Interior Design & Decor

If you are redecorating your bathroom then one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is to choose the right bath.  As the largest item of bathroom furniture its size and positioning will play a major part in the final look of the room.  Of course when choosing your decision will be influenced by how much space you have available and other factors such as who will be using the bathroom.  There are a variety of different types and styles of baths available.

Shower Baths

Particularly in smaller bathrooms it is common for the bath and shower to be combined into one unit.  This is ideal for people who would like the choice of having a bath or a shower but do not have enough room for both separately.  When installing this type of bath care must be taken to ensure that water can’t leak down between the bath rim and the tile work.

Freestanding Baths

Freestanding baths are a decorative option for your bathroom adding an extra touch of style and luxury.  Common in period homes a freestanding bath is particularly suited to larger bathrooms in which there is an abundance of space.  This style of bath has increased in popularity in recent years and in now a feature in many modern bathrooms.

Freestanding baths are now available in a variety of sizes, lengths and depths meaning they are no longer impractical for use by children or the elderly.  This type of bath is usually heavy than built in models so before you buy you need to be sure that your floor is able to support the weight.

Whirlpool Baths

If you would like to add that extra touch of luxury to your home then a whirlpool bath is a great choice.  Although by no means a cheap option whirlpool baths have become increasingly popular in recent years after becoming more easily affordable to homeowners.  Whirlpool baths are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and so one can be found to fit in just about any bathroom.
