For a couple of years now, the trend of clawfoot tubs has emerged. These tubs have become the favorite item of bathroom boards on Pinterest.
They’re also very common in the pages of glossy magazines which feature bathroom makeovers. Clawfoot tubs are well-loved mainly because they have a certain old-fashioned charm.
However, the fact is, these tubs aren’t very practical. What’s worse, having one in your home may cause some damage.
Although clawfoot tubs may add a retro or classy element to your space, you also need to know about the pitfalls of owning one.

Jonathan and Drew Scott, the spokespeople of Esurance and the stars of “Property Brothers,” the HGTV show, enlightened us on this topic. For one, you can’t place a clawfoot tub flat against a wall.
So when you use it, the tub will cause a lot of spillages. Over time, this will start causing damage to the wall. The water might also seep into the floor and start dripping on the lower level.
Nobody wants to deal with damages in the home especially if it’s caused by a simple household item. So if you still want to have a clawfoot tub in your bathroom, make sure that the bathroom is completely tiled making it waterproof.
