How to Choose the Right Bathtub for Your Bathroom?
As a soothing reward, meditative respite, and genuinely private experience, baths play a vital role in the bathroom. The bath is often the room's centerpiece, so it must complement your style. In this case, how do you choose the right bathtub?
The bathtub you choose depends on the home where it will be installed. Space should be your first consideration. Now it's easier to find the right bathtub.
Plan your budget:
Budget your bathtub. If you prefer, include a range. That way, you can skip overpriced bathtubs.
Before Choosing a Bathtub, Measure Your Bathroom!
Your bathtub's size must match your bathroom's dimensions. Be sure to measure the room size and doorway width. The path from the external entrance to the bathroom must be clear for the bathtub to be installed safely.
In addition to these measurements, you should also consider:
- Overall length
- Overall width
- Basin width and length (i.e., bath’s inside)
- Overall height
- Soaking depth.
Choose a Tub Type
Comfort and relaxation are the key features of a bathtub. Ensure it fits your space and needs.
Here are some styles you can choose from based on your bathroom space and needs:
Freestanding Baths
Adding luxury to your home is easy with freestanding baths. It's usually the focal point of a bathroom; they're meant to relax.
Clawfoot Bathtub
The clawfoot made a comeback as a vintage bath. In addition to freestanding baths, they offer a classic or traditional look.
Spa Baths
You can create a relaxing bathroom with a spa bath. These baths come in oval, rectangular, round, and two-person shapes.
Shower Baths & Built-in Baths or Inset Bathtubs
Shower baths fit well in small bathrooms. With extra wide widths and a grip on the bottom, bathtub showers make standing and showering easy. These baths combine baths and showers.
Back to Wall Freestanding Baths
Back to Wall bath sits flush against the wall. It is an excellent choice for rooms with little space for freestanding baths. Also, these baths are easier to clean.
Island Baths
Island baths are built into hubs (tiled islands). When bathing the children, bathtubs offer extra space for placing candles, plants, or towels. An island bath in a smaller bathroom gives you extra bench space around the tub's rim.
Stone Bathtub
Modern bathrooms will love these sleek, simple baths. Additionally, they are durable and long-lasting. Building your forever home or renovating an existing home can benefit from a stone bath.
Corner bath
If your bathroom has limited space, a corner bath can help. Place a freestanding bath at an angle to create a great feature in your bathroom.
Conclusion:
An inset bathtub is the best option since it allows you to stand and shower simultaneously in the same tub while using the minimum space in your bathroom. In addition, it looks stylish. It also prevents water from spreading throughout the bathroom. Tapware can be wall-mounted or attached to a bath frame.
