Installing a bathtub when you have a limited amount of space can be very tricky. Trying to install a shower stall right next to it can make your project especially challenging, making it even more difficult to place a standard 5' bathtub in a small bathroom. Small bathtubs are available in a wide variety for one to take advantage of. If you prefer to relax for an extended period of time while you bathe, then a bathtub is your obvious choice. Even if the idea of a smaller bathtub isn't very appealing with the potentially limited leg space, there are soaking bathtubs that allow an individual to fully immerse themselves without having to bunch up and are deeper than they are long. Sitting in a reclining position, you would still be able to immerse yourself, rather than having to slide down into the tub to fully cover yourself with water. There are walk-in tubs as well that have doors on the side, making it much easier to enter the bathtub in a limited amount of space. Tighter spaces will be able to easily accommodate them than other more conventionally sized tubs.
Occupying a corner with your bathtub can be a good idea as well if you are looking for a more practical use of space. An individual can still bathe properly and comfortably with corner bathtubs that are especially useful for bathroom design projects that try to maximize the available space. A a corner bathtub can be situated under a window on either side and installed in curved or angled spaces because they are installed in corners. Thee bathtubs are typically built-in, making it easier to move about in the bathroom and clean when necessary. Your bathing and cosmetics essentials such as your shampoos, soaps, and oils can be easily placed on a deck that is featured on the tub. Your bathing space can be made more relaxing by placing decorative items on the ledge, being situated under a window. A considerable amount of space can be saved since they can be fitted between vanities and cabinets that are already in the bathroom.
A preferable option can be the bathtubs used by the Japanese if rather than cleansing, you are looking for a bathtub that is primarily for relaxation and need one that allows you to do so in a limited space. Japanese bathtubs are constructed differently than what one would be accustomed to seeing in the United States. They can allow for a person to be full immersed up to the chin, as a Japanese tub is fashioned to accommodate a person sitting down, rather than sliding into it. There are also locally made alternatives as importing them would mean an increase in cost.
