Flower Love
When the work week ends, Friday comes and the only thing you dream about is relaxation. There is nothing like a good, hot bath with foam.
Some reviewers may say you can shower too, but things like that are beyond compare!
Foam with glitter and pieces of foam with a sweet scent flying over the surface of the water is almost like a spa, but you are at home and can enjoy it for as long as you want!
If you’re moving to another house or just want to spice up an existing one, the bathroom is one of the most important things to think about.
Whether you live in a huge castle or just in a cozy little house, the bathroom is something very personal and you should make sure that every single element in this room suits your unique needs and that the design reflects your overall personality.
Some people might say it’s just a place to tidy up, but honestly it’s more like a place where you never pretend to be someone else and everything should be quiet.

The royal bathroom is just one of many possible options that you can choose from. You probably want a bathroom with some modern features. Ideas for bathtubs today have almost no limits.
Drop-in style

Because of the specifics of its installation and construction, you can add a deep soaking tub to all types of interiors and decorate the space around this tub in many different ways with glossy or matte tiles. You can also add a step or two near the tub.
Bath, shower
Why do you hesitate to choose a shower or a bathtub? You can have it all in one! The color spectrum is very wide, so you get exactly what suits you perfectly. Built-in models are one of the most popular.

Classic slipper
If you want something vintage, you might prefer a slipper tub. You can also add some sort of niche so that everything you need is within easy reach. Fill the niche with bottles of your favorite salts and bath foam.

Standard niche bath
At first glance it might seem pretty regular, but you can spice it up by adding a sliding glass door or tiling the wall behind with bright colors.
The claw foot bathtub
We live in a very fast moving world with all of its conveniences and benefits, but sometimes it feels like our everyday life is missing something meaningful. The normal bathtub will definitely look fine, but why don’t we jazz up?

Just think of a claw foot tub that can transport you back in time to Victorian times with all its opulence and regal glamor. Such an option may seem quite dated and old-fashioned to many of us, but this tub creates a very sleek overall look. It also goes without saying that the finish and attachment of the feet is entirely up to you.
Mix of contemporary and functional
Nowadays there is a wide range of options for bathtub design. Each person chooses the best one that suits their needs. If you are happy parents, have a dog, or just like simple and practical things, the niche bath can be your go-to. Even if it doesn’t look very extravagant or opulent, there are a few elements you can add to the overall design that create a perfect mix of chic and performance.

The whirlpool bath
If you are wondering what a combination of comfort, luxury and functionality would look like, we have the answer for you! Would you like to get everything in one – opt for a whirlpool bathtub. It can be decorated with wood, free-standing or with a niche design, while maintaining all of the above functions. Another important thing about this type of bathtub: it is perfect for people with joint and bone problems as you can relax in the hot tub as if you were in the spa!
In the spotlight
If you’re lucky enough to have a window in a bathroom, you can put the tub just below it in the spotlight. Even if the tub itself is tiled in the same color as the rest of the room, it still looks very elegant.

Undermount tub
You can enjoy the look of your backyard or flower beds while indulging in the hot bathroom that shimmers under foam if you opt for a tub with a tub mounted. Designs can vary from stone to wood panels. You can also install faucets in the center so that there is enough space for two people.
The walk-in bathtub
People with limited abilities sometimes have difficulty in everyday situations, but now this problem can be easily resolved. Uncomfortable situations can be avoided by opting for a walk-in bathtub. It looks and works practically the same as an ordinary one, but has a door on the side that seals behind a person.

This type of tub can also be lightened with a seat to provide more comfort to the user. This option is perfect for those who used to need help bathing but can now easily join in without help.
Freestanding luxury
If you want your bathroom to look really sophisticated and chic, consider a freestanding bathtub. Since it doesn’t require any outside support, you can place it in the middle of your bathroom as if it were a work of art. You can also complement this lavish look with light colored feet like brass or silver.

This way you can create a romantic look close to the Victorian period. However, you can also choose a flat-bottomed tub that looks very modern and state-of-the-art. A variety of forms are numerous.
The Japanese tub
The Japanese value comfort and quality, so bathing is a real ritual for them and it’s definitely not about a 3-minute quick shower. The main differentiator of the Japanese tub is the depth of the basin, which probably doesn’t seem too small.
Home Spa
You don’t necessarily have to visit the spa to relax. You can just install a hot tub in your own bathroom and relax whenever you want. You can also choose a tub with additional water and air jets.

The Roman bathtub
The name of the Roman tub comes from Rome, nothing special is hidden behind this name. This type of tub is unique because of the faucet mounting. Faucets are not installed on the side of the bathtub but are attached to the deck. Another differentiator is that Roman bathtubs are usually larger than traditional ones found in most American homes. So there is enough space for two people, especially if you want to take a long, relaxing bath after a hard week at work.
Cast iron pan
Another option is the cast iron tub, which adds a bit of vintage to the general look of the bathroom, especially if you opt for a freestanding bathtub.

The garden bathtub
Originally, garden bathtubs were popular in France, placed right in the gardens to delight the eyes with the flowers and blossoms. Nowadays this idea has been kept in large bathtubs just below the large window. If you want to keep that calm look in the bathroom, add a few plants and make sure there is enough light.
The Greek bathtub
The Greeks definitely knew the ropes in hydrotherapy and self-pampering. That is why the Greek tub is the true embodiment of pleasure. Similar to the Japanese, Greek tubs are also very deep, especially when compared to traditional ones.
