Choosing The Perfect Bath For Your Bathroom 

30 Aug Choosing The Perfect Bath For Your Bathroom 

When you’re revamping your bathroom, it goes without saying that there are so many different things to think about. From deciding on the layout and the colour scheme to choosing the perfect bathroom suite, you will want to ensure that every small detail is perfect. Arguably, one of the most important things to choose for this space is the bath and nowadays, there are more designs than ever before on the market. 

From traditional straight-sided baths and modern freestanding baths to L shape shower baths and curved whirlpool baths, there really is something for everyone and it can be difficult to decide what will be best for your new bathroom. Due to the fact that the bath is often the focal point of this space, you want to ensure that you make the right choice, so to help you do so, take some time to thinking about the following; 

The overall style of your bathroom

What you’d like the overall look and feel of the bathroom to be like will influence the style and type of bath that you choose. For example, if you’re having a traditional bathroom with a homely feel, a roll-top bath will work really well, whereas if you’re having a modern bathroom with a simplistic feel it probably isn’t the best option available. So, ensure that you have a clear idea of what the finished bathroom will be like before you choose a bath. 

How much floor space you have 

The size of your bathroom is always important to take into consideration when you’re choosing a bath. Not only do you need to ensure that the bath will physically fit in the space, but you also need to think about both proportions and practicality. If you have a smaller bathroom, opting for a built-in bath will likely be better than a freestanding bath as you ideally need to have plenty of space to walk around a freestanding bath. 

Whether you’re having a separate shower

Not all bathrooms will have both a shower and a bath and whether you’re having a separate shower will impact your bath choice. When you’re wanting to combine the shower and the bath, you might want to consider an L or P shaped bath as both of these will provide you with more space to stand in the bath whilst you’re showering. However, if you’re wanting to have a separate shower enclosure then you’ll have more options to explore. 

Who is going to be using the bathroom

Whether the bathroom is the main family bathroom or an en-suite bathroom will also likely affect your choice of bath. If you have young children then opting for a double-ended bath can be really useful as can a freestanding bath as they will provide you with better access for helping them whilst they’re in the bath. Whereas something like a whirlpool bath will likely be more suitable for an ‘adults only’ bathroom. 

What the rest of the bathroom suite is like 

It goes without saying that your bath will need to complement the rest of your bathroom suite, so if you have made any decisions about your washbasin or your toilet, you will need to take these into consideration. For example, a rectangular style suite would clash with a curved bath and ideally, you want to ensure that these essential fittings are all coordinated. If you haven’t chosen a bathroom suite yet, you might be best deciding on a bath first.
