ASK THE EXPERT


somewhere in the design as well. Many people want to recreate a ‘hotel spa’ type environment, and from my experience this will give you delight for years to come. That feeling of escaping the world for a few minutes of bliss can sooth the soul in a way unlike any other part of the home, in my opinion.


WHAT ABOUT LIGHTING? LED lighting has revolutionised the world and there is no reason your wetroom should not be included. Subtle lighting combined with glass can transform a wetroom’s look, and with the right advice from a bathroom or lighting specialist you can use low voltage IP44 rated lighting to enhance the environment and further soothe the senses.


NOW FOR THE REST OF THE ROOM! Once you have a clear idea of how and why the room will be used, it’s time to think about the rest of the environment. If you are going for an authentic wetroom environment then you will need to research completely waterproof options. However, if the


shower is going to be reasonably contained, there is no reason not to choose WC and furniture options to suit your design style. Whereas a few years ago a basin and pedestal was the natural choice, the majority of our sales now include furniture units, to go with even a


standard close coupled WC. If you share your bathroom with a loved one, why not consider a double basin unit – romance and extended storage all in one!
