Non-Slip Flooring for "Magic Loo"

I have a very strange shower room/toilet on my attic floor (refered to by my children as the "Magic Loo". The reason it's so strange is that the house is two houses joined together (in 1862) and the magic loo is made up of a half turn landing, a short flight of stairs (5 I think) and an upper landing. The WC and basin are on the lower level and the shower and door are on the upper level. The reason for the non-slip requirement is therefore to avoid falling down the stairs that are inside the bathroom when you get out of the shower, or when simply heading for the loo. Currently it's carpeted which is pretty grim for fairly obvious reasons. Basic flooring is 18th century pitch-pine floorboards in reasonable condition.

What I need is something that is non-slip in wet and dry state, but that also looks classy. I was thinking about wet-room type flooring if anyone has any advice/counter suggestions. (I'm not planning to make it a wet-room since I don't like the idea of large amounts of water on an upstairs floor, but I assume someone though about slipperiness for these conditions.

Your thoughts welcome

I would suggest a non-slip epoxy floor colouring in a dark colour, with contrasting colour bathmat etc.

Alternatively, rubber stairtreads might be okay if the main problem is the stairs. You can get them from safety suppliers.

I'd suggest you strongly consider the idea of a wet room.

How much more stylish can you get than the water falling in a series of glittering atractively lit sheets down the risers.

The children will really love flumes!

As long as you put a grating over the loo at the bottom so they don't go round the bend!

Mosaics are good for wetroom floors. I have some travertine ones that are reasonably non slip.............
