3,653 Views - Click for Slideshow Bath tubs have been common elements of the home for eons, but they’ve come a long way since they were just basins heated by coals. Not only that, but today, tubs are used for so much more than just getting clean. If a quick hygienic wash was all you were after, you would probably opt for the shower.

Instead of fighting with, or bribing, your children to get in the bathtub, why not buy a tub they will enjoy soaking in? The following designs highlight a range of tubs that were designed to turn bathing time into an enjoyable experience. Via: trendhunter
