If you're looking to incorporate a wet room into your home, you'll want to take a look at these 15 remarkable spaces that will have you feeling ready to go all in design-wise. Wet rooms are bathing areas that generally include both a shower and tub. There are no steps or major walls involved in sectioning these spaces off from the rest of the bathroom. Wet rooms provide an excellent opportunity to experiment with a fun tile design—either on the walls or floor—or to go bold with a paint color that speaks to you. Check out a few of our favorites below.
