Functionally elegant wet rooms are the way forward

Functional and elegant – Scandinavian-inspired wet rooms are the way forward! Create a beautiful walk-in-shower with minimal fuss. A sleek simplistic look ensures that your wet room is practically maintenance free which means that you have more time to enjoy all that a wet room has to offer.

Sleek, stylish, and always contemporary

Forward thinking and everyday luxury is easily achievable with a Scandinavian-inspired wet room. Take the showering experience to another level with an open-plan walk-in-shower. For a stylish contemporary look, integrate clean lines with neutral bright colours.

Be Ultra-Modern

Embrace the showering evolution by creating a dramatic design statement. The future is now with a walk-in-shower glass base. The addition of a frameless glass screen will minimise visual interruptions. For a true Scandinavian effect, add a touch of dark sharp tones contrasted with white bright materials.

Think Big with Small Spaces

A wet room does not have to be reserved for large bathroom areas you can pull off a beautiful wetroom in big or small rooms. Solve the problem of awkward spaces by installing a walk-in-shower in the corner of a room. Achieving a space-enhancing seamless look in true Scandinavian fashion has never been easier.

Make a Bold Visual Impact

Be ahead of the curve with a cool pared back visual effect. Neutral colours contrasted with a black free-standing cabinet make for an ultra-modern Scandinavian-inspired design. Add a white wall mounted sink for a sleek minimalistic look.
