In a new trend to luxury housing, there has been an increased demand for "bathrooms where water goes everywhere." Literally flooding the market, these bathrooms are basically "wet rooms" which have a barrier free shower or tub. 

Without the need to tuck in a shower curtain anymore, more homeowners have been demanding to have these wet rooms built into their homes. The shower is barrier-free and the whole bathroom is covered in tile so that virtually everything can get wet. Extra additions not seen in regular bathrooms in order to account for the large amounts of water accumulation include expanded tile work, elaborate drain placement, and additional fiberglass for waterproofing. Floor surfaces are meant to be sloped in order to keep the water from backing up, which can increase the cost.  

If this spa-esque type of bathing doesn't scream luxury living, I don't know what would! There is even an option to add on steam generators and free standing tubs for soaking. However, although the free standing soaking tubs may seem appealing to some, It bears an odd resemblance to what happens when a person drowns. That is only my opinion though! 

As for pricing, certified bathroom designers have suggested the cost for a 200 square foot wet room to be 50,000 if you include the floor to ceiling tiles, the free standing soaking tub, and the steam generator. From what you can see, the pleasure that comes with this luxury wet room clearly comes with its costs. Not only is it over 50k, but purchasing the large shower heads that these bathrooms require can be up to $996, something a resourceful person may never wish to spend in their lifetime.
