Small Tubs Save Space With Style
If you ask anyone who has a big house they will still tell you the same thing that many other house owners say, and that is that there is never enough space, and this is one of the things that makes successful bathroom refurbishment so difficult, and especially you need to make use of all the space available. If you do not do so you may find that the place feels very cluttered even though you have lots of space, and so it becomes absolutely essential to look at your space requirements when you have a very small bathroom. Luckily there are now a very wide range of small bathtubs on the market, and these will give you the chance to design your bathroom in a way that will give a feeling of space and tranquility. The good news is also that small bathtubs are now designed in a way that means you can soak in very deep water without using up a lot of space, in effect having a small soaking tub which gives you a great bathing experience, very much like a much bigger bathtub.
Small And Round Set The Style
Depending on your choice, you may go for something that has very strict lines, such as a square bathtub, or something along lines of a traditional oblong bathtub. These are great when they are mixed with modern bathroom design, usually using materials such as steel and chrome. However there are also designs much more fluid in appearance, and many of them use curves to accentuate the smoothness of the design. If you take a look at the range of small round bathtubs you'll be amazed at how many different sizes there are. This is also true of the oval bathtub, which can be a great way to add a unique design element to your bathroom since the sinuous curves give a feeling of extra space even when the bathroom is fairly compact. In essence you're getting a compact bathtub but one which gives you some space at the same time.

Whenever you choose a bathtub for a compact space make sure that it makes the best use of the space available, and that's why many people choose a small corner bathtub since this is one of the best ways of using bathroom space, enabling you to have room to put in more elements such as the wash basin and toilet, or even a bidet. Don't forget the other elements such as the towel rails, especially the heated towel rails, which can take up quite a bit of space. Add A Shower For Convenience If space really is at a premium it can be an idea to look at the range of small bathtubs that also have a shower fitted, since this will enable you to use the bathtub as a shower, saving time and water. Some tubs also are fitted with a shower cubicles, so that you get a combination of both worlds, a shower cubicle for a quick wash, and a compact bathtub that can be used to have a deep soak. In fact it is the small soaking tub that is now one of the most popular choices when it comes to designing a small bathroom, since it enables you to have depth without the width. This is especially possible if you get a seated tub, which can often enable you to sit with water right up to your neck, and allow your body to be completely relaxed. This also has the added advantage that you have much more legroom than a traditional small tub. Bathtubs For Small Apartments When it comes to the range of styles that are available, small tub shapes and sizes have increased enormously over the past few years, mainly due to the fact that bathtubs for a small apartment bathroom have become far more in demand. A square tub can be a good choice, since this could fit in the corner of the bathroom even though it is not built especially as a corner bathtub. The straight lines of this style fits in well with contemporary bathroom styling, especially if you use metallic bathroom fittings for things such as the towel rail or toilet roll holders. There are also many wonderful shapes available that you do not see in many bathrooms, and can include the small oval tub, which makes for a much more soft look to the overall bathroom design. The type of color you choose will of course also have an impact on the bathroom look, and if you're going for a modern styling some of the most basic colors such as yellow or pink may be to your liking. If you really want something that is striking you could even go for a red bathtub, although you need to make sure that the decoration fits in with this color. Sunken Treasure If you are looking for the traditional side of things, then the Japanese soaking tub is one of the best things to buy. Traditionally this was a sunken bathtub, built with a tiled surround, though in the West this style has changed and you can now have a freestanding Japanese bathtub which gives you the same bathing experience but also tends to add itself to a much stronger design element. For those looking for a modern small bathtub, the Gabriel 59-inch freestanding tub could be a good choice. Retailing at around $1,600, this is an acrylic bathtub which includes a chrome faucet. The tub dimensions are approx 5" long x31"wide x 22"high, and with a 50 gallon capacity. If an antique tub is a choice, the roll top clawfoot tub from Sunrise Specialty could be just right.
