Hey everyone! My wife and I have recently moved into a new house, and we're considering a pretty unique setup for our master bedroom. We've got this sitting room that's about 12' x 12', and instead of the usual seating arrangement, we're thinking about installing a big soaking or spa tub there. Our last house had a deep soaking tub that we loved using, especially in the colder months, but our new place unfortunately doesn't have that. We want to know if putting a tub in this sitting area is a bad idea. Would it feel odd to future buyers? We're planning on doing it right by keeping the existing half walls, removing the carpet, and ensuring that everything is waterproof and properly plumbed. We intend to stay here for the long haul (20-30 years), but we're curious about the practicality and potential perceptions of such a setup.

Had a similar setup on my honeymoon and it was heavenly! Honestly, I wish I had that luxury in my home now. Putting it in the sitting room sounds great; just make sure it's well-planned with drainage and ventilation. You won’t regret it!
Honestly, it’s your house, so do what makes you happy! Future buyers will probably appreciate a tub over a sitting room that doesn’t serve much purpose. Just make sure you've got all the moisture management sorted out, and you’ll be fine!
True! It's about creating a space you'll enjoy, not just following the norm.
I say go for it! Life's too short not to have a tub right in your bedroom. Sure, you can't really show it off to friends, but think about those cozy, relaxing nights in the tub instead. It’d be your personal little sanctuary!
Totally agree! It's like creating your mini spa right at home. Sounds fantastic!
That sounds dreamy! We had a jetted tub before too, and I can't wait to have one again with a view.
