For a real experience in opulence, consider installing a hot tub in your home!  If you have the space for it and are considering remodeling anyway, a hot tub can be ideal for you in many ways, and in terms of sheer comfort, nothing quite beats getting to sit in your hot tub in your own home.  If you aren't sure whether or not this luxury is right for you, there are a few things you need to consider.

First, how often will you be using your hot tub?  If the question is deciding between an outdoor hot tub or an indoor one, think about which one you will get more use and enjoyment out of.  If you are getting a hot tub for health reasons as well as for entertainment purposes, you should keep in mind that an indoor hot tub will be more accessible and you will be much more likely to use it on a daily basis.  Depending on where you live, also, it can affect how often you use your hot tub.  If you live in a place where it's only warm four months out of the year, an indoor hot tub will likely see more use than one that is buried under coverings in the snow.  

Think about whether your home is suitable for a hot tub.  There are many construction concerns to consider.  For instance, an indoor hot tub will promote a lot of humidity in your home, so you must consider a vapor barrier to resist moisture.  Similarly, you need co consider the foundation issues.  A regular floor is meant take about 40 pounds of pressure per square foot, while a hot tub can easily weigh in at 250 pounds of pressure per square foot.  Between foundation issues and wiring issues, a specialist should be consulted unless you have some prior experience yourself.

Ideally, an indoor hot tub will have a room of its own.  With a single room, you can more easily control the humidity issues as well as the heat that will be generated.  You will also want to think about maintenance for your indoor hot tub.  To perform at peak levels, your indoor hot tub does require you to do things like check the water, but this is significantly less work than an outdoor tub where you would need to worry about debris getting into the water.  With an indoor tub, you can use it at a moment's notice without worrying about things like leaves and insects.

An indoor hot tub is a large investment in some ways and it will definitely raise the value of your home as well as providing you with a wonderful place to relax at the end of the day.  If you decide to put in an indoor hot tub, you will have something that you and your guests can enjoy for years to come!
