Dip into Dramatic Views!


There are plenty of reasons to opt for the freestanding tub and aesthetics is definitely on top of that list. Apart from the sculptural beauty that these striking tubs seem to almost inherently posses, they also give you the convenience of being placed pretty much anywhere. You are no longer boxed in by concrete walls and this gives you a freedom to enjoy that amazing view outside. Just place a luxurious standalone bathtub next to the large glass window or sliding glass doors and take in the many sights and sounds of the world around you.

Captivating Textural Brilliance


Do not think of the standalone tub as just another addition to the bathroom. In fact, use to add an element of textural contrast to a space that is largely dominated by concrete and glass. Dashing and at times visually startling, this can uplift the aura of your bathroom instantly and give it an entirely different dimension. Modern freestanding tubs are available in glittering metal that features copper and nickel. These tubs are a touch more costly than regular bathtubs, but are well worth the dough if you are looking to add an instant showstopper to your bathroom.

Metallic bathtubs also keep the water warmer for a longer period of time and while they do demand extra care and attention, they are an ideal choice for those opting for a vintage, period theme. Do not be afraid to bring home bathtubs in natural walnut either as they are pretty durable nowadays thanks to the extremely resistant coating and finishes that are available in the market. Natural stone like basalt is another great option for those thinking of a bathtub crafted from something beyond marble.

But the trendy contemporary bathtub also comes in plenty of different finishes, geometric shapes and sizes. Pick something that perfect fits into the design plan that you have for your own bathroom. If you are trying to fit one in a small corner then look for a design that features angular edges and makes up for lack of length with sufficient depth. Those who are not really worried about space are much better served with the popular elongated-oval models.

Making a Visual Impact


Call it elegance, style, sophistication or grandeur; the freestanding tub is all about showing off your bathroom with panache! If you are surrounded by too much of the ‘same thing’ then the tub is a fabulous way to create a focal point that creates a rich visual. If you are not too high on bringing contrast through texture, then try a colorful change of pace with a bathtub in tangy orange or stoic grey. At times, the tub can be used to accentuate the existing theme without being too overwhelming.
