Bathroom Wet and Dry Zones for Apartments
Separate splash-prone activities from towels, storage and the route to the door.
Explore the ideas
Plan in this order
- Mark shower spray, bath use and the likely wet floor area.
- Place towels and daily storage beyond direct splash while keeping them reachable.
- Choose floor transitions and drainage locations with the installer.
Worked example
Water from the shower reaches the vanity mat and toilet approach during ordinary use.
Review shower opening, screen length and floor slope together; position towels and electrical items beyond the likely splash path.
How to test it
Trace water movement and the post-shower route on the proposed layout.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep the shower at the far end, with vanity and towel access outside the wet zone.
- Detail
- Use a recessed shelf and slip-conscious floor finish; provide bright mirror lighting.
- Trade-off
- A fixed glass screen controls splash but may complicate cleaning access.
- Check floor fall and drain position
- Test door clearance and towel reach
