What is a Wet Room?

Wet room bathrooms — a space fully built with materials designed to get wet — usually include a shower space and freestanding tub in their own glass enclosure. Wet rooms continue to be a smart solution for small spaces, but they're also turning up in luxury bathrooms. It's a natural step from the freestanding tub trend.

In this wet room, a stylish freestanding bathtub is strategically placed under an oversized picture window. Floors made of limestone complete the spa-like atmosphere.
