Ever Thought Of A Smaller Size Bathtub?
If your bathroom is small the worst thing you can do is have a tub that is too big, or worse yet, no tub. While a shower stall fits better in a small bathroom than a traditional bathtub, it does not allow for relaxation and the pleasure of a great soak. There are options in small size bathtubs.
One great option in small size bathtubs is the small soaking bathtub. These tubs are much deeper than the traditional five foot tub and require far less room. A huge benefit to a soaking tub is the ability to submerge your body without while sitting up. At first you may think this is not as comfortable as laying down, but when you feel the water surrounding your entire body and the comfortable design of the seating, you will think differently.
There is the option of the walk in bathtub, especially for the disabled or elderly, or anyone who fears slipping when getting in or out of the small freestanding bathtub. Entry is made through a door in the side and most have tub seats to sit on. The style of the tub is similar to the soaking tub in that it is deeper than long. You can sit in the tub and be submerged to your neck allowing for the ultimate in relaxation.
There is a disadvantage of a walk in tub in that you have to be in the tub before filling it and have to wait for it to completely empty before getting out. If you prefer to fill the tub before getting in or if you like to get out before the water empties, extra small bathtubs are not a great idea for you.
The corner tub presents itself as a wonderfully modern option for small bathrooms requiring small size bathtubs. It can fit in a corner or in the middle or end of a wall and is deeper than traditional tubs and long on one edge. Some corner tubs are set on a pedestal allowing for depth and easy entry. The design and pedestal add pizzazz to any bathroom.
Fiberglass material allow manufacturers to produce customized small size bathtubs in any size, color or shape. The rule is that with a deeper tub, a tub can be shorter in length. Originally the reason for the standard size tub was to allow a person to recline and submerge his body in the water by stretching out. With a deeper tub it is much, much easier to be fully covered by the warm relaxing water. Add some water jets and you have just created a spa experience like none other.
A bathtub is the centerpiece of what could be your favorite room in the house. Design it around your favorite vision of what a spa would be like. Pamper yourself, relax and de-stress. Most everyone desires a long warm luxurious bath and having all the amenities in your own home adds to the fun. Small size bathtubs are big time fun when you research your needs and compliment your small space.
