| 4 Popular Types of Baths for Your Home Posted: 12 Jul 2013 12:34 AM PDT Choosing a new bath for your home is a big decision. There are literally hundreds of types of baths out there for all types of styles and budgets, and often the only way to know which is the right bath for your bathroom is to go through a wide range of styles to find something that stands out to you.
If you are just getting started with the process of choosing a new bath, here are four of the most interesting styles that will help you to create a stylish and unique atmosphere in your bathroom. 
1. Roll-Top Baths
Roll-top baths are one of the most attractive styles of bath if you are after something really stylish. They are called roll-tops because they have curved edges, which provide a classy appearance and make them particularly comfortable after a long, hard day.
Roll-top baths are often free standing, and this makes them even more attractive. Place yours in the centre of the room and you can design your entire bathroom around it, using the bath as the centrepiece.
One of the issues to consider is the taps. Some of the most stylish designs make use of free-standing pipes, but you could also mount the taps on the wall next to the bath. Some baths even have a special area on the top where the taps can be placed.
2. Corner Baths
Corner baths look fantastic and can help you to make more use of the space in your bathroom, which is especially useful if the space is limited. Corner baths come in all sorts of styles, including standard rectangular baths as well as baths with curved edges like a semicircle. If you want to keep your bath tub out of the way, but still want it to be a stylish feature of your bathroom, these could be a fantastic option. 3. Stone Baths
Stone baths don't come cheap, but they will last you a lifetime. On top of that, there is nothing quite like lying back and relaxing in a natural stone bath – it really is the height of luxury. Stone is always classy, and a stone bath can look particularly good in your home if you have other stone fittings in your bathroom like a sink. Stone baths tend to be freestanding, which is another element that makes them even more stylish. 4. Whirlpool Baths
If it's luxury you're after, you cannot go much better than opting for a whirlpool bath. Whereas standard baths are great for relaxing in warm water and chilling out, whirlpool baths go one further and provide a whole system of powerful jets to relax and massage your body as you soak. A whirlpool bath is like enjoying your own private spa treatment every day. They come in a wide range of styles, and some of the best come with showers included.
Choose Your Perfect Bath
With so much choice on the market, choosing a new bath is never easy. However, start by looking at some of the above models if you are serious about finding something stylish and classy for your bathroom because you can't go far wrong with any of these. Author Bio:
