Choosing between a shower and a hot tub can be dilemma indeed, specifically for those who are just starting out in their own homes. On the average. most people opt to have both in their bathroom. A hot tub can be great when giving kids a bath while a shower can provide a quick wash for people on the move.

Before you make a move on choosing either a hot tub or a shower, you must understand that there are already existing pros and cons in each one.knowing these will help you make a better investment and a great configuration on your bathroom.

According to Mary Jo Peterson, a CBD Certified Bathroom Designer and owner of Mary Jo Peterson Design, it is best that you choose what to use according to the lifestyle that you live. Joan Kohn, host of the HGTVs Kitchen Design and Bed & Bath Design and author of Joan Kohns Its Your Bed and Bath: Hundreds of Beautiful Design Ideas, reflects Peterson's outlook and that people should ask themselves how frequent do they take baths or showers to make a good choice.

The frequency is a good indicator which bathroom fixture perfectly suits your lifestyle. Although, resale is also a thing to look at when buying a tub, Kohn said that people focus too much on the resale value of their homes and not their own necessities.

A basic hot tub will do for any home and for any person who tend to dip into a hot tub on a not-so frequent basis. Peterson adds that people should only invest in high end hot tubs if they truly want it and use it on a more regular basis.

You also have to consider the space of your bathroom. If there's no space to squeeze you hot tub, then don't push the issue. Another thing to consider is the ease of use. Showers offer easy entry "exit access whereas getting into and out of tubs can be a challenge for specific people such as the old adults, people with back problems, etc.

Regardless of your designs and schemes, a bathroom should cater your needs and priorities. Needless to say, a bathroom configuration is the one that makes sense.
