Domestic and import companies produce several types of bathtubs, which differ in the following parameters:
- In shape: rectangular, round and oval models, as well as large Jacuzzis.
- By material: plastic, steel, marble, acrylic bathtubs (Russia, Germany, France and other manufacturing countries).
- By the presence of additional elements: with a tape recorder, radio and telephone.
- By design. A magnificent decoration of any interior will be a foot bath. It is about this model that we will talk in detail today.
To begin, we list all the advantages of such a design:
1) External appeal. Most buyers make their choice on this criterion. The foot bath allows you to create a cozy and stylish interior. She can successfully fit into any style.
2) The floor on which such a bathtub stands is easy to clean. If something accidentally falls under it, then you can easily get it.
3) Such products do not take up much space. Cast iron corner bathtubs are suitable for very small rooms .
4) Most of the models on sale are decorated with floral and mythological motifs. Do you want the bathtub to take on a noble-antique look? The patination method will help you with this.
5) A foot bath is the choice of those who wish to equip their living space with style. In combination with pieces of furniture of the same color, it will look amazing.
6) Your guests will be delighted with such a bath.
Now it's time to voice the cons:
- Instability of a bath with legs on a perfectly smooth and slippery surface.
- Inconvenient form. Most often, models of rounded shapes are produced. They are quite difficult to place in the bathroom.
- High price, especially compared with cast iron, steel and acrylic products.
- A foot bath requires careful care. If you do not remove and clean its surface from dirt and excessive moisture, then it will quickly lose its presentation. As mentioned above, bathtubs equipped with legs can fit into any interior. But here there are certain nuances that must be taken into account.
Interior "Classic"
The bath is installed in the center of the room. Such seemingly trifles as hangers play an important role in creating the appropriate surroundings. It is best to select products with curved shapes and with gilding. As for mirrors and other accessories, it is desirable that they be made in the style of the Victorian era. Pastel shades will do.
East interior
Walls should be tiled or dark marble. On the wall is a large mirror in a gold or red frame. Mixers and various plumbing fixtures made “in gold” will become a successful addition to such an interior.
"Bright Ethnicity"
Lay out several small straw rugs on the floor next to the bathroom. When decorating a room in this style, the use of bright colors is allowed. Curtains should be light and original, for example, made of colored beads.
Before heading to the store for a bathtub with legs, think carefully, weighing all the pros and cons.
