The bathroom is no longer just a place to get clean, but rather a space where you can relax, recharge, and invigorate the soul. The centerpiece of such a room is the bathtub. Although it is a highly utilitarian device, it has also become an exciting element of bathroom design, and the selection is limitless. You can choose between simple and whirlpool baths; with relief, oval, sharp or rounded shapes, freestanding baths, or mini-pools. Let’s take a closer look at the types of bathtubs available.
Standard Bathtub
The two most typical bathtub shapes are rectangular, in sizes 150x75cm or 150x80cm. When choosing a bathtub, make sure that the drain is on the same side as the shower.
The classic rectangular simple bathtub is ideal for almost any bathroom and gives a simple, clean, and practical look.
Bathtub with Feet
Since the 1800s, the classic clawfoot bathtub has been very popular. They are usually made of cast iron and are extremely elegant. The enamel-coated surface makes the tub slip-resistant and scratch-resistant. A bathtub with feet fits perfectly in an elegant and richly styled bathroom, being a standout and proud element of it. 
Freestanding Bathtub
Unlike a regular bathtub, a freestanding bathtub does not need to be built into or connected to the walls. The bathtub can stand on feet or be covered with wooden panels and stone or marble cladding. This kind of unsupported freestanding bathtub is perfect for a minimalist bathroom style, leaving a clean, futuristic, and charming overall impression in the bathroom, and it can be a proud focal point of the bathroom. Nowadays, there is a wide selection of freestanding tubs made of stone mass with both matte and glossy finishes. There are also tubs available in different colors. 
Mini-Pools
Mini-pools are usually deeper and wider than regular bathtubs. Mini-pools can be up to 2 meters long and can accommodate even two adults. These bathtubs can come in different styles—classic cast iron, freestanding, or built-in.
Who wouldn’t sometimes dream of having a spa without leaving home? Filling a mini-pool can sometimes be costly in terms of water volume and water heating.
Whirlpool Bath
A whirlpool bath offers many therapeutic and relaxing options in the form of various jets or individual power sources. Whirlpool baths can be chosen in different sizes and shapes. It is even possible to find whirlpool baths in standard bathtub sizes that fit into smaller bathrooms. Therefore, a whirlpool bath can be your personal relaxation spot without significant additional material and space costs.
Every comfort comes at a price, so it’s worth remembering that the cost of a bathtub depends on the technology, material, finish, and other details, so think through how much time you plan to spend in the bathroom. Therefore, consider how much time you will spend in the bath and choose a bathtub that fits your lifestyle.
