Fact #1. The bathtub as we know it today is personal. It's not meant for more than one or two bathers at a time. While it was not the normal way to bathe in ancient Greece, evidence of personal wash basins and bathtubs have been found dating back centuries. The common way to bathe was in what's referred to as the public bath house. The Greeks established the first bath houses for both leisurely relaxation and personal hygiene.
Fact #2. Ancient Rome took the bath house a step further. They had them outfitted with water via indoor plumbing, often supplied by local rivers or hot springs. They were cultural hubs where socialization would occur. In addition to heated water baths, Roman bath houses also had libraries, cafeterias, gyms, and poetry reading rooms.
Fact #3. The primary function of a bath rug is to lay on the floor and absorb water. It's also meant to protect our bare feet from the cold floor in the mornings. As such, it's very easy to take for granted. There are many cases in which one may actually save the day. Accidental falls account for half of all accidental deaths in the home. These falls can be caused by something as simple as water on the bathroom floor.
Fact #4. Some design elements of the bathroom simply need to fit. In a new home, there's often the desire to compete with the pictures one can find in interior design magazines. If both the walls and floors are basic colors, adding a splash of brightness with a colorful bath rug can draw the eye and add a touch of vibrancy.
Fact #5. As newer research continues to reveal the effects of bathing on the body, more benefits are discovered. Hydrotherapy has been around for thousands of years after all, to treat the sore, the sick, and the stressed out. Most noticeably, bathing reduces muscle tensions and improves blood circulation.
