In a wet room, you need a floor that won’t sustain damage with constant exposure to water, but your options are normally the same as with a bathroom. Ceramic and porcelain tile are suitable options, as are natural stone like granite and marble, much like in a standard bathroom. Since a wet room’s floor is more likely to be wet, you should choose a flooring option with some texture to reduce how slippery the material gets.

There are many different types of carpets for you to choose from. When choosing a carpet, it’s essential to consider the following:

• Fiber: Describes what your carpet is made of, such as polyester, wool, nylon, or acrylic. 

• Pile type: Explains how your carpet looks. Your carpet fibers can be looped, twisted, cut, or woven.

• Pile height: Describes the length of your carpet. You can choose a low, medium, or high pile.

• Density: Refers to how close yarn fibers are to each other. 

Carpet lasts between five and 15 years. However, your carpet's life span will depend on several factors, such as its type, cushion, and the amount of foot traffic it receives. After 10 years, most carpet will show some signs of wear and tear, which might include fading, wrinkling, and loss of texture.

It depends on what’s important to you. For instance, if you’re looking for the lowest-priced carpet material, consider polyester. Alternatively, you could go with olefin (also known as polypropylene), another synthetic carpet material that costs about the same as polyester. Otherwise, if durability is the priority, nylon or wool would be a better choice.
