Is a bathtub in the bedroom a solution only for the few?

Ravak Freedom W 166x80 white freestanding bathtub XC00100024 Definitely not. Considering the constantly changing design trends, installing an elegant and spacious bathtub in the bedroom is a good solution for almost everyone. This way of arranging the bedroom will be a good choice for:

  • singles;
  • par;
  • people with large, spacious bedrooms.

If you value maximum comfort and love long baths, then a comfortable bathtub of 140x70 cm or larger will be a perfect choice.

However, before you decide on such an arrangement option, you must remember to properly prepare the water and sewage installation. Without a water drain and without the pipes, installing a bathtub, for example, in the middle of the bedroom will not be possible.

Why is it worth choosing a bathtub in the bedroom?

Investing in unusual bathroom equipment is a good idea, especially if you want to combine a bedroom with a bathroom.

So why would a large, comfortable bathtub be a good choice as a complementary element to the interior design of a room? There are several reasons why it is worth choosing this option. The most important are:

  • a timeless style of room arrangement that will delight you every day;
  • maximum comfort during daily rest in the bedroom;
  • saving space – since you have a bathtub in your bedroom, you can put just a small shower in the bathroom and save a lot of space.

This solution allows you to create a perfect SPA zone, all in your own bedroom. By arranging the room in this way, you can create a place in your home that will be unique.

To use the potential of a freestanding bathtub in a bedroom, you need to make sure that all the design elements are consistent with each other. If you have a bedroom with a modern and minimalist theme, then you can effectively highlight the space by installing a freestanding round bathtub in the center of the room.

An alternative option is to have the tub built into the floor surface – if possible. Then you can place it right next to your bed, creating a truly luxurious space. This way, you can immediately get into the tub after waking up and start your day with a bath.

What kind of bedrooms might consider a freestanding bathtub?

A room with a usable area of 20-30 m2 will be an optimal option for combining the features of a bathroom and a comfortable bedroom. By installing a free-standing bathtub in the bedroom, you can relax every day as you wish.

Also, try to choose the right place for installation. When you want luxury, it is best to place a freestanding bathtub in the center of the room or by a large terrace window that reaches all the way to the floor.

In such a situation, instead of a wooden floor, choose ceramic tiles. You will be sure that any water that splashes will not negatively affect the floor.

Also remember about other, equally important technical aspects:

  • effective room ventilation;
  • a suitably durable ceiling structure that will withstand the load of a bathtub full of water.

You can also think about installing underfloor heating. This way, after the band in the bedroom, you will start walking comfortably on a warm floor.

The way a room is arranged is important in the context of luxury, but without technical preparation of the room you will not be able to safely, aesthetically and correctly install a free-standing bedroom.
