Few design elements make as striking an impact as a bath from our freestanding bathtub collection. These sculptural, luxurious pieces not only enhance the look of your bathroom but also offer a retreat from daily life. With styles ranging from classic clawfoot tubs to sleek, minimalist designs, freestanding baths are more than just fixtures - they’re a statement. But how do you know if a freestanding tub is right for your space? Let’s explore what makes them so appealing and the essentials to consider before making your choice.
Bold Beauty: Why Freestanding Tubs Steal the Show
Freestanding tubs instantly elevate the bathroom, acting as both a functional feature and a focal point. Unlike our selection of built-in tubs, which can be restricted by layout constraints, freestanding tubs are designed to stand alone, creating a centrepiece that invites relaxation. Brands like Bette, Decina, and Seima, available at Cook & Bathe, offer a range of elegant options that suit various design preferences - from classic to contemporary.
The sculptural beauty of freestanding tubs allows them to fit seamlessly into any decor, offering versatility and the opportunity to personalise your bathroom. For smaller bathrooms, consider a more compact, oval-shaped tub, which can still make an impression without overwhelming the space.
Finding Your Fit: The Perfect Tub for Every Space
When it comes to freestanding tubs, size matters. Ensuring you have enough clearance around the tub is key, as freestanding designs typically require space on all sides. This is essential not only for aesthetics but also for practical reasons, such as cleaning and ease of movement around the bathroom.
The style of your tub should complement the overall look of your bathroom. For a vintage or traditional aesthetic, consider a clawfoot tub, while a minimalist, oval design works beautifully in modern or contemporary spaces. Brands like Otti and Fienza offer a variety of shapes and finishes, from sleek matte to luxurious gloss, that blend form with function.
Effortless Elegance: Caring for Your Freestanding Centrepiece
While freestanding tubs are designed to be low-maintenance, proper care will keep them looking new. Acrylic tubs, such as those offered by Decina, are easy to clean and relatively lightweight. Simply wipe them down with a mild soap and water solution to prevent any buildup. For more durable materials like stone or metal, occasional sealing and gentle cleaning are recommended to maintain their finish and prevent scratches.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface, and instead opt for non-abrasive, tub-safe solutions. With the right maintenance routine, your freestanding tub will remain a beautiful, functional feature for years to come.
Soak in Style: Freestanding Tub Designs to Suit Every Taste
With so many options available, finding a freestanding tub that matches your taste and lifestyle is easier than ever. Some popular styles include:
Classic Clawfoot Tubs: Perfect for traditional bathrooms, clawfoot tubs add a touch of elegance and a vintage feel.
Minimalist Oval Tubs: Ideal for modern homes, oval tubs are understated yet sophisticated.
Bold Rectangular Tubs: For a contemporary edge, rectangular designs offer a striking, architectural look.
Natural Stone and Matte Finishes: For a spa-inspired feel, stone or matte-finished tubs create an organic, serene ambiance.
With options from brands like Seima and Fienza, Cook & Bathe provides a diverse selection to suit every taste, ensuring you find the perfect tub to transform your bathroom.
