Clawfoot Tubs A Very Modern Blast From The Past
There is a trend that is happening within our society that is bringing back the appeal of claw foot tubs. With everything remote, cell phones, the Internet and flat screen Ts, sometimes its nice to step back to a time that was simpler, which is why the popularity of clawfoot tubs is on the rise.
The simple beauty of clawfoot tubs is wonderful. Adding this vintage touch to one room of your home brings character and class in a world that is full of modern features, appliances and remote controls. Bath tubs add warmth and put a smile on your face, especially if you couple them with vintage faucets and other bathroom fixtures. The classic clawfoot tub makes a statement and its a cozy welcoming to all the guests who enter your bathroom.
Typically made of cast iron, the luxury of clawfoot tubs has dropped in prices making them affordable for just about everyone. If you want a true antique clawfoot tub, they will be extremely expensive because they are considered a collectors item. And the antique version comes in one style and only in white unlike the modern reproduction which has many features and comes in white, black, red and every color in between.
There are many different styles of clawfoot tubs. There is the classic roll top, which is the antique reproduction of clawfoot tubs of yesteryear. The 2nd type is the slipper tubs where one end has a sloping effect to give it a lounging feel where the double slipper clawfoot tubs has both ends of the tub raised and sloped. Then there are the double-ended clawfoot tubs. Both ends of this tub are rounded which is different than the classic where one end is round and the other end is flat. Lastly, the pedestal clawfoot tubs dont even have clawfeet. This art deco style tub is raised on top of a pedestal, which gives it a more regal look. Whatever you decide on for your bathroom, clawfoot tubs can add a sense of style and charm like no other!
