Yes—adding a bathtub during your bathroom remodel is one of the most effective ways to boost relaxation, improve resale value, and elevate the everyday experience of your space. Whether you’re upgrading a master bath or modernizing a guest suite, a well-designed tub transforms a utilitarian room into a personal retreat.


🛁 Why Add a Bathtub? The Top Reasons

Adding a bathtub is about more than luxury—it’s a smart investment in your lifestyle and your home.

  • Stress relief on demand – Soak away the day in a deep, inviting tub that turns your bathroom into a spa.

  • Increased resale appeal – Homes with at least one bathtub attract more buyers, especially families.

  • Aesthetic impact – A standalone or built-in tub can anchor the entire design, blending form and function beautifully.

  • Daily functionality – From bathing young children to soothing sore muscles, a bathtub offers versatility showers simply can’t.


🌿 Design That Feels Like Home

The neutral tile and brushed nickel fixtures keep things serene and sophisticated, while the organic elements soften the space. It’s a perfect example of how custom remodeling can create harmony between function and feeling.


🚿 Tub vs. Shower: Do You Need Both?

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether to include both a tub and a shower. The answer depends on how you live.

  • For resale: If it’s your only full bath, always keep at least one tub.

  • For lifestyle: If space allows, combining a tub and walk-in shower gives you ultimate flexibility.

  • For space-saving: A sleek soaking tub with integrated fixtures (like the one shown) can offer the best of both worlds.


🧼 Tips for Planning Your Bathtub Addition

  • Measure twice: Bathtubs come in many sizes and configurations. Be sure your plumbing, flooring, and wall structure support your chosen model.

  • Think long-term: Choose non-slip surfaces, easy-clean finishes, and durable materials that match your lifestyle.

  • Style to your taste: Whether you love minimalist lines or classic clawfoot charm, your bathtub should reflect the rest of your home’s aesthetic.
