If you’re remodeling a bathroom in the East Brunswick, NJ area, you’re familiar with all the choices laid out for you. From literally the bottom up, you’ll be making decisions left, right and center. Which tile will look best in the low light, what vanity will work for your family, etc. But what about the fun parts of home redecorating? The hand woven rug you picked up with your spouse on your honeymoon years ago? Which floral scented potpourri you’ll choose? And — perhaps the most fun of all — what type of bathroom tub? After all, this is the place you’re hoping to relax in after a long day of work or play. While the options can be overwhelming, there are a few main categories to go through when choosing a bathroom tub.

The Built-In Bathroom Tub

This is probably the one you’re most familiar with from your childhood. Now, we’re not talking about those cheap shower kit style tubs that warp and bend and look atrocious. These are the type of bathroom tubs that fit sweetly into a nice nook of your newly renovated bathroom. Often, this allows for extra storage space, such as a linen closet to be placed next to it. Regardless, the built-in style tob like the one above from Fleurco will compliment a new and modern bathroom nicely.

The Squared-Off Bathroom Tub

Do you often find yourself wishing for more space in your current bathtub setup? A squared off model can help offer more room to ‘breathe,’ as it were. You’re not forced into a certain position by shallowly sloped walls, making it idea for those taller or wider folks. Plus, it’s a very stylish and modern look that could complement many design aesthetics.

The Rounded Bathroom Tub

Is the shared look too severe for what you had in mind? You’d likely enjoy a more rounded tub. These freestanding versions from Fleurco are a little bit luxurious but all functionality. The more sloped sides allow you to recline after a stressful day. With softer edges, it would fit well into a more feminine or less severe room.

The Contoured Bathroom Tub

Ready to throw what you thought you knew about bathroom tubs out the window? This contoured version is a little bit futuristic, and all about your comfort. It’s reminiscent of a full day at the spa. If you opt for this style of tub, put those bath bombs and salts on auto-delivery right to your doorstep, because you’re not going to want to get out again!
