Choosing A Beautiful Bathtub For Your Reonovated Home
The way you would choose your new bathtub for your renovated bathroom would depend on a couple of things. Would you like to match the tub type with the age of the home itself, or do you want the bathroom to have a contemporary and more modern look?
For instance, if you have a home that was built either in the 1800's or
at the turn of the 1900's, you may want to install a fancy claw-foot
tub. It would be fun decorating your bathroom while keeping the
integrity of the home's original age. Claw foot tubs these days are
truly beautiful works of art, with many having brass or silver-toned
feet. These beautiful, curvy bathtubs would be right in line with the
way elegant bathrooms were designed in the Victorian era. To add to the
elegance, matching hand held shower kits are also available. This design
can be surprisingly affordable if you shop around and compare prices.
Of course, the basic rectangular bathtub is always in style. It can come
in a one-piece shower and tub design, or you can have the tub and
shower walls installed separately. The one-piece unit is very easy to
clean and is resistant to mold and mildew. Another plus to these
one-piece units is that they often have built-in soap dishes and shelves
for your shampoo, body washes, lotions etc. Just use mild soap and
water, no harsh cleaners. Harsh cleaners, such as scouring powder will
actually ruin the finish of your new shower and tub.
One of the most cost effective one-piece units is one that fits right
over your existing tub and shower. These have all the benefits of the
above option, but can be installed without ripping out your old shower
and tub.
If you opt for a separate bathtub and tiles, you have the versatility of
choosing whatever surrounds you want for your bath. You can have the
surrounds set in one of the many beautiful stone finishes, or you can
use ceramic tiles in two or more colors, and have it designed any way
you desire. Your bathtub will look beautiful either way!
