The choice of a bathtub involves a series of analysis ranging from the most preferable shape to the best location.
Let’s look at the various aspects of a product that could suit you since the concept of the ‘best bathtub’ does not exist. Each and every model available on the market could be the ideal one for your bathroom.
Obviously, everything starts from a careful evaluation of the style: to avoid unsightly contrasts, a bathtub should in fact be in tune with the existing style of the bathroom furnishings: sinuous shapes will add value to a classic style bathroom whilst perfect minimalist geometric shapes are better suitable for a modern style one.
What shape is right for a modern style bathtub?
If in the past the bathtub was exclusively a rectangular fixture, on the market today it is possible to find a vast variety of shapes, including square, oval, and round bathtubs which can be considered an icon of luxury. In other words, an inestimable value for those who are lucky enough to have very large bathrooms.
This is true because beyond the business proposals and very personal taste, the dimensions of the room dictate the main limitation on choosing the shape of a bathtub.
If owners of a large bathroom have no space limit, those who have small spaces available are subject to an almost obligatory but always tasteful choice. In the case of small spaces, people generally tend to turn their attention to the more classic models, those with a rectangular shape, suitable for being positioned along the wall in the interest of creating a special space dedicated to well-being and relaxation with a very small footprint.
A possible alternative is the oval bathtub designed for those who want to break the mould with the past but without distancing too much from the more traditional shapes as they have only limited space available.
This kind of bathtub in fact can be the result of a wide-ranging choice that disoblige you to install it in narrow corner spaces that require built-in masonry works and tiling. Doing so, the bathtub turns out to be the focal point of the room.
On the other hand, when you have a slightly larger space, the choice can fall on a square bathtub also available in a small 120 X 120 cm. size.
However, there is nothing better than a round bathtub to make your bathtub the star attraction of the bathroom. Designed precisely to capture the eye of anyone inside the room, this bathtub is certainly the best solution for a modern and stylish bathroom thanks to its rounded shape.
Obviously, this choice implies the possession of very large spaces, otherwise the bathtub turns out to be a design bathroom fixture that prevents you from moving around. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully evaluate its location.
Stand-alone bathtub for an exclusive charm
Which is better: a back-to-wall bathtub or a stand-alone tub? Surely, the possibility of having a bathtub in the centre of the room evokes the image of a luxurious, elegant and enjoyable bathroom.
The wide range of stand-alone bathtubs available on the market today offers everyone the opportunity to furnish their space intended for body care and beauty, just like in an authentic spa.
Today, these “wellness” products are available in different shapes and materials to give everyone the chance to relax in an environment that looks more and more like the ones displayed on the covers of the most prestigious furniture magazines, magazines that make you dream.
