Why Wet Rooms Fail — And How Homes Reimagined Gets It Right

At Homes Reimagined, we know that a well-designed wet room can restore independence, dignity, and safety for people living with disabilities or reduced mobility. But all too often, we’ve seen wet rooms installed by tradesmen with little understanding of the client’s actual needs—spaces that look modern, but are impractical, unsafe, or need redoing entirely when mobility changes.

 

That’s where we’re different.

 

Led by an Occupational Therapist, Built for Real Life

 

Homes Reimagined is not your typical renovation company. Our projects are led by a highly qualified occupational therapist who brings deep understanding of disability, aging, and mobility challenges into every design. We don’t believe in "standard solutions"—we create homes tailored to the individual, today and tomorrow.

 

The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Wet Rooms

 

Too many wet rooms are installed with standard fittings, layouts, and assumptions. Grab rails are added as an afterthought, shower seats are poorly positioned, and there’s often little room for wheelchairs or carers to assist.

 

Worse, they’re designed only for the client’s current condition, not considering how mobility might deteriorate over time.

 

This short-term thinking leads to:

  • Unsafe or inaccessible spaces

  • Avoidable stress and cost to redesign

  • Increased risk of injury or hospitalisation

  • Future-Proof, Person-Centred Design

 

At Homes Reimagined, we work with our clients to design wet rooms that are:

  • Fully accessible for both current and future mobility needs

  • Stylish yet entirely functional

  • Tailored to the user’s unique movement patterns, transfer methods, and support systems

  • Reinforced and adaptable for future changes

We build more than wet rooms—we create safe, empowering spaces where people can thrive.

 

Designed for Dignity. Built for Life.

 

Because our approach is led by clinical insight and backed by expert tradespeople, we bridge the gap between healthcare and home design. The result? Spaces that not only look beautiful, but work beautifully—every single day.

 

Don’t settle for a generic wet room. Choose one that’s reimagined—just like the rest of your home.
