In modern and contemporary homes, the bathroom has become an important part and it is given plenty more attention than a while ago. The bathroom is a tranquil, private and relaxing space and it’s usually minimalist. The furniture is kept simple and the chromatic palette includes fresh and relaxing colors. As for the bathtub, freestanding models are often preferred.

Freestanding bathtubs offer several great advantages that are difficult to ignore. First of all, they add a modern touch to the room. As opposed to drop in bathtubs, they don’t have to be placed against the walls. They also offer more freedom as they can be positioned anywhere in the room.

Freestanding tubs are particularly great for large bathrooms.That’s because in a large bathroom it wouldn’t be aesthetical to install the bathtub directly near the wall. It looks far more beautiful and interesting if placed elsewhere.

But there’s also another advantage that comes with this freedom. For example, if your bathroom has a large window with beautiful views, you can place the tub in that particular spot in order to take advantage of this feature. You can also raise the tub on a platform or opt for all sorts of original design and décor solutions.
