A bathtub for a small bathroom is a challenge faced by architects and service providers for some clients. A freestanding bathtub is extremely comfortable for many people, which is why it is often a necessity in certain projects.
What Bathtub is Best for a Small Bathroom?
In a small bathroom, contrary to appearances, many types of bathtubs can be used. Rectangular bathtubs are suitable for spaces where one of the walls is significantly longer. The bathtub then occupies the wall, and other fixtures, like a sink, can be placed next to it. You can also decide to create a small recess in the wall where the shower cabin will be placed, thus creating the impression that the bathroom space hasn't really been reduced by adding a bathtub instead of a shower.
Freestanding bathtubs are also a very good solution as they can be placed anywhere in the bathroom. If the dimensions of the bathtub do not allow it to be placed along the wall, you can try another arrangement that will be best for the space.
Corner bathtubs take up the most space among the options mentioned due to their casing and shape. Inside, they offer the most space, which is why they are very popular among bath lovers, but a small bathroom may effectively prevent the use of a corner bathtub due to its size.
Asymmetric bathtubs are the best fit. You can perfectly match their shape to the shape of a small bathroom, without taking unnecessary space. If on one side of the room there is only a small bathtub and on the other side a toilet, washing machine, and sink, an asymmetrical bathtub that narrows on one side can be used.
Exposed Bathtub System in a Small Bathroom
An exposed bathtub system can be used in a small bathroom. It should, however, be installed in the right place. If it is small and looks very attractive, it can add charm to the entire room. If the bathroom is kept in light colors, which is recommended in small spaces, the bathtub tap can be in a dark color. This way it contrasts perfectly with the light tiles and bathtub, creating a certain depth of colors. Such a contrast can also help to visually enlarge the room.
Bathtub for a Small Bathroom – Advantages
The most important advantage of installing a bathtub in a small bathroom is its low height. This means that the already small bathroom is not optically reduced by the addition of a tall shower cabin. You can also enjoy a pleasant bath, which is not possible with a shower.
Is a Bathtub Suitable for a Small Bathroom?
A freestanding bathtub, corner bathtub, or asymmetric bathtub is an excellent solution for people who love to relax in warm water. You can read a book, watch a movie, or relax for a longer time in silence. A shower cabin does not provide such possibilities. Sometimes a small bathroom with a bathtub may seem cramped and uncomfortable to use.
However, a proper plan and arrangement of other room furnishings allow you to make great use of the entire space. Thus, a bathtub can perfectly work in a small bathroom where there seems to be no place for it. Therefore, as far as possible, it is worth trying to choose the best bathtub for your small bathroom.
Summary - Bathtub in a Small Bathroom
In summary, a bathtub can fit even in a small bathroom. Its main advantage is the optical enlargement of the room. Nothing is above the sink line, so the room appears larger. Additionally, it increases the comfort of users who want a bathtub. What is important is to organize the space properly to fit a small bathtub in the bathroom.
