A bathroom remodeling project not only provides value by allowing you to luxuriate in the newly decorated space, but it also adds monetary value to your house. Among the decisions you will have to make is what type of bathtub will best suit the area. As the centerpiece of the room, it should offer the comfort you want and match the room's design. Take a closer look at some of your options below.

A Guide to Bathtub Styles

1. Clawfoot Tubs

These standalone tubs give bathrooms a sense of luxury and old-world flair with their visible plumbing. They take up a lot of space, making them best suited for expansive rooms with square footage to spare. However, their size makes for a more relaxing soaking experience. You can also pair them with a handheld showerhead, which makes cleaning yourself easier and washing the tub more convenient. 

2. Corner Tubs

Although corner tubs can come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, they are usually larger. In some cases, they are even comfortable for a couple to share. Despite their size, which generally prohibits them from being incorporated into smaller bathrooms, being tucked into the corner often means better traffic flow if multiple people are trying to get ready in the morning. They can be made of a variety of materials—including fiberglass, acrylic, and stone resin.

3. Alcove Bathtubs

Most people are familiar with this type of tub. It’s surrounded by walls on three sides and usually includes a shower combination. Typically, it has a smaller footprint, which means it is an option for more bathroom remodeling projects. However, it can be a tight squeeze when trying to clean or take a bubble bath. Most are made from acrylic.
