How Freestanding Bathtubs Can Transform Your Home

 

A simple flip through a décor magazine will let you know that freestanding tubs are trending in the world of interior design. Homeowners cannot seem to get enough of streamlining their bathrooms and turning them into works of functional art. Designers and manufacturers have picked up on this trend and have reassessed the way plumbing can look – and the results have been exquisite. If you, like many others, have fallen in love with the magnificence of these wonderful creations, then keep reading to find out how a freestanding bath can transform your home.

Freestanding baths

Hot tubs are an investment, and depending on which one you buy, prices can be rather costly. Spending a lot of money on something that will not work well for you is not wise, which is why you will need to look into a few aspects that you may not have considered before. At Summer Place, we encourage people to do their homework before settling for a spa they know nothing about, so we have put together a few of the most important factors to think about while looking for the perfect Jacuzzi bath.

Where it All Began

Freestanding tubs have been around longer than recessed tubs (the kind installed against a wall). When looking at history, it may be surprising to find that a private tub in the home only really gained popularity in the 1800s. By the late 19th century, those elegant “clawfoot” tubs were at the height of their popularity. Due to the fact that they were constructed using porcelain-lined cast iron, the water inside these baths stayed warm for a long time, which made bathing enjoyable. Thus began the tub’s journey into being considered an item of luxury and relaxation instead of being used merely for hygiene purposes.

An Element of Luxury

The affluent families in the Victorian era that relished in their daily sponge baths set the tone for bathing as we now know it – freestanding tubs are considered fancy. They are also regarded as rare, as most modern homes have a recessed or alcove bath installed. Investing in a freestanding tub will undoubtedly add luxury to your bathroom.

The Perfect Use of Space

A large, spacious bathroom needs some clever decorating, or it may feel neglected and empty. In terms of architectural aesthetics, introducing a freestanding tub to the room makes the most of negative space and engages the eye. If you are keen on a design concept far from anything ordinary and traditional, then such a product would work best for you.

A Statement Piece

Freestanding tubs go against the norm. This is why they make such a striking first impression. They are meant to be installed in a prominent position, so that an individual lays eyes on it first when entering the bathroom. Another reason why they are so captivating is that one can visually engage with the design from all sides.

Express Your Creativity

Style is everywhere, not just in fashion or furniture. Your sense of style and creativity can and should be represented in every object you place in your home – even the plumbing. Freestanding tubs not only come in a vast range of styles and sizes, but you can select one that contributes to and accents your personal taste. Life is far too short to settle for anything you do not absolutely enjoy using.
