Who doesn't love a fancy bathroom? They are the best part of the hotel experience, besides the view (obviously!), and make getting ready or just relaxing and unwinding all the more fun. As you know, we love all things fancy and shmancy, and don't believe in limiting luxurious bathrooms only for va/stay-cations. Which brings us to the main character of any bathroom worth looking at twice, the bathtub.

The bathtub is, inarguably, the key accessory of any luxurious bathroom, and with new contemporary designs and shapes, they are becoming a standard addition in homes as well, where they efficiently work within a small space. So, if you are planning a bathroom renovation but have limited space available, then here are seven ideas that will help you install a bathtub with the utmost ease and channel that extravagant self at home too.

Few Pointers To Remember While Investing In A Bathtub

1. The size and shape of the bathtub really matters, and no one size and dimension would fit all. So, make sure you do your research about your bathroom layout and know the aesthetic you want to imbibe in your space.

2. With more unconventional shapes, like a circle, and oval, make sure you really test out the slope of the bathtub that allows you to have a comfortable and manageable experience.

3. Remember to count in the weight, you might need professional help to figure this out, as it could need more structural support to install it with ease.

4. Get the right materials. They need to be made out of sturdy elements, but these elements can vary the weight and finish. Common tubs have fibreglass or acrylic, but the more contemporary ones are made of natural stone or concrete.

5. You also need to thoroughly know about the drainage, and pipe system if you are customising the bathtub because it's easier to install one that matches your drainage placement.

A Rectangular Bathtub For A Traditional Route

The easiest and most effective choice for small bathrooms is the traditional rectangular bathtub. They are the most adaptable kind, (can work for a variety of bathroom spaces), use very sturdy acrylic, and have a clean finish. They are the most accessible choice as well, easy to find locally, and we highly recommend this one for your guest bathrooms, where you want to invest in a staple choice, and not go all out.

Free-Standing Boat-Shaped Bathtub For An Edge

A free-standing boat-shaped is one of the best bathtub designs as it has a contemporary feel, occupies less space because of its sleek look, and gives a fresh and luxurious view to your whole bathroom. This style rises at each end and it is mounted on the floor, which makes it blend more easily with the whole bathroom space. The free-standing ones have the most variety in styles and shapes, and the absence of the base makes them more stylish and less clunky, perfect for modern homes.

An Oval Shaped Bathtub For A Sleek Look

An oval-shaped bathtub looks sleek and has natural lumbar angles which puts it among the most comfortable bathtub designs. They are also the easiest to clean, and would easily work for a bathroom space that is not too congested. Their height is mainly 24 inches, which is two inches higher than the regular ones, so it would completely allow you to submerge your body. They also work well in corners.

Natural Stone Bathtub For Earthy Vibes

Elements used in the making of a bathtub are crucial, and natural stone is a great choice to bring a lot of texture and earthiness to your bathroom. They come with a shiny and smooth exterior, with broad edges and rims, where you can easily put your essentials. This one is great for someone who has a studio apartment and can take on many shapes, and styles like rectangles, circles, ovals, and squares, and allowing you to decide on the size.

An Inbuilt Bathtub For Optimised Usage

Inbuilt bathtubs are perfect for someone who doesn't want the plumbing to be visible, or doesn't have much extra space to store a full-fledged bathtub. They are installed within the bathroom walls, with plumbing fully hidden away, and work beautifully with corners or alcoves. They are practical, bring a sense of coherence to a small space, and are cheaper on the pocket too.

Vintage Bathtub

A very popular choice among all apartment owners, vintage bathtubs are curved from the rest, come with a footing, and are made out of glazed earthenware, porcelain, and vitreous china. Due to their curved edge, they allow you comfortable back support, occupy very little space, and can really elevate any space, while giving that luxury appeal.
