Bathroom Suite – Wet and Dry Areas

In general, a bathroom can be divided into two areas: the dry area where you mainly the toilet and hence not much water, and the wet area where you wash yourself and easily splash water around. Such division will not only facilitate your interior layout design but also make the whole bathroom suite look more orderly and neat.

In a limited space, it may not be necessary to differentiate between the dry and wet areas. In a large space, e.g. 10-15 square meters, however, if such division is not made and not followed by interior layout design, the room may look chaotic and even inconvenient to use.

There are several ways to separate the dry area of the washroom from the wet area, but generally you can use different materials when flooring the washroom. In the dry area, wood is preferred to tile, while it is vice versa in the wet area. Also, if you have a bath tub instead of shower enclosure in your bathroom suite, you can consider separating it from the dry area by installing a glass sliding door or shower curtain, which is not only economical but also aesthetical since you can choose the pattern of sliding door or shower curtain according to your own artistic taste.

With the wet area separated, the dry area of the washroom is given a greater potential. It links the washroom with the living room and if space permits, you can even move the wardrobe and closet in to make it your special dressing area before you go out.
