Are you tired of your current standard bathtub?  Are you tired of having a bathroom that feels overly crowded and that is not at all comfortable to spend time in?  Do you wish that you could take long luxurious baths in a comfortable bathtub but lack the funds to completely remodel your bathroom (and,Choosing the right Small Corner Bathtub for You Articles face it, your bathroom probably wouldn't accommodate one of those big luxury bathtubs anyway)?  Have you considered investing in a small corner bathtub instead?  A small corner bathtub will allow you to change the look of your bathroom without having to pay to completely remodel and renovate the space.A small corner bath tub will free up space in your bathroom while still providing you with a comfortable bathtub to soak in.  Many of the small corner tubs are more comfortable than the standard tubs that seem to come fitted into every home and apartment.  Why is this?  How is it possible that a small corner bathtub is more comfortable to bathe in?The easiest way to explain why a small corner bathtub is better than the "everybody has one" standard bathtub is to tell readers that the actual bathtub is not that much smaller than the standard tub that you are used to .  In fact is can feel bigger than the bathtub that you are used to because corner bathtubs are usually deeper than standard tubs.  Some small corner bath tubs are so deep that they feature benches and lumbar support to help the bather sit upright while he or she soaks.  Some people choose to install a stand up shower next to their small corner bathtub so that they are able to get clean before they soak in the tub.  The Japanese have been doing this for centuries and this eastern style of bathing is quickly catching on in the west.  Imagine the luxury of sitting in a hot tub, feeling your muscles relax and know that you are already clean so the water is clean as well!  Who wouldn’t want that!If you are truly concerned for space it is also possible to install a small corner bathtub and shower combination unit.  These are perfect options for home owners whose bathrooms are truly compact and they need to make the most out of every available inch of space.  The only drawback is that most small corner bath tub and shower units are made for the elderly or people who have problems standing for longer periods of time, so the walls of the bathtub are usually higher and feature a door that swings open and the inside of the tub is fitted with a chair or a bench for them to sit on when they get tired.  The shower unit is usually made of a hand held shower head that can be taken off its hook and used to clean someone while they are sitting down.   Obviously the styles and combinations of the small corner bathtubs are virtually endless, which is why you should begin your research and shopping right away.  Why settle for a crowded and uncomfortable bathroom if you do not have to?
