Deciding on a freestanding bath is worth considering your own expectations first. There is currently a huge variety of models on the market, making it quite a challenge to choose the right one! A well-thought-out decision will ensure that not only will we match the right bath to the size, but also create the dream interior arrangement with its help.
Well-utilised space
The most important task before choosing a freestanding bath is to plan the bathroom space wisely. In this regard, it is necessary to take into account not only the dimensions of the room, but also the amount of free space that will ensure comfortable use of the interior by every household member. It is not necessary to forgo this option in smaller bathrooms. Currently, there are freestanding baths on the market that guarantee functional space due to their compact dimensions. The shape of the bath is also of great importance. If there is a lot of space, round models might be an interesting solution. They not only provide an original design but also exceptional comfort during bathing.
Another factor in choosing is the place where we would like to place the sanitary ware. In small spaces, installing in a corner or against a wall is an excellent idea. In large bathrooms or bathing rooms, a freestanding bath looks best in the centre of the room. This not only makes it a focal point of the design but also ensures convenient access to the bath from every side. Nowadays, this solution is very popular among interior designers.
Unique atmosphere in the interior
One of the main criteria when choosing a freestanding bath is its decorative values. No wonder! Choosing this type of solution, the bath becomes the dominant element of the interior's decor. Therefore, it is extremely important to think about what effect we would like to achieve in the bathroom. There are many retro-style models on the market that will transform the bathroom into a classic room from the past. Their characteristic feature is the traditional oval shape and distinctive decorative iron legs. They fit perfectly into Art Deco rooms. For people who appreciate modern arrangements, freestanding baths with a minimalist design will work perfectly. Square models and basin-shaped ones are the most popular.
Another important factor influencing the interior's decor is the material from which the freestanding bath is made. In modern bathrooms, sanitary acrylic, characterised by its exceptional lightness and a warm, pleasant-to-the-touch surface, is perfect. Freestanding baths made of steel or cast mineral look very luxurious. However, it should be remembered that this solution will find application in larger bathrooms with floors resistant to heavy loads. In interiors inspired by Scandinavian or Japanese styles, unusual wooden baths look perfect.
When considering the choice of a freestanding bath that will become a beautiful decoration of the interior, the type of fittings is also of great importance. The most popular are freestanding taps, which, due to installation in the floor, fit every model. In the case of a bath with a wide edge, a deck-mounted tap can also be considered. Regardless of the chosen solution, it is worth ensuring that the selected fittings stylistically match the bath.
A cohesive whole arrangement
Before choosing a freestanding bath, it's worth thinking about the overall appearance of the interior arrangement. Although the bath will be the main element of the decor, the aesthetics of the entire room will depend on the appropriate finish and selection of accessories. In the case of modern bathrooms, it is worth focusing on simplicity and functionality. A characteristic feature of such rooms is maintaining restraint in colour selection and furniture minimalism. In Art Deco rooms, a retro-style bath pairs perfectly with black and white checkered tiles or tiles imitating white bricks. If the bath does not have a sufficiently wide rim, it is a good idea to place a shelf or bench nearby for cosmetics. It is very important that the chosen furniture be in a similar style. To increase the comfort of getting in and out of the bath, especially those of great depth, it might be a good idea to build a small step.
