An unusual bathtub can add a stylish touch to your bathroom. Unusual bathtubs can be of unusual shapes, colors or made of unusual materials. Whether you prefer classic or modern styles, you can always find an unusual bathtub to suit your tastes and pleasure your aesthetic senses. Made of see-through colored glass, carved from a natural stone or decorated with Swarovsky crystals the modern bathtub design has been taken to the whole new level. However, if you are fond of the old-fashioned copper bathtubs used centuries ago you can have that too. There are also futuristic bathtub designs that can combine shower stall and bathtub in one. There are illuminating colorful bathtubs that create an intimate atmosphere in your bathroom. If you want to install an unusual bathtub make sure it matches your bathroom design. Also consider the space of your bathroom while choosing, as their designs can be bold not only in terms of materials but also in terms of space.

Baldi Amethyst Bathtub Is the Ultimate Luxury Bath Experience Baldi of Florence, Italy, has released the ultimate luxury bathtub, made of precious purple amethyst and accented with 24 karat gold plated legs.  The amethyst bathtub retails for 95,000 Euros, or $121,200 in the United States today.  The company made matching tumbler, lotion dispenser, and soap dish. Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz used in jewelry.  The name comes from the Greek “intoxicated” because the ancient civilization thought that drinking alcohol out of an amethyst cup would prevent drunkenness. Up to 18th century amethyst was included in the cardinal, or most valuable, gemstones (along with diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald). However since the discovery of extensive deposits in locations such as Brazil, Amethyst has lost most of its value.
