When designing a finished basement, a question that comes up frequently for our clients is where to put the washer and dryer. Combining your laundry room with a basement bathroom or half bath makes perfect sense and is a smart use of space.

6. Wet bathroom

If you are trying to get the most out of a bathroom with a very small footprint, a European-style wet bathroom may be the perfect solution. These bathrooms are completely waterproofed, so the shower, sink, and toilet areas can be closer together.

7. A spa-like retreat
