Freestanding bathtub - it reminds us of luxury, expensive hotels, and beautiful pictures on social media. However, it is also increasingly being chosen for the home! We’re not surprised at all: freestanding bathtubs are incredibly charming, they add an interesting and modern character to the bathroom, and the abundance of models provides great possibilities for interior design! Many people wonder how to choose and properly position a freestanding bathtub in their bathroom - to prepare well for this, you need to keep a few important points in mind! Today we advise on how to plan the positioning of a freestanding bathtub.
Freestanding bathtub: luxury in every bathroom
A common stereotype is that freestanding bathtubs are definitely more expensive than the classic ones and can only be afforded by wealthy individuals - this type of bathtub is synonymous with luxury. Indeed, such a model gives every interior an elegant and unique character, but we prove that everyone can afford a freestanding bathtub!
A freestanding bathtub is an ornament in every bathroom and is an extremely characteristic element of its equipment. Thanks to it, even rather classic interiors can become perfect places for relaxation and a home SPA! Certainly, many associate such solutions with expensive hotels or movies - who among us wouldn’t want to relax in such circumstances? Freestanding bathtubs are an excellent solution even for small bathrooms - there is a huge choice of sizes, so if you’re considering a freestanding bathtub but aren’t sure if it will fit your bathroom: we are convinced you will find something for yourself!
Freestanding bathtub: comfort for everyone!
Choosing freestanding bathtubs is not just a desire to create a relaxation corner in the comfort of your own home - it’s also a great convenience! These models allow access from all sides, so you don’t feel "restricted" by the proximity of walls. The dimensions of the bathtubs range from 150 to 180 cm in length and 75 to 90 cm in width: therefore, they are also suitable for smaller bathrooms. Despite such sizes, bathing is still extremely comfortable and enjoyable: especially since freestanding bathtubs are made of acrylic. This material is warm to the touch and prevents water from cooling as quickly as in classic bathtubs.
Moreover, these bathtubs are available in various versions, making it easy to choose the right model for your bathroom, regardless of its size. There are retro-style ones available, on legs - they are reminiscent of classic films where the heroine enjoys champagne and strawberries. For more modern bathrooms, you can choose an oval or rectangular bathtub. In smaller bathrooms, bathtubs that are mounted against the wall will work well.
Where to place a freestanding bathtub
Placing such a bathtub mainly depends on the space available - in a smaller bathroom, unfortunately, there isn’t much possibility to place it in the middle of the room. The situation is different in large bathrooms: the freestanding bathtub can easily be located away from the wall, thus becoming the main feature of the place. Furthermore, such a setup allows for easy cleaning of the floor around it, making vacuuming or mopping the floor not a problem at all.
Before you choose a freestanding bathtub, remember to prepare appropriately for its installation - for it, it is necessary to place the drainage and pipes in the floor, not in the wall, as is the case with traditional bathtubs. Installing a freestanding bathtub also requires paying attention to the placement of the drain: it should be located as close as possible to the sewage system. An important factor is also the tap: there is no need to choose a traditional wall-mounted tap - you can choose modern freestanding taps! This way, you can arrange your SPA area however you dream of: in this bathtub, you will relax like nowhere else!
