10 Reasons Why L Shaped Baths are Ideal for Your Bathroom

10 Reasons Why L Shaped Baths are Ideal for Your Bathroom - Bathroom Design Ideas

L shaped baths are very common in most households, however if you're planning on upgrading your bathroom or if you're furnishing a new home, let me tell you why you should get this particular style.

Showering Comfort:

L shaped baths are much more spacious than typical bathtubs as they have the extra space at the end which enhances your showering experience as it’s less cramped than normal bathtubs or shower cubicles. This extra space helps you feel less claustrophobic meaning you can enjoy your relaxing time much more, especially with the open air flow.

Space Saving Design:

Typicalled L shaped baths are a shower bath meaning that you have the luxury of owning both a shower and a bathtub in one, this also has the perk of saving a lot of space in your bathroom. You’ll no longer have to worry about how you're going to fit a shower enclosure as well as a bathtub into a small room and you can focus on filling the space with more convenient things such as cupboards for storage.

Smart Structure:

The sharp straight edges that make up the L shaped bath are purposefully crafted in that way, they are done in order to maximise floor space and also create the widened L shaped section without taking up any extra unnecessary room. This means that any future furniture can be placed next to the bath without having an awkward round edge which can waste space.

Various Layout Options:

Another positive of the L shaped bath having straight sleek edges is that it can be placed in any position within the bathroom, it can be put into any corner and along any edge. This gives you more creative freedom when decorating/designing your ideal bathroom.

Shower Screens:

At bathshop321 many of our L shaped baths come with a glass screen to prevent any water splash when you are showering. The glass screen is a much better way to keep water off the floor than a shower curtain, they are heavy and messy whereas the glass screen is sleek and very low maintenance. Another positive is that the glass screen fits perfectly within the L shape of your tub ensuring that the rest of the bathtub is kept free and doesn't disrupt the use of the actual bath.

Family Friendly:

L shaped shower baths are ideal for a family who has little room but very large differences in their bathing preferences. Due to the utility combining both a shower and a bath you are able to accommodate those in the family who prefer a nice long soak as well as those who prefer a quick and easy shower. Also the l shaped bath is perfect for bathing pets or small children due to the easily accessible shower head as well and the tub which can be filled with water simultaneously.

Storage Opportunities:

Due to the flat edges along the side of the bathtub it gives you more opportunities for storage. For example you are able to place your bathroom necessities along the edge such as shampoo and body wash, you can also purchase some shelves which can be placed along the bath and hold your necessities if you want a more clean and organized look.

Customisable Options:

When purchasing this bathtub you are able to choose whether you'd like a left hand bath or a right hand one , this will be down to the positioning you have chosen for your bathroom e.g. which side of the wall you'd like the shower head on. This is why L shaped baths are ideal…they can be tailored perfectly to your needs!

Simplifies renovations:

As a result of the L shaped bath being a singular unit it means there are less plumbing task you have to do when getting your bathroom fitted otherwise you'd have twice the amount of work if you had a bath and shower separately. 

Future benefits:

If you were to sell your house after a few years, L shaped baths fit in with masses of house styles whether that's traditional or modern therefore there is less chances of people not liking the bathroom situation when viewing houses. Another thing is that the bathtubs are perfect for all family types and they are a convenient thing when buying a house as they combine both sides of bathing in a compact space.
