Big Bathtubs in the Market

Big bathtubs are dominating the market in 2019, along with open shower plans. While most homeowners can greatly benefit from a larger bathtub, there are a few occasions where this newest trend isn't the best option. Today we're going to discuss the benefits and downsides associated with this latest bathtub trend, along with other pertinent information, so homeowners can make the best choice for their unique circumstances.

Benefits of Big Bathtubs

A bigger bathtub allows homeowners to relax in comfort. Providing ample space for taller or larger individuals means allowing all members of the family to enjoy a relaxing bath, without the hassle of trying to squeeze into a space that isn't large enough. Some traditional bathtubs don't even offer the average-sized person enough room without bending their knees or sitting mostly upright. 

Downsides of Big Bathtubs

The only major downside of a larger bathtub is that homeowners with small, cramped bathrooms may not have enough room to take advantage of it. With limited space, a larger bathtub could potentially make an already small bathroom feel even more cramped.

It Isn't All Big Bathtubs Trending

There are several different types of large bathtubs available to homeowners, but it isn't all of them that are trending right now. Jacuzzi-style bathtubs are less popular this year than they have been in previous years. Clawfoot tubs are steadily regaining popularity, however. The traditionally-styled bathtub is still just as popular as ever before, but homeowners are purchasing them in larger sizes than years past. 

Pair with Open Shower or Attached Shower

These large bathtubs pair perfectly with open showers, which maximize on the available space in your bathroom and work to make the area look even larger. Big bathtubs also come with the distinct benefit of having plenty of space for an attached shower. This option is even available with clawfoot tubs, which did not traditionally include them.
