- Health Benefits Of Salt Therapy
Submitted by: Jessica Ackerman
The old claw foot tubs of old may have been the highlight of yesterday’s bathroom designs, but today’s bathrooms are a bit more sophisticated. When wanting to create a truly unique spa experience, homeowners know that modern tub designs are a must. Today’s bathtubs are more like personal spas than they are like bathing areas. If your desire is to create a relaxing retreat in your master bathroom, start by searching online and in specialty stores for spa tubs.
Jets, Jets and More Jets
One of the hallmarks of today’s spa bathtub designs is the use of multiple jets. These jets and rollers offer bathers a chance to have the tension in their bodies eased out by directing the jets toward various parts of the back and neck. For those with chronic back problems, spa bathtubs are not only a luxury, they are often a necessity. It is not unusual to find spa bathtubs with 16-20 jets that provide continuous and adjustable lumbar hydrotherapy. Jetted tubs are luxury spa experiences at their best.
Soaking Tubs
Soaking tubs often come in the traditional rectangular designs, but many now also come in corner units, as well as pedestal designs. This traditional look offers a relaxing at home spa experience. The benefit to the soaking tub versus the jetted tub, is that it is easier to clean and can be just as relaxing. Soaking tubs are also usually less expensive than their jetted counterparts, which makes working within a budget easier.
Unusual Designs
Perhaps you have an unusual spot to fill with a bathtub. Maybe you want your soaking or jetted tub to go in by a window or bay area. It used to be difficult to find bathtubs that would accommodate such space requirements, but there are many tubs that now come in unusual shapes and sizes. Oval tubs are a great example of a tub design that provides a unique look while also being highly functional. They are more reminiscent of their claw-foot ancestors than they are of today’s modern spa design. Thankfully, manufacturers have combined the comforts of modern technology with the traditional look of a timeless classic. Corner and rectangular shapes are also available in a wide range of sizes and designs.
Another unique design that is making headway into mainstream bathroom decorating is the walk-in bathtub. These are ideal for those with mobility problems or health issues. They are often larger in size and need a bit more space in the bathroom’s layout. For a safe and relaxing spa option, walk-in bathtubs are ideal.
No matter what bathtub design you select, it should match your budget and your family’s needs. It may be impractical to add a jetted tub to a bathroom that is shared by adults and small children alike. However, it may be ideal to add a large, jetted tub to a newly renovated master bathroom. Whichever tub you pick, be sure to enjoy it as often as possible.
