It's hard to beat the luxurious feeling of coming home from a long working day to a relaxing bath in the tub. When you're doing your remodeling, the tough question is whether to choose a freestanding bathtub to enhance that feeling. Beautiful, eye-catching and luxurious, freestanding bathtubs have a lot to offer. However, this does not mean that they are always the best choice. Are you modernizing your bathroom and trying to buy bathtubs, wondering which one to choose? Is choosing the right bathtub upgrade difficult? If so, here is some information to help you make your decision. When you think about adding a new bathtub, take these pros and cons of free-standing models into account.

Advantages of a free-standing bathtub

Designed to stand alone rather than tucked away in a corner of the bathroom, freestanding bathtubs come in a variety of styles. From a classic leg model that harks back to the past, to the sleek, sculptural variations popular in a modern style, each freestanding bathtub is unique. Here are some of the specific benefits of using them in bathrooms:

  • Luxurious attractiveness. Enter the bathroom with a free-standing bathtub, and you can't miss its beauty. As freestanding bathtubs need to be placed in bathrooms with enough space, they are the hallmarks of large, luxurious bathtubs. They are beautiful, strongly emphasize and enhance the experience of bathing.
  • Available in a variety of styles. Freestanding bathtubs come in a variety of styles, from modern egg shapes to classic claw designs. Because they are not constrained by wall constraints along the sides, they can create a stronger and more expressive design than built-in models.
  • Easy to install. Another advantage of a freestanding bathtub is the ease with which it can be installed.

Disadvantages of a free-standing bathtub

Despite many advantages, freestanding bathtubs are not always the best choice for bathroom renovation. They also have a few downsides worth considering:

  • Price. Freestanding bathtubs are usually more expensive than built-in bathtubs, partly because they have more design intricacies and also because they're more complicated to manufacture.
  • Greater space requirements. Unlike a built-in bathtub, a freestanding bathtub usually requires open space on all four sides. (Otherwise, what's the point?) So it takes up more space in a room that usually has a precious little square.
  • Lower efficiency. Freestanding bathtubs also make it difficult to store toiletries or bathroom items that you need to have at hand.
  • Libra. Freestanding bathtubs are usually heavier than built-in bathtubs, which means they can take a costly investment and effort to reinforce your floors.

How to decide

Ultimately, the decision between a freestanding or a built-in bathtub is personal. What works perfectly in one space may not be perfect in another. To make the best decision, ask yourself a few questions:

  1. How much space do you have? Since a freestanding bathtub requires a lot of space, it only makes sense in the room where it is placed. Can your bathroom accommodate a bathtub that stands by itself? Can it make the room cramped? If you don't have space or can't remodel a room to create one, a freestanding bathtub won't work.
  2. How much can you spend? As mentioned above, freestanding bathtubs usually cost more than built-in models, even though they are easier to install. Is your budget able to cover this expense? If not, stick to what will fit.
  3. What do you like? Assuming you have the space and money to cover a freestanding bathtub, your choice depends on your preferences. Do you like freestanding bathtubs more than built-in models? Do you crave the luxury they provide? If so, start shopping to see what you like best.
