Bathroom Shower and Tub Trends 2025
24th Jan 2025
First we had claw foot tubs; at some point, showers were
introduced; then, many of us grew up with built-in bathtubs that had both a
faucet and a shower head; now in 2025 there are several popular ways to include
a tub and shower in a bathroom. We’ll take a look at each of these options,
their pros and cons, and what types of bathrooms they are suitable for.
A Tried and True Choice
While it’s not the hottest trend, the traditional tub/shower
combo mentioned above is still very much in use. Why is this approach still
popular? It tends to be less expensive than the other options. It also has a
relatively small footprint while still providing both options: bathing and
showering.Those who wish to dress it up can do so in several ways:
Two Separate Fixtures
A more modern approach is to have a free-standing soaker tub
in one part of the bathroom and a glass shower enclosure nearby. This is a more
elegant way to offer both bathing and showering possibilities within the same
room. It’s a wonderful idea as long as you have sufficient space and funds.
Some homeowners, however, try to squeeze both a tub and a separate shower stall
into a bathroom that’s really not large enough to accommodate both. Possible
issues that can arise include:
Tub Inside the Shower
Another recent trend takes a different twist on this. Instead
of just a glass
shower stall, some homeowners have a much larger glass
enclosure built to house a free-standing tub as well as sprays and an area for
showering. This is another appealing design if you have the space and money to
pull it off. Cramming a tub into a moderately sized glass shower area, however,
is a recipe for disaster and could even be a fall hazard, not to mention a
cleaning nightmare.
