analysis: Have Your Consider a Sunken Bathtub For Your Bathroom Design

Go ahead and imagine

Notes:

• Imagine what it would be like to have a nice whirlpool tub that is at floor level. We are speaking of a sunken bathtub (or drop-in tub) that has been purposely fitted to be at floor level as you come into the bathroom.
• Of course, that would require taking up space below the floor for the tub fitting – which could be in the basement or crawl space of the home.
• You could also sunken tub on the second floor, but that would require taking up ceiling space on the lower level. Something you could do with a tray ceiling or other decorative cover that protrudes down from the ceiling – that is if your downstairs area has high ceilings.
• Another option for an upstairs sunken tub is to build small platform from which the tub can be dropped-into. The platform could be at the height you need to sink the tub without taking up much room on the lower level:

Maybe a partially sunken tub will work

Notes:

• Above is an example of a partially sunk tub – with the lid of the tub protruding a bit above the platform floor. You simply have a small step-up platform that allows a partially sunken tub without carving out any space on the lower floor.
• You are looking at a freestanding tub that has been partially submerged. Note the standing faucet that hunkers over the tub.
• What else can you notice in the image – wall-mounted sinks – step-in shower stall – polished concrete flooring – ideas on what you can do with a bath remodeling plan.

Enjoying the view at ground level

Notes:

• When you have a view like this, the sunken tub fits perfectly with its floor level view. You can have a complete sunken look by dropping-in the tub into a cradle that is supported from underneath – such as a crawlspace or basement.
• At this level you can enjoy a relaxing soak as you sit and watch the beautiful sunset – or some other scenery that has best from floor level.
• Make sure to find a sunken-type tub where you can step down into. It makes it much easier to get in and get out.

When you don’t have a seaside view

Notes:

• Unfortunately, most of us don’t have the luxury of a seaside villa view. So your next best option with a sunken tub is a personal entertainment enclave where you can enjoy a video and/or music as you soak away the end-of-day troubles.
• This room appears to be on a second floor or even on the attic level. So your best option for the sunken tub is a platform where you step up to enjoy your sunken tub feeling.
• You might want to make this your mini swimming pool with hot jets and other pool features for a relaxing soak.
