The bathroom is a place where we could all benefit from a little bit of luxury – after all, it’s where many of us go to relax in the tub after a hard day at work. With so many designers to choose from, such as Laufen, it has never been more easy to create a wash room like this.
However, it’s not only the designer you choose, but also the furniture – and for a taste of real opulence, the most important item in this part of your property is the bath itself.
Today, we are all in such a rush so much of the time and washing is often something we do in a hurry rather than enjoy. However, when you have a large tub waiting for you to have a soak in, you will probably make more time in your schedule to take advantage of this.
Here are just a few of the luxurious tubs you could opt for.
Freestanding
Perhaps because we have little time left to indulge in a long soak in the bath, today bathroom designs ensure that when we do, the experience is as enjoyable as possible. As a result, baths are no longer features that are simply fitted against a wall out of the way, but are the centrepiece of the room.
For a bath positioned in the middle of the floor, your best option is a freestanding tub, which means it is mounted on legs. Many of these items are antique looking, but there are also modern options like the Happy D suite from Duravit, which is simple and has smart flowing lines.
Roll tops
If you’re a fan of the vintage look, a roll top bath is a must. These are typically freestanding and can come on wither four legs or a stand that conceals them. However, it is not all about looks and a roll top is perhaps the most comfortable style of tub, as the curved edge is a great neck support as when you recline in the warm water.
Like with other freestanding designs, a freestanding roll top is also a good investment piece as you can take it with you when you move, unlike integrated tubs. With this in mind, if you are buying one for a bathroom that has a more standard bath – which is positioned against the wall – you may have to start from scratch as a freestanding unit is usually the first item to be installed.
Corner baths
Few things say style and luxury more than a corner bath, particularly the whirlpool options that have been popular in recent years. The key advantage of this type of tub is space, as the square shape means you have plenty of room to stretch out and really relax.
If you have kids, it is also a good option as such a unit will easily accommodate two children, allowing them to play together and make bath time fun. This type of bath is integrated with the rest of the suite so looks more modern than a freestanding option, which is great if you are a fan of cutting edge interiors.
The one thing all three of these tubs have in common is that they are a real focal point and you will soon find you are keen to factor in some time in your busy day to indulge in a long soak.
