In small bathrooms, a shower tray is often installed instead of a bathtub, because the area requires a space-saving solution. But do those who love to soak themselves in soft foam with a few drops of essential oils really have to give it up? Fortunately, they do not because there are bathtubs which are smaller than standard ones, and there are furnishing solutions in which the tub is not always placed classically, along a wall. So even the dream of a small bathroom with a bathtub can come true thanks to careful planning.
Space-saving solutions for small bathrooms
A space-saving solution in a small bathroom is to place the bathtub on the shorter wall of the room. If there are obstacles, such as a radiator, you need to measure the width of the bathtub and consider the wall where the door is located. To better use the space, the bathtub is usually placed in a corner or recess.
There are many advantages of a corner bathtub, but the most important one is certainly the optimization of space. Since it is a corner bathtub, its size only reduces the perimeter, leaving more space in the middle of the bathroom. This is even more important when it comes to a bathroom, whose area is not very large and thus, requires solutions that make the most of every inch.
With a corner bathtub you can also play more with shapes, alternating straight and wavy lines to achieve a great design for a striking and original bathroom.
The solutions increase when the space in the room increases, so the bathtub can become the centre of modern design and comfort. A round bathtub, placed in the centre of the room, attracts the attention of everyone who crosses the threshold, and at the same time it is an incomparable source of relaxation. There are numerous freestanding bathtubs that can be placed anywhere in the room and which can easily interpret even the most ambitious project of a bathroom. The search for such versatile and fascinating solutions leads to experimentation with shapes and styles that catch the eye and fit perfectly into the space to be furnished.
Modern bathtubs, what materials?
The materials that best suit the most modern designer bathtubs are acrylic and polimineral. The choice of acrylic bathtubs is related to the advantages that this material offers, starting with the ease of cleaning. Acrylic is antibacterial, limescale resistant and smooth to the touch. It provides resistant bathtubs that keep the water at the desired temperature for a long time.
Polimineral, on the other hand, is an innovative material that combines maximum durability with a high level of hygiene. The great versatility it offers in the manufacturing process gives the possibility to obtain aesthetically perfect bathtubs even in the strangest shapes. Natural, hygienic, odourless, robust and resistant; polimineral has quickly become one of the most widely used materials in the making of designer bathtubs.
