If you are looking at improving your bathroom, the bathtub is one of the most important elements to consider. The bathtub is usually seen as the focal point of your bathroom. It makes a strong statement about the overall design and concept. You can keep it simple by merging it with other fixtures creating a unified aesthetic, or you can choose a tub that stands out.<\/p>\n

The first step is to determine where you want your new bathtub to go. You then need to measure the width and depth of the available space. The amount of space you have will largely influence what style of tub is right for you; while you may be inclined to an oval-shaped freestanding bathtub, you might only have enough space for a bathtub that is round. Knowing this information will help you find the right bathtub for your bathroom.<\/p>\n
The tub-style you select is a question of personal taste. The following bathtub options are some of the most common and well-known designs for your bathroom layout.<\/p>\n

Soaking tubs or \u2018Japanese\u2019 style are typically oval or circular tubs. These soaking tubs are generally taller than regular bathtubs, allowing you to sit comfortably while soaking. Soaking tubs tend to come in various sizes as a soaking tub offers longer, elegant styles for larger homes and compact soaking tub versions for smaller homes. If you want to add a hint of luxury to your home and a great way to relax, a soaking tub is a great choice.<\/p>\n

A whirlpool tub has built-in jets. The whirlpool tub jets are either water or air jets; their primary purpose is to massage you, which creates a relaxing bath experience, relieves sore muscles, and boosts your well-being. Air-jet whirlpool tubs contain dozens of small jets that pump warm air to create air bubbles, while a water-jet whirlpool tub has fewer but larger jets that push water at high speeds. Whirlpool tubs offer a deeper massage than any other tub on the market.<\/p>\n

Walk-in bathtubs are designed to encourage accessibility by allowing users to securely enjoy a luxury bath by stepping into the tub without the fear of slipping. Walk-in tubs have grooves and notches on the inside of the tub to provide grip and feature handholds or grab bars for balance and stability. Walk-in tubs mother-in-law suites or homes for the elderly so they can bathe without assistance.<\/p>\n

Beyond the visual aspects, there isn’t much difference between a drop-in bathtub and an undermount tub. Drop-in bathtubs are installed by dropping them into a scooped-out area and subsequently sealed in, so the rim is more visible. Whereas, undermount tubs hide the rim by being installed beneath the surrounding deck. Both tub types save space, come in various bathtub materials and styles, and you can even get drop-in tubs or undermount tubs as jetted bathtubs!<\/p>\n

An air tub has many tiny jets that pump heated air into the bath water to create a massaging sensation. Air tubs, unlike whirlpool bathtubs, use their jets to create a bubbling sensation rather than a deep, massaging sensation<\/p>\n
Unlike whirlpools, air tubs do not require frequent cleaning. On the other hand, air tubs do not maintain heat as long as whirlpool tubs and are ideal for brief massages rather than a long soak.<\/p>\n

Alcove tubs require three walls that connect and have just one finished side. An alcove tub is a common choice for apartments or households with smaller bathrooms. Alcove tubs often have a shower combo option, which saves a lot of room.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular bathtub options is freestanding tubs. Freestanding bathtubs can fit just about any space and do not require installing connecting walls. Freestanding bathtubs are a more vibrant centerpiece for your bathroom aesthetically compared to most drop-in tubs and are evenly priced compared to options.<\/p>\n
