Many people add a bathtub because they saw beautiful photos online, then hardly ever use it. A tub takes space, uses more water, and can be slippery for elderly people. On the other hand, some families truly enjoy soaking baths and it becomes their favorite feature.
During renovation, think honestly: How do you actually bathe most of the time? If you mostly shower, a spacious walk-in shower may be more practical than a tub squeezed into a small bathroom. But if you love baths or have small children, a tub makes sense. The best renovation choices match your real life, not just trends.
