I need suggestions for building a wet room. What materials are best? Designs would be great...

Suggestion:-

A filing cabinet with adjustable shelving and a tray of water in the bottom would normally suffice - however it would depend on the size of your pieces.

Go to your nearest hardware store and buy one of those rubbermaid plastic cabinets. Come in a bunch of different sizes, complete with shelves, and being all plastic, will never rust out. Way easy to clean with a hose too.

Using two small refrigerators. Should they have pans of water in them also. The cabinets are not air tight, while the friges are -- except when I open them.

Joe: Since it will be a very large space (larger than my whole studio) might I suggest you check out

This online farm supply store can sell you 4X8 sheets of something called "Gel-coat" (sp?), which is a fiberglass coated sheet material commonly used to cover the walls and ceilings of barns, animal stalls, etc. Easily joined together with "H" strips, much as one would join wall panels in a home (seal with any good grade silicone caulk for waterproofing.) Hose it off, or pressure wash it. Comes in white and grey, I believe. We often recommend it to our clients who own bars, for use in the bathrooms. Works extremely well in wet environments, and relatively inexpensive.

You will want to plan for plastic shelving, so that mildew and/or rot is not a problem. And be sure to include a supply of water such as a small utility sink, for those times when adding moisture in the form of a mist from a sprayer is desired. Any "garden variety" humidifier, connected to a water supply is a good choice, since you can set the percentage of moisture you want in the atmosphere of the room. Plenty of lighting too which may have to be waterproof outdoor style fixtures, unless you're planning on growing mushrooms as well as pots

I have no connection to the company I mentioned, other than being just a (satisfied) customer.

Best Regards,
