Luxury Contemporary Bathtub

Looking to upgrade your bathroom with a modern bathtub? This guide covers top designs, materials and installation tips to help you choose the perfect modern bathtub.

Freestanding Bathtubs for Modern Homes

Freestanding bathtubs are a modern luxury, serving as the perfect focal point in contemporary bathrooms. Their standalone nature creates a visual focal point that enhances the whole room. Whether placed under a window to enjoy natural light or used as a room divider, freestanding tubs are super versatile.

Continental 1500 Freestanding Stone Bath

These tubs suit all design styles, from minimal to elaborate, so you can choose one that matches your personal taste and bathroom decor. In smaller bathrooms, a well-placed, well-placed freestanding bath can create the illusion of more space, making the room feel bigger without overwhelming the area.

Materials for Modern Bathtubs

Choosing the right material is key for both looks and functionality. Acrylic bathtubs are popular for their durability, ease of installation and lightweight fibreglass reinforcement. Cast iron tubs, favourite in heritage bathrooms, offer excellent heat retention and timeless style but are heavier and more challenging to install.

1700 Stone Resin Bath

Engineered stone and natural stone baths add luxury and elegance with non-slip, easy-to-clean surfaces. Innovative materials like Dolotek offer durability and a soft-touch finish, making them perfect for modern designs.

Meet BAULANE® Freestanding Stone Resin Baths

BAULANE offers premium freestanding stone resin baths made from Bluestone, a high quality composite of natural minerals. These baths have hypoallergenic, stain resistant and coating free surface, beauty and durability in one. Excellent heat retention and smooth non porous finish, luxurious bathing experience.

The BAULANE® range includes various sizes and styles, from the Matte White Freestanding Stone Resin Bath to the Continental series and other designer models. Prices range from £1,395.00 to £2,195.00, reflecting the high craftsmanship and premium materials used. Choosing BAULANE® supports sustainable manufacturing and charitable causes. 5% of net profits go to clean water initiatives.

Modern Shapes and Designs:

Modern bathtubs come in a variety of innovative shapes that define their style. Oval tubs feature organic curves that blend seamlessly into bathroom layouts, while sculptural designs, such as Acquabella’s Acqua white collection, make the tub a work of art.

Minimalist designs with clean lines and geometric shapes, often made from materials like Roca’s Surfex, look sleek and sophisticated. These modern tubs complement minimalist styles perfectly and will enhance any bathroom.

From moody curves of coloured tubs to classic clawfoot models, there’s a designer bathtub to suit every taste and create a modern feel in your space.

Freestanding Bath Installation Tips

Proper installation and your freestanding tub will be a bathroom showstopper. Measure your space carefully, as these tubs need room to fit in comfortably without overwhelming the area. For smaller bathrooms, compact corner tubs or petite freestanding models will maximise space without sacrificing luxury.

Choosing the right faucet complements both function and style. Freestanding faucets offer flexibility and a modern look. Durable materials like stainless steel and brass are popular, often paired with finishes such as matte black or polished nickel, which give a contemporary vibe.

Choosing the Perfect Faucet

The faucet can make your bathtub a modern masterpiece. Freestanding taps are highly recommended for the wow factor and versatility. Single-handle faucets provide control over temperature and flow, and gold finishes add a touch of elegance.

Select a faucet that matches your style and the bathroom’s design. Whether you like the sleekness of chrome or the boldness of matte black, the right taps will elevate both form and function.

Bathing Experience

Modern freestanding tubs come with ergonomic design for maximum comfort, so long soaks are more enjoyable. Many have hydrotherapy jets for massages, for relaxation and overall wellness.

Chromotherapy options add mood enhancing lighting, so it’s like a spa.

Choosing a modern bathtub is all about finding the balance between style, material and function. Freestanding tubs are versatile and elegant, fit all bathroom sizes and styles. Materials like acrylic, cast iron, natural stone and innovative composites offer durability and luxury.

Innovative shapes and designer collections will suit minimalist or classic tastes, and thoughtful installation and faucet selection will enhance both form and function. Bath in style.
