Why Both a Tub and a Shower Might Fit In Your Bathroom

By Lesli Jambers

Space is a valuable resource that commands a high premium nowadays. With the price of most good increasing, it is also not about to get left behind. This explains why urban planners are getting a tidy profit. They are aware of how significant their role is in suburban communities as well as densely populated cities.

You don't have to be a licensed or certified urban planner in order to maximize the space in your own home. If a small place is what your budget could afford for the moment, then just grin and bear it. Learn how to be comfortable with what you have. Utilize the power of optical illusions like the use of a mirror, multi-purpose furniture like couch and bed rolled into one and multi-functional equipments like treadmill with a built in Stairmaster.

Squeeze your creative juices in finding ways to widen your limited space. Do not just give up easily. You are wiser than that.

If you are currently having woes on whether you should install a shower and tub in your small bathroom, it pays to be an optimist right from the very beginning. Force yourself to think that it's possible and it can be accomplished with minimal hassle. Seek out family members and close friends so that those who have undergone the same problem can give you valuable words of wisdom. However, if you feel like they really have nothing significant to share, you have no choice but to contact a plumber. For a certain fee, he will help you achieve your dreams.

The succeeding paragraphs will explain to you in detail the why both a tub and a shower might fit into your bathroom. Read on.

The first way in making a shower and a tub fit in a small bathroom is to install the shower head directly above the bath tub. Obviously, you have no other option except to take a quick shower inside the tub. Are you worried that it might pose as a hazard since the tub can get slippery when wet? Well, you can remedy your problem by sticking 100% vinyl appliqu?s on the tub flooring so that your feet will not slip easily. Since it will have something to hold on to, you can take your time playing with water.

Second, purchase a toilet bowl or bidet in the smallest size so that you will have ample space for your tub and shower fixtures. If you are thin or small framed, then you won't encounter any problem. Unfortunately, if you are like Hulk Hogan or Shaquille O' Neal, you might have to undergo a careful deliberation if you really want to go this route. List down all the pros and cons of this option and make a decision after figuring out what it is that you really want.

Last but definitely not the least; avoid adding unnecessary items like plants in huge pots inside your small bathroom. They will waste precious space and will not advance your cause. However, if you are really dreaming of a cute little accent, you may try a bonsai or cacti and put it on top of the toilet bowl's flushing system. Colorful flowers in miniscule vases would also look good as well as framed pictures of the natural environment.
