Bathroom trends: The standalone or freestanding bath

If you are considering a bathroom makeover or if you are looking to create the ultimate bathroom style statement, look no further than the latest bathroom trend of the standalone or freestanding bath. The freestanding bath does not require any tiling. Finished on all sides, the standalone bath serves as a focal point in your bathroom décor.

This bath, known for its elegant simplicity, was originally part of the bathing practice of the English aristocracy in the 19th Century, where it became a symbol of bathroom luxury of the Victorian era.

Known for their versatility, the standalone tub can be used in large bathrooms, making a visual statement, or in a small bathroom, fitting neatly close to the wall.  The freestanding bath works well with different bathroom styles, with bathtubs made across the style spectrum from the ornate ball and claw of the Victorian bath, right through to the asymmetrical design of the modern standalone bathtub.

Benefits of the freestanding baths:

● Different options means you get to choose a bath which                       accommodates your budget         

● Freestanding baths take you into the realm of bathroom furniture       rather than a bathroom fixture

● It creates a spa-like feel to a bathroom, allowing you to relax in            luxury

● The wide range of baths enables a choice for all bathroom styles

● The all-sided finish makes it easy to clean

● Accommodates space constraints standing as a central piece  for large bathrooms or close to the wall in a small bathroom

● Provides the ultimate experience of coming home after a tough day and climbing into an oval shaped freestanding bubble-      filled bath and soaking your cares away!

So remember, next time you’re enjoying your bathroom experience in sophistication, comfort and style in the bath choice of kings, queens, lords and ladies of the past (and present), that you’re enjoying the bathing experience in good company.
