A recent study by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) found that over 50% of home buyers prefer a master bath with a bathtub and a shower over one with just a shower stall. Real estate professionals typically advise homeowners to have at least one bathtub in the home for the highest resale value.
Natural stones like travertine and limestone are being used by designers to create a rustic style, and they are being highlighted with earthy tones like clay, greens, blues, and terracotta. Natural stone and natural stone look tiles will rule the market in 2022, evolving from the neutral tones that were in style in 2021.
Heat cannot diffuse into the air from a bath because of the thick suds and bubbles on the water's surface. Enamelled cast iron, stone, stone resin, or wood are the greatest materials for bathtubs in terms of heat retention; nevertheless, these materials are typically only offered in freestanding designs. As a result, they shouldn't be insulated for cosmetic reasons.
Although it is not necessary to tile around a standalone tub, you must prevent water damage to the wall if the freestanding tub is next to it. The only choice is not tile. Wainscot, glass brick, and paint that is resistant to mildew are among substitutes.
If your bathtub is more than 20 years old, it might be past its prime. You might experience the same problems if your bathtub is even around 35 or 40 years old but you rebuilt it about 20 years ago. It just won't seem to get clean no matter what! If your bathtub is getting old, it might be time to replace it.
We advise that your faucet's spout extend around 3 to 5 inches over the tub's interior.
Gray and navy are on their way out. A decrease in popularity for blue (down 43%), mustard yellow (down 27%), and light gray (down 25%) was also noted in the survey. Yes, even though gray has consistently dominated the most recent paint trends, its era may come to an end in 2022.
A freestanding tub can be installed in place of a built-in bathtub to create a lovely center point in any bathroom. The form improves the area by stylishly introducing visual appeal. Freestanding bathtubs are perfect for accommodating any taste because they come in a variety of designs, hues, and materials.
Most freestanding bathrooms should be positioned as close to the room's center as feasible to allow for easy movement around them. This makes cleaning as well as getting into and out of the bath much simpler.
Even when installation is taken into account, freestanding bathrooms are typically more expensive than built-in tubs. This is because they are more intricate and frequently include more opulent design. Due to their greater weight compared to built-in bathrooms, freestanding baths may need a reinforced floor, which raises the price.
