Colored acrylic bathtubs: varieties, recommendations for choosing

The bathroom is one of the most important areas in the house. This is a place where you can completely retire, relax. That is why every item here should look beautiful and harmonious. This is especially true for the bath - the central element of the bathroom.

Various materials are used for the manufacture of bathtubs, but acrylic is still the most popular. And to create an interesting and effective atmosphere, it is not at all necessary to choose a white acrylic model. Colored products look much more modern, the features of which we will consider in this article.

Acrylic bathtubs began to be produced not so long ago, especially colored ones, but their popularity is increasing every day. This is explained by the properties of the material itself. Colored acrylic designs are of two types:

• injection molding;
• having coverage.

In the first case, the entire structure will be completely made of acrylic. This is the most expensive option and very rare, since few can afford it. The second solution is more budgetary, since such bathtubs consist of different materials, having only an acrylic coating.

Consider the benefits of the material:

• acrylic is a flexible material, so it can be given a variety of shapes, which means that such a bath is suitable for both small and large rooms;
• colored bathtubs look unusual and original, they can be selected for a variety of interior styles;
• structures weigh up to 25 kilograms, which greatly simplifies the process of their transportation and installation;
• at the moment there is a huge selection of colors, each owner will definitely pick up his own shade;
• water does not cool for a long time in an acrylic bath, and it is also quite difficult to slip in it;
• both white and colored acrylic prevents the growth of fungi and harmful microorganisms.

Among the disadvantages are the following points:

• solid models will cost a decent amount - about 100 thousand rubles;
• acrylic does not like temperature changes;
• the surface of the bathtub is easily scratched; abrasive agents must not be used to clean it.

As already mentioned, today you can choose a product of absolutely any shape, as the possibilities of acrylic allow it.

• The traditional and familiar form will be rectangular. It is the simplest and most comfortable one. Such baths can be found in most apartments.

• Look elegant and beautiful oval designs. They have smooth lines and are able to correct room imperfections. It is better to purchase them for spacious rooms.

• Round bath looks really luxurious and is usually quite large in size. To emphasize the effectiveness of such a design, it is often installed on the podium. In addition, this model has additional functions, such as massage.

• Very much in demand and corner baths, which will perfectly fit into the premises of a small area.

• For rooms with a non-standard layout, you can look after asymmetric or polygonal solutions, but it is better to do it together with the designer.

Besides, bathtubs vary in size. More recently, there was a single dimensional grid, and it was not easy to find something that went beyond it. Today, the situation has changed, so a variety of sizes are presented to the buyer's choice.

For example, the standard size of a rectangular bath is from 1.2 to 1.8 meters in length and 0.7 to 0.8 meters in width. There are also more overall structures, 190 cm and more, here everything will depend on the scale of the room itself. The optimal bath height is 65-70 cm, but again, there are other parameters.

As for the corner models, their size parameters start from 0.9 m. Asymmetric products range in size from 60x120 cm to 170x190.

Having decided on the shape and size of the bathroom, you can proceed to the selection of the desired shade. Let's consider what colors and their combinations are considered the most popular.

Yellow and orange - these are colors that go well with each other. They are sunny, bright, energizing, giving vigor for the whole day. Swimming in such a bath is a real pleasure. In this case, you can pick up a yellow bath and combine it with the orange decor in the room, or you can do exactly the opposite. You can also successfully combine both colors, for example, the bathtub itself will be yellow, and the tray will be orange.

The yellow-orange palette can be successfully combined with delicate light green, muted red, light blue tones.

Blues and purples are suitable for philosophers and dreamers. They help to calm down, harmonize the environment, streamline thoughts. Such rooms look very fresh and gentle. But in order for the colors to blend well with each other, contrasts must be observed.... For example, light shades of blue and blue will look favorably with dark purple, and if lilac is chosen for decor, you need to buy a deep blue bathtub.

To dilute such a palette, it is recommended to use light brown, gold and silver colors; white will also be an excellent companion.

Unity with nature is what we lack so much in the city. This is why green has become so popular lately. Green baths will perfectly relax after a hard day and will lift your spirits. They can be beautifully combined with finishes of a darker or lighter green color, as long as the structure does not merge with the wall. From other colors, experts advise choosing brown, discreet blue, natural wood color, golden colors.

This design is complemented by decorative tiles depicting leaves, water drops, plants. A very good idea would be to put a living moisture-loving fern in rooms with green bathrooms.

For those who want to bring more romance and emotion into their lives, you need to think about the red-pink combination. But here you need to be careful: the colors should complement each other correctly, the abundance of pink in some cases is inappropriate.

Brown, beige and cream colors create a feeling of warmth and comfort. These colors are most often chosen by people with a delicate taste. A brown bathtub will add completeness to the room, add romance to it. Typically, bathtubs of these colors are complemented by a lighter finish in cream or pastel colors, and also add a few bright accents from a warm range of colors.

A black bath is always eccentric. Despite the fact that many consider this color to be gloomy and completely unsuitable for the bathroom, it still becomes more and more popular day by day. The reason, most likely, lies in its unusualness. In addition, black goes well with all colors, as it is universal. However, it should be noted that such solutions are suitable for large rooms, since black hides the space. Oval and corner dark bathtubs look especially interesting.

It is necessary to choose the color of the bath not only on the basis of your own wishes, but also taking into account the style of the room.

• If your room is decorated in classic style, it is better to choose a discreet color bath. For example, it can be delicate green models, blue, pastel colors, light brown. But black designs or too bright models should not be chosen - the classics appreciate modesty.

• Minimalistic bathrooms, on the contrary, they will sparkle with new colors, if supplemented with bright models. Saturated reds, purples, oranges are the best choice. But do not forget that at least a few accessories must exactly match the color of the bathtub.

• Urban loft, undoubtedly, it will succeed if you choose bathtubs in brown and black colors. In this case, it is better to give preference to the classic or angular shape.

• High tech loves brightness and metal, so bright orange, red or yellow bathtubs will be the best solution for him. Furniture and other plumbing must have metal elements.

• Bathrooms designed in the direction provence, pale pink, light blue, lilac bathtubs will look perfect.
