If you want to spend a little extra on your bathroom and feel like splashing the cash, then treat yourself to numerous showerheads. With various showerheads, you can have multiple showers in one creating a spa experience showering under rainfall or using the power fitting to wake you up in those early mornings.
Heating solutions
When planning your wet room, you should consider underfloor heating. Underfloor heating is energy efficient, although the initial cost is high it will save you money over time. Installing a wet room is ideal to help stabilise humidity, evaporate surplus standing water and take the chill off the tiled floor (essential for the upcoming winter months).
Lighting
Lighting is a crucial part of any room aesthetic, incorporating natural light will help create a calming experience for your bathroom as well as choosing the right artificial light to go with this.
As you can see in this image lofts are an ideal place for natural light because rooftop windows don’t typically need frosting, which allows sunlight to beam through.

Creative drainage solutions
One of the cons mentioned above was the shower will soak the room, therefore you need a creative drainage system. Spending a little more money on using an effective drainage system offers a centerpiece for your bathroom as well as it being practical.
