Round Bathtubs Can Make Your Bathroom Just Like A Japanese Bathhouse

Round bathtubs are very popular for contemporary bathrooms. They are perfect for soaking because they are deep and can hold many gallons of water. Most round bathtubs are free standing since they would be difficult to attach to a wall. A bathroom needs to be large to accommodate one of the luxury soaking tubs. Many of them are large enough to hold two people. They have two benches inside for sitting and relaxing and enjoying the hydrotherapy that the water provides.

Some round bathtubs are made to have a platform built around them so that the bather steps down into the water. Kohler makes a luxury round tub that is 75 inches in diameter. It is much more than a whirlpool tub because it can also sound and feel like a rolling river, rapids, and whitewater. There are 18 different settings that control the air jet system to provide customized massage for each bather. This tub has three headrest pillows that are removable.

A free standing style that is 53 inches wide is made of resin. The very simple look is perfect for a contemporary bathroom with a spa design. Resin tubs are very simple to maintain because they only need to be rinsed and dried after use. This material is resistant to scratches and stains and it maintains its color through and through.

There are also unique models of round bathtubs that are not white, such as one that is made in Italy of stainless steel. Its ultra-contemporary look is not for every bathroom, but it would be ideal in a large modern bathroom. If the stark look of stainless steel is too unusual, there is another version that is black enamel on the outside and white enamel on the interior.

A bathroom that has a rustic look may look just right with one of the styles of round bathtubs that are modeled after an oak whiskey barrel. One style has oak boards all around the sides with stainless steel bands that hold them in place. There are two stainless steel benches in the tub. Copper tubs have been found to have microbial qualities, so they stay clean and fresh by just rinsing them out after use.

Bathrooms that are decorated in natural earth tones would look great with one of the copper round bathtubs in a free standing Japanese bath house style. Other dark tone round bathtubs are made of oil rubbed bronze that are also a contemporary look for the bathroom. There are also copper tubs that have a bronze finish. The selections of luxury tubs is almost limitless, and if it is not ready made, almost any imaginable type of tub can be custom made.
