Bathroom Design Ideas

Freestanding baths give homeowners all the elegance of the tubs of old without denying them the convenience of modern plumbing. Moreover, depending on preference, these freestanding tubs can either have traditional, footed looks or more sleekly-modern and organic shapes. Some are even shaped to evoke natural stone pools, garden objects like buckets and planters, farm objects like troughs, and even animals like swans.

Essentially, whether you have Victorian, natural, or modern tastes, there’s likely a freestanding bath on the market for you. These come from a range of luxury manufacturers including Royce Morgan and Imperial and are, in most cases, guaranteed to last for a lifetime.

Some, like Royce Morgan’s Osaka tub and Carron Elysee’s Freestanding Bath, have porcelain tubs set on wooden pedestals, suggesting the elegance of Asia. Others, like the Imperial Baglioni Cobra Cast Iron Bath and the Imperial Radison Cureo Freestanding Cast Iron Bath, use the clean elegance of metal to give the bathrooms in which they are installed an industrial feel.

Luxury freestanding baths like the Rectangularo Bath even employ lighting options.

More traditional freestanding baths like the Royce Morgan Kensington Freestanding Bath, the Imperial Bentley Double Ended Bath, and the Imperial Ritz Slipper Bath all have feet that evoke Victorian baths of old. Still though these baths, and others like them, manage to harmonize the feet of historical baths with the sleek modern lines that appeal to contemporary consumers. Many of these freestanding baths also employ creative colour palettes – misty greens, deep browns, rosy corals – that will brighten any bathroom.
