A bathroom isn’t just a utilitarian room for washing and cleaning, this is an important space where you start the day, often finish the day and can just relax forgetting about all the issues and take a bath. A bathtub is luxury in modern homes: it takes precious floor space but it gives you a lot, too – this is your personal relaxation oasis, besides a cool bathtub will add to the style and decor of your bathroom, and it doesn’t have to be expensive, it can be just a colorful one.
A colorful bathtub adds life to your bathroom and can define the color scheme of the space. It could be a flashy, new bathtub in one of those rare, exotic shades or an old claw-foot bathtub that’s been repainted. No matter what path you choose, one thing that these color-draped bathtubs are not boring. Let’s consider some bright tubs and ways to style them.
A Little Tip
Before you paint or buy a ready colorful bathtub, it’s good to pick the color scheme of your bathroom and then use the brilliantly adorned standalone tub to accentuate it. But if your existing bathroom is monochromatic or clad in unassuming cool neutrals, then the choices are indeed endless. Choose a color that will add interest or make an accent and that you feel comfortable with as you will have to face it every day.

Repainted Clawfoot Bathtubs
Most of the painted bathtubs that you see are revamped and reinvigorated are old clawfoot bathtubs. Somehow, a paint job on these classics seems far more energizing and visually appealing than on a modern ceramic tub. Add to it the fact that their claw feet can be painted in a different color or left in a neutral shade to really drive home the point, and you have a luxurious classic that is quickly becoming a staple in modern homes. The tub comes in a variety of styles, such as the classic roll rim top (which looks the most lavish), the flat rim top, and of course, the slipper tub.

Modern Colorful Bathtubs
Colorful bathtubs are not just relegated to the clawfoot lineup alone. Another ageless classic, the pedestal bathtub, is also a fine fit for the multi-hued makeover. These look far more regal and make their presence felt no matter where they are placed. Since freestanding bathtubs often have very little footprint compared to the rest of the bathroom, using a bold color does not really overwhelm the space. There are also many contemporary ceramic bathtubs along with wooded and stone versions that bring in a distinct hue. These might not be as stark as bright red or jade green, but they are a lot better than the simple white versions.
