Bathtub dimensions and bathing comfort
It is worth considering carefully what size of bathtub to choose, because its dimensions have a decisive influence on the comfort of bathing. The length, width and depth of the bathtub should be adjusted to the individual characteristics and needs of users. While taking a bath occasionally, a short length of the bathtub should not be particularly inconvenient, lovers of long relaxation in hot water may be disappointed... Standard models have a length of 150 to 180 cm. They meet the expectations of most people. The most popular lengths are 150, 160 and 170 cm. Of course, what suits most people does not have to be comfortable for you. How to choose the length of the bathtub? First of all, adjust the bathtub to the height of the tallest user. If you are hesitating between two sizes and have enough space, it is worth choosing the larger model. For tall adults, bathtubs with a length of 180 or 190 cm are recommended. In addition to the length, the width and height of the bathtub are important for comfort. It should be remembered that the larger the bathtub, the more water is needed to fill it.
Does the shape of the bathtub matter?
Bathtubs come in various shapes. The most common choice due to their versatility are rectangular models and oval bathtubs . People who have an empty corner to use often decide on corner bathtubs. On the other hand, lovers of modern, original design are happy to choose asymmetrical bathtubs with unusual shapes, which, even with a large size, allow for optimal use of space. Their unique appearance 
adds expressiveness and stylish character to the entire room. They are ideal for small bathrooms. Despite their smaller external dimensions, they provide the comfort of bathing like standard bathtubs. Freestanding bathtubs are ideal for larger bathrooms. They help create the atmosphere of a bathing salon - especially round models. They add elegance, luxury and expressiveness to the arrangement. In smaller rooms, on the other hand, wall-mounted bathtubs with the appearance of freestanding models work great.
Adjusting the bathtub to the available space
Comfort and aesthetics are not everything. It is very important that the bathtub is sized to fit the available space. Start by carefully measuring the place where the bathtub is to be placed. Include the space around the bathtub in your measurements. Leave at least 50 cm of free space for a comfortable entrance and exit and easy access to the faucet. The bathtub should be placed in such a way that it does not impede movement around the room and the use of other devices. If you intend to place the bathtub against the wall, you can use, for example, a rectangular model. On the other hand, a corner model will fit well into an empty corner. Choose a designer freestanding bathtub for the focal point of the interior. On the other hand, asymmetrical bathtubs are perfect for unusual, modern spaces. Once you have decided on the type and shape of the bathtub, determine its size. Small bathtubs, e.g. measuring 120×70 cm or 130×70 cm, are ideal for small bathrooms. They allow for a relaxing bath while saving space and water. Standard-sized bathtubs measure 140-170 cm long and are suitable for most bathrooms.
