Did you know January is National Bubble Bath month? While some people love soaking in a warm tub filled with aromatic bubbles, others love the idea of a spacious walk-in shower. When remodeling, choosing a shower or bathtub is based on many factors. Your family situation, plans for resale, bathing routine, and overall aesthetic preference will play a big role in how you design your bathroom.
Benefits of a Bathtub

A beautiful freestanding tub is a timeless addition to any bathroom. Charm aside, a bathtub can also be an investment towards your health and home value. Taking a soothing bath is great for raising your mood, helping with aching muscles, and promoting better sleep. According to most real estate agents, keeping at least one bathtub in your home is also advisable for resale purposes. However, if you are not selling in a family-oriented neighborhood or are living in your forever home, a shower in every bathroom may be a better fit.

If your bathtub is constantly collecting dust or you use it for storage and laundry, it may be time to look at investing in a walk-in shower. More and more homeowners are choosing to forego their bathtubs for a larger shower that could fit two people comfortably. Showers are typically easier to clean and they can certainly open up a once crowded room. In addition, there are several accommodating shower options for those who wish to age into their space. Modern showers can be doorless and curbless to allow for easier access.
Cannot Decide? Consider Both!

If you have the space and desire, a bathtub and shower can cohabitate wonderfully in a single space. Allowing for both options is great for those who have a large bathroom or family members with differing bathing routines. When it comes to resale, a master bathroom with both can also have the biggest advantage.
Both bathtubs and showers have their pros and cons. In the end, you will want to choose whatever look and functionality will work best for you and your family!
