If you’ve ever renovated a bathroom, you know the ongoing debate between choosing a shower or a bath. While ending the day with a relaxing soak in the tub, a good book, and a glass of wine
sounds idyllic, how often would you actually use it? Or would a spacious walk-in shower be more practical?

In bathroom design, few decisions impact the room’s look and feel as much as choosing between a bathtub, a shower, or both. Several factors need to be considered when making this choice, including your daily routine, who will be using the bathroom, and most importantly, the size of the space.

Ultimately, it comes down to your household’s daily needs and lifestyle preferences. If soaking in a bathtub is your favourite way to unwind, then a bathtub should be a priority in your new
bathroom plans. However, if a spacious walk-in shower suits your needs better, it makes sense to invest in that.

By weighing the pros and cons of each option, you can design a bathroom that offers the most comfort, satisfaction, and value—whether it includes a tub or not. Discover the comprehensive
list of pros and cons on the ABI Interiors website.
