Whether modern or traditional, they add elegance to a bathroom like nothing else. Though often reserved for bigger baths, freestanding tubs can work in smaller spaces with the right layout, design, and tub choice. (Still, while freestanding tubs are perfectly suited to master baths, they’re not right for all situations. They may be problematic for bathing small children , for example.) A freestanding tub is typically the focal point of the bathroom, so it makes sense to determine its location first and then to lay out the other elements — the shower, vanity, and toilet — around the tub, using them in ways that support the design. There are several things to keep in mind when including a freestanding tub in a bath, starting with the size of the tub. Tub length is best determined by having the bather try out different tubs.

Once limited to spas and health clubs, steam showers are the latest in home upgrades that are trendy yet affordable. What follows are tips on having one installed in an existing bathroom: 1. Call the experts Most Popular "First, make sure a plumber comes in to determine the location and size you'll need for a steam generator," says Anthony DeVictoria of DeVictoria Plumbing & Heating in Massapequa. "An electrician must also assess the feasibility of getting a wire from the main circuit box to the actual unit and to make sure your house can handle the voltage."
