Do you have any specific interior design ideas made by professional architects that I can follow?
Yes, indeed. This interior design concept created on a Middle Eastern theme by a professional architect will be sure to transform your wetroom into a desert fantasy.
One wet room design concept created by the architect Hadi Teherani for Axor’s Distinctive Project can make a council wet room look absolutely magical. This design has a central tub placed directly under the cupola. A cupola is a construction which is situated on top of a larger dome.The cupola helps to define a structure’s centre line, in our case the wet room’s central point.
An oval shaped, double washbasin is installed next to the wall. The tiling materials used include glass mirror mosaic tiles. These tiles offer a reflection of the marble surfaces below them, creating an abstract glowing particle effect, visible in silver and gold colours.
These Glass Mirror Mosaic Tiles can be purchased at Etsy UK at a price of £3.83 per quarter inch or from BigMamaMosaics UK at a price of £3.83 per 0.375 inch or from 33DIYHobbys Uk at a price of £2.14 for a 10mmx10mm piece (or 50 pcs of 30x15cm at a price of £96.38).
The structure’s high arched ceiling, built from a glass mosaic material, culminates in the dome-like hollowed top. This idea of a glass mosaic ceiling for a wet room provides a vast outlet for light to enter. This light may consist of sunlight during the day and moonlight at night time. The circular wet room is accessible from multiple access points.
This specific wet room design concept uses Axor fittings of Matt black colour including:
- the single lever basin mixture 280 with the signature Axel Citterio E Lever Handle
- . The Axor OverHead shower 350
- Axor Universal Softsquare Toothbrush Tumbler
- Axor Universal Softsquare Rail Bath Towel Holder
