Today we will tell you whether a freestanding bathtub for a small bathroom will be a good choice, or maybe a corner bathtub or perhaps asymmetrical bathtubs will work better?

What shape should a bathtub have for a small bathroom?
Finding a practical bathtub doesn't have to be difficult. First of all, a small bathroom needs to accommodate a washing machine and a toilet. Of course, a sink is important. The interior must be arranged in such a way that it provides comfort and convenience. The shape of the bathtub itself is certainly important. A small bathroom with a corner bathtub looks good. Such a bathtub allows you to arrange the space appropriately.
If you dream of a shower cabin, it is not a good choice for a small bathroom. It is definitely better to choose a bathtub and match it with a bathtub screen. You can also choose a different shape of bathtub. A small square bathtub will work very well, which can be placed against the wall in close proximity to the sink, which will allow you to use the space in the entire room even better.
Since you already know that all you need is a screen to make the bathtub a practical shower, remember that asymmetrical bathtubs will work well in small spaces, as they will change the interior and give the bathroom a three-dimensional spatial effect, which will optically enlarge the room. Corner bathtubs or free-standing rectangular bathtubs will work very well, but choose models without seats. This will really allow you to save some space. You can also choose bathtub screens for corner bathtubs and gain the functionality that a shower gives. The bathtub should be placed close to the walls. You can also prepare a bathing area, where next to the bathtub you should place a sink and a few shelves for cosmetics that you want to have at hand.
How to choose the right bathtub size for a small bathroom?
The arrangement of a small bathroom at home does not have to be difficult. Namely, you need to choose the right bathtub to utilize every centimeter of space. Oval bathtubs , although really stylish, take up way too much space and will not work in a bathroom with a small cubic capacity. The size of the bathtub is also important. The choice of bathtubs is really large. We can recommend models that are 120 cm long and 70 wide.
Alternatively, you can opt for small acrylic bathtubs measuring 100 cm x 65 cm. There is not much space in such a bathtub and the truth is that it is better to choose a 10 cm wider one to gain much greater comfort. If your bathroom is not only small, but also has slopes, it is best to use the wall under the slopes and place the corner bathtub there. We remind you that the bathtub should be selected with regard to the height of the users.
Basically, the ideal model is one that is about 15 cm shorter in relation to your height. If your bathroom lacks space, it is worth choosing an asymmetrical model, e.g. left-handed, which should be opposite the longest wall.
How to properly arrange a bathtub in a small bathroom?
A small bathroom can be functional. The question arises - how to arrange such a bathroom? You already know which bathtub to choose, so it's time to focus on furniture. Column or corner shelves will work perfectly. You can place a mirror on one of the walls, which will reflect light and optically enlarge the room.
Opt for light colours, which will add lightness and subtlety to the interior. When it comes to tiles, it is best to choose asymmetrical ones. You can also use, for example, light accessories, which will give the space lightness.
If you like modern solutions, but also value comfort, we can recommend that you build in the bathtub, e.g. with small tiles. You can also use the additional space under the bathtub, where you can place detergents.
On the bathtub enclosure, you can also place a small shelf or a holder for necessary things, such as cosmetics that you don't want to put on the edge. You should also choose a bathtub faucet for the bathtub. In the case of an arrangement with a bathtub screen, you can even choose a rain shower. If you decide on a regular bathtub, choose a classic faucet with a pull-out shower handle on the handle. For fans of designer solutions, cascading bathtub faucets will work well.
