets and Accessories
Like with any bathroom, you will need to make some choices on cabinetry and accessories. Choose mirrored bathroom cabinets to add an extra allure to your room, and avoid under sink cabinets that could get wet from the shower spray.
Other accessories you will need to choose are mirrors and lighting. A well-lit wet room is essential. If your bathroom receives little or no natural light, this can be achieved with strip lighting and LED bulbs. Ensuring your bathroom is bright and airy is essential, and will make for a wet room that you enjoy spending time in. Take your inspiration from your favourite hotel or from a bathroom magazine, or allow your Bristol bathrooms experts to guide you with your choices on style and finish.
