This couple came to us as newly transplanted homeowners in Sterling, MA, uprooted from Rochester, MA so they could be closer to their growing family and granddaughter. The former kitchen was a bit of a “Plain Jane”, but we transformed it into a charming, modern country farmhouse kitchen. The custom paint color on the cabinets came from a Wood-Mode sample called “Agate.” This lovely paint color is a chameleon, ranging from gray/green, to a beautiful blue hue depending on the lighting conditions. The uniqueness of this color is what caught the homeowner’s eye and it has become a customer favorite. This Sterling home is the perfect setting for such a beautiful color! As a trained chef and former restaurant owner, the husband does all the cooking in the house. Ample room was needed for prepping and serving, so he loves the long, wide peninsula. A full-height quartz backsplash behind the range and sink make for easy clean up. Very deep drawers flank both sides of the range, and the top drawer has special storage for spices. The cabinet over the refrigerator has vertical partitions for both cookie sheets, trays and pans. A tall pantry to the right of the refrigerator is equipped with heavy duty wood rollouts perfect for storing dry goods. Conveniently located to the right of the sink is a double trash cabinet. The end of the peninsula also has a 27” wide cabinet with dual rollouts storing small appliances, casserole dishes & Tupperware. The new space has plenty of room for prepping, cooking and entertaining family and guests in the adjacent dining room. Stepping outside the “white & gray” of common paints into this beautiful custom color has delighted these customers and their friends. We find it both inviting and soothing, a cool color that will be stylish for years to come!

Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces; they’re mini sanctuaries where we unwind, reset, and start or end the day. One of the biggest trends driving modern bathroom design is the move towards open, spacious layouts – and at the centre of that look is the wet room shower screen. At BathroomNation, we’ve helped countless homeowners transform traditional bathrooms into sleek, practical wet rooms using high-quality wet room shower screens. In this blog, we’ll explain what a wet room shower screen is, why it’s such a smart choice, how to plan and style it, and what to look for when choosing the perfect one for your home. What Is a Wet Room Shower Screen? A wet room shower screen is a fixed or semi-fixed glass panel designed to separate your shower area from the rest of the bathroom floor, without enclosing it like a traditional cubicle. Instead of a full tray and door, you have:

• A level or gently sloped floor (often fully tiled)
• A walk-in, open shower space
• One or more glass panels providing splash protection

The shower screen helps contain water spray, while keeping the room visually open and easy to access. It’s the ideal solution for creating that walk‑in, hotel‑style shower experience at home. Why Choose a Wet Room Shower Screen? A wet room shower screen offers several practical and aesthetic benefits that make it an increasingly popular choice. 1. A Sense of Space and Openness Traditional shower enclosures can visually chop up a room, especially if they use heavy framing or smaller panels. A wet room shower screen, usually made from large, clear glass panels, allows the eye to travel further and lets light flow freely. This is particularly valuable in:

• Small bathrooms that feel cramped
• Rooms with limited or no natural light
• Long, narrow spaces where every inch counts

With a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation, your bathroom instantly feels larger and more luxurious. 2. Easy Access and Better Accessibility Because a wet room shower area is typically level with the rest of the bathroom floor, you don’t need to step over a high tray edge or navigate a narrow door opening. This makes it:

• Ideal for people with limited mobility
• Safer for older users and children
• More comfortable for everyday use

A wet room shower screen provides the necessary splash protection while keeping the shower zone wide and open. 3. Clean, Minimalist Look Wet rooms are the epitome of modern bathroom design: clean lines, minimal clutter, and a focus on beautiful surfaces. A simple glass screen supports that look perfectly. With BathroomNation’s wet room shower screens, you can achieve:

• Almost invisible glass boundaries
• Minimal metal hardware and framing
• A seamless link between shower and non-shower areas

The result is a calming, contemporary space that feels more like a boutique spa than a basic bathroom. 4. Easy Cleaning and Maintenance Fewer frames, tracks, and corners mean fewer places for grime and mould to build up. A wet room shower screen is largely just flat glass:

• Quick to wipe down after a shower
• Simple to clean with standard glass cleaner
• Less prone to discoloured seals and hard-to-reach dirt

Many BathroomNation screens also feature easy‑clean coatings to make maintenance even simpler. Types of Wet Room Shower Screens Not all wet room screens are the same. At BathroomNation, we offer various layouts and styles to suit different rooms and preferences. 1. Single Fixed Panel The most minimalist option is a single fixed glass panel mounted directly to the floor and wall. This works well when:

• The shower head is positioned sensibly to minimise overspray
• Your bathroom is medium or large in size
• You want an ultra‑open, walk‑in feel

A single wet room shower screen panel is a popular choice for modern renovations and new builds. 2. Fixed Panel with Deflector For extra splash protection without adding a full door, you can choose a fixed panel with a hinged or angled deflector section at the end. This:

• Extends coverage
• Helps keep more water inside the shower area
• Still keeps the openness of a walk‑in design

It’s a smart compromise where you want a bit more control over water spray. 3. Wet Room Screen with Hinged Return Panel Some layouts use a main fixed panel plus a smaller hinged return panel that can swing inwards or outwards. This allows you to:

• Increase the effective width of protection during showering
• Fold the panel away slightly when not in use to open up the space

These more flexible wet room shower screen designs are ideal in multi‑use bathrooms where you want adaptability. Key Features to Look for in a Wet Room Shower Screen When choosing a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation, paying attention to the details will ensure you get a product that looks great and performs well long-term. 1. Glass Thickness and Quality Most quality wet room screens use:

• 8mm toughened safety glass as standard
• 10mm toughened glass for an even more solid, premium feel

Thicker glass tends to feel more robust and luxurious, with less movement or flex. All BathroomNation screens use toughened safety glass designed for bathroom environments. 2. Easy-Clean Coating An easy‑clean or anti‑limescale coating helps:

• Prevent water spots and mineral build-up
• Make daily and weekly cleaning quicker
• Keep your wet room shower screen looking clear and new for longer

It’s a small upgrade that pays off in reduced cleaning effort over time. 3. Height and Width Options Wet room shower screens come in multiple heights and widths to suit different spaces:

• Taller screens (often 1900mm or more) provide better splash control
• Various widths let you create both compact and expansive walk-in areas

BathroomNation offers a range of sizes so you can find a screen that fits neatly without awkward gaps. 4. Support Bars and Bracing Because wet room shower screens often rely on floor and wall fixings without full frames, discreet support bars or braces may be used to stabilise the glass. These:

• Enhance rigidity and safety
• Are typically mounted at the top, near the ceiling or wall
• Can be designed in finishes that match your brassware (chrome, black, brass, etc.)

The aim is to keep the look light and minimal while ensuring the screen is secure. 5. Hardware Finishes The few bits of visible metal – wall profiles, support bars, hinges (if applicable) – can contribute significantly to your overall style. BathroomNation wet room shower screens are available with:

• Chrome
• Brushed nickel
• Matt black
• Brushed brass or gold tone

Matching your screen hardware to your taps, shower valve, and accessories creates a beautifully coordinated bathroom. Planning Your Wet Room with a Shower Screen Before choosing a wet room shower screen, planning the layout is crucial to ensure both practicality and style. 1. Positioning the Shower Area Think about:

• Where the shower head will be placed (ceiling, wall‑mounted, or both)
• How water will naturally fall and drain
• How much splash you’re comfortable with elsewhere in the room

Ideally, the wettest zone is placed furthest from the door and key dry areas (toilet, vanity, storage). 2. Drainage and Floor Slope A true wet room requires carefully designed drainage:

• The floor needs a gentle, even fall towards the drain
• You can use a central drain or linear (channel) drain
• Waterproofing (tanking) is essential beneath tiles or flooring

A wet room shower screen helps contain water but doesn’t eliminate the need for correct drainage and waterproofing. BathroomNation always recommends working with an experienced installer for wet room projects. 3. Sizing the Screen Your screen should be wide enough to:

• Catch most of the spray from your shower head
• Shield the main walkway and dry areas

Common widths range from around 700mm to 1400mm and beyond. Larger screens create a more defined shower zone, while smaller ones work in compact layouts. Styling Ideas with a Wet Room Shower Screen One of the great advantages of a wet room shower screen is how adaptable it is to different styles. Here are some design ideas using BathroomNation products as inspiration. 1. Minimalist, All-Glass Look

• Clear, frameless-style glass panel
• Large-format light grey or stone‑effect tiles
• Wall‑mounted rainfall shower head with matching controls
• Floating vanity and wall-hung toilet

The result is a calm, airy space that feels much bigger than it is. 2. Industrial Chic Wet Room

• Wet room shower screen with black profile and support bar
• Concrete or stone-look tiles on floor and walls
• Black rainfall shower and matching mixer valve
• Simple timber stool or bench for warmth

This style is bold, contemporary, and perfect for design‑led homes. 3. Spa-Like Sanctuary

• Ultra-clear glass wet room shower screen
• Natural stone or stone‑effect tiles in warm tones
• Brushed brass shower fittings
• Niche shelving built into the wall for toiletries

Add soft, fluffy towels, warm lighting, and a plant or two to create a relaxing retreat. Wet Room Shower Screen vs Traditional Enclosure You may be wondering whether a wet room set‑up is really better than a conventional enclosure. Both have their place, but a wet room shower screen offers some clear advantages. Wet Room Shower Screen

• Open, walk-in design
• Easier access, especially for mobility needs
• More airy look, less visual clutter
• Simpler to clean (fewer frames and corners)

Traditional Enclosure

• Fully enclosed, more contained water
• Usually involves a tray and door
• Can feel more “boxed in” in smaller rooms

If you value openness, accessibility, and modern style, a wet room shower screen from BathroomNation is a strong choice. If maximum containment and traditional feel are priorities, an enclosure may still suit some situations. Cleaning and Maintaining Your Wet Room Shower Screen

The layout of this bathroom was reconfigured by locating the new tub on the rear wall, and putting the toilet on the left of the vanity. The wall on the left of the existing vanity was taken out.

The reconfiguration of the master bathroom opened up the space by pairing a platform shower with a freestanding tub. The open shower, wall-hung vanity, and wall-hung water closet create continuous flooring and an expansive feeling. The result is a welcoming space with a calming aesthetic.

This elegant mudroom features custom built-in cabinetry painted in a soothing blue, complemented by beadboard paneling and a warm wooden bench. The brass chandelier adds a touch of sophistication, while ample storage and practical hooks ensure functionality and organization in this stylish space.
