Don’t just call it a bathtub. A freestanding<\/strong> tub can be so much more. A stunning, sculptural object, it becomes the real key design feature<\/strong> in the room, a luxurious element that makes your bathroom decor (and not only that) unique.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Freestanding bathtubs are decor features much loved by interior designer<\/strong>s because they are perfect for giving the room character<\/strong>, without needing to add many more units and accessories.<\/p>\n

Natural they are not all the same. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, materials and colours.<\/strong> These are all characteristics that should be carefully considered for a bathroom feature that occupies a large amount of space, <\/strong>immediately drawing attention to itself<\/strong>. How do you choose the right one? Here are a few tips for adding a freestanding bathtub to your decor.<\/p>\n

How to design a bathroom with a freestanding bathtub<\/h2>\n

If you are designing your new bathroom<\/strong> and you dream of a large bathtub where you can lie back and relax<\/strong> in glorious solitude, there are two options. You can start off by choosing the bathroom furniture<\/strong> and then picking a bath in the same style or you can decide to make the bathtub your key design feature<\/strong> and “construct” the rest of the bathroom decor around it.<\/p>\n

In the photo above, for example, the choice of bathroom furniture came from Composition 11 of the Kami Collection<\/a> by Mastella. The perfect match for the integrated washbasin in gold veined marble effect Gres Noir Desir is an equally striking bathtub like Anahita<\/a>.\u00a0Its design is perfect to soften the tones of the room with a touch of lightness<\/strong>, yet maintaining all of the elegance <\/strong>(it was also chosen to furnish the bathroom in Italian Big Brother 16!).<\/p>\n

If you’ve already fallen in love with one particular bathtub instead, then you can start with that and design the rest of the bathroom around it. Choosing Vov Black<\/a>, one of the iconic freestanding bathtub creations by Mastella, you only need add a few minimal black tone-on-tone or pale wood contrast elements for guaranteed effect.<\/p>\n

Beyond the boundaries of the bathroom<\/h2>\n

The freestanding bathtub can also be installed somewhere other than the bathroom<\/strong>. You can experiment with original choices, for example putting one in a study <\/strong>(who doesn’t like the idea of relaxing in the bath with a good book?) or in the bedroom<\/strong>, like the design below, where the classic Vov White<\/a> designed by Oriano Favaretto, is a perfect fit.<\/p>\n
