Another advantage of a smaller bathtub size is simply that you use less water, which is a saving on the water bill and conserves our precious water supply.
Knee curling to save space
Bathtub sizes are much more varied these days and you can even go smaller than a non-standard 54-inch bathtub if you wish to. Many find smaller than 54 inch perhaps a little too small as many of us are not exactly dwarfs and over 6 feet is the norm these days for many men but having to have your knees up a little higher is a small sacrifice to regain space in your bathroom.
Standard bathtubs are 60 inches so look at your standard size bathtub of 60 inches and imagine it 8 inch shorter, then you get an idea of how much space you can create. It seems worth the sacrifice of an extra bend in the knee as you luxuriate in your bath.
Non-standard bathtub sizes are more usual nowadays therefore, you should not have any problems at all finding a good variety to choose from in all colors and materials.
All leading known brands such as American Standard and Kohler have an abundant range of 54-inch non-standard bathtubs and even smaller if you wanted to go that far.
