Here are a few things to consider for your tub as you plan your bathroom renovation.

This type of tub style can be placed anywhere in your bathroom, so you are no longer limited to placement based on wall locations. freestanding tub will immediately become the focal point of the space.

Soaker tubs complement a contemporary bathroom design and can also offer therapeutic features such as heated backs to keep your water warm.
