Sorry renters, this probably isn’t an option for you but for those who are remodeling this could be the perfect small bathroom solution. 

If you don’t have room for a traditional roll-top bath, slipper baths are a great alternative. Many come in shorter versions and they offer a great back rest for relaxing after those hard days. 

The shorter bathtub allows more floor space in your tiny bathroom. It’s a great way to find extra storage space in your bathroom, so make sure to check it out.
