When it comes to transforming your bathroom into a luxurious retreat, few features make as bold a statement as a freestanding bath. These elegant, versatile fixtures add character and sophistication to any bathroom, providing a relaxing space for you to unwind after a long day. However, choosing the right freestanding bath can be a daunting task given the vast array of options available. From size to material and style, there are several factors to consider, ensuring your new bath fits perfectly into your space and meets all your needs. Here’s a guide to help you choose the ideal freestanding bath for your bathroom.
Consider Your Bathroom Size
The priority when selecting your freestanding bath should be based on the size your bathroom or bedroom where it will sit. In smaller spaces your bath acts as part of a collaborative design choice with your other fittings, but in larger spaces it can serve as a statement piece.
- Small bathrooms: If you have a compact space, look for a bath that is sleek and space efficient. A smaller freestanding bath is perfect for a tight space while still offering up a luxurious feel. Remember to ensure there is enough clearance around your bath too, for easy access and movement. The Ego Bath is a great option measuring 160cm x 70cm, and with its clean geometric lines it can still sit near a wall to save on space.
- Large bathrooms / statement space: For the larger room, you have a little more flexibility in terms of size and shape. You might opt for a traditional, wide bath or a double-ended tub that offers roomy space. Consider the layout of your room and how the bath will complement your other fixings like the shower and basin. For ultimate luxury, take a look at G&M’s Round or Square Baths – designed to give your space a serence, spa-like vibe.
Functionality & Comfort
Whilst the overall appearance of your bath is important, the functinality and comfort of your bath shouldn’t be overlooked. Ensure that when you choose your bath, you look for features that will offer you the support for a relaxing soak.
- Slipper baths: A slipper style bath features one end that is raised for comfortable reclining. If you enjoy a long, luxurious soak, this is a good style to consider. The Waldorf Bath has clean rounded lines, with one end designed to act as a reclined backrest and the other to facilitate a sitting position.
