10 Reasons a Freestanding Bath Is the Perfect Centrepiece

If you’re renovating your bathroom, or perhaps even just redecorating, finding the perfect centrepiece can be difficult. You may opt for a fancy light shade, chic artificial flowers or perhaps a statement wall. But what if we told you that the key to the perfect centrepiece was in your bathroom furniture itself?

Here are 10 reasons a freestanding bath will make for the ideal bathroom centrepiece.

1. It’s a statement in itself

Opting for a freestanding bath can be a daring but exciting move. They’re stylish, comfortable and add an element of luxury to your bathroom. Choosing your freestanding bath as your centrepiece will allow your bathroom to have one focal point, without needing to clutter it with additional accessories.

2. You don’t have to accessorise

As we mentioned above, freestanding baths make such a statement that there really is no need to go overboard with accessorising. Was the thought of finding various accessories in the same shade of your chosen colour pallet stressing you out? Don’t worry about it. You could simply choose one or two supporting accessories and let your freestanding bath do the work.

3. You can accessorise if you want to

Whilst there’s no need to go overboard with accessories, that doesn’t mean you can’t if you really want to. Choosing some complementary pieces to support your freestanding bath can bring a different look and feel to your bathroom. Whether that be adding a bath tray, scented candle or stylish, perfectly placed shampoo bottles - you have plenty of options.

4. You can switch up your accessories for a different look

If you’re someone who gets bored easy, or isn’t a fan of the minimalist life, the thought of using a permanent piece of bathroom furniture as your main centrepiece may seem a little off-putting. But the beauty of doing so is that every time you’re feeling bored of the look and feel of your bathroom, you can switch up your accessories for a brand new look. You can inexpensively change your colour scheme every few months by picking up new towels, candles, artificial flowers and soap. It’s as easy as that.

5. It doesn’t just look good

As well as adding a touch of elegance to one of the most important rooms in the house, freestanding baths are also incredibly comfortable, not to mention luxurious!

Many freestanding baths are extremely roomy and have additional features to aid relaxation such as spa jets and underwater LED lights.

6. They’re easy to clean

As you aren’t forced to position a freestanding bath up against a wall, the ability to move around the unit makes the difficult spots much easier to reach and the overall bath a dream to clean.

Depending on your bathroom layout, you may end up positioning your bath against the wall anyway. But with the standard freestanding bath size being generally larger than normal baths, it isn’t difficult to maneuver your way around when cleaning.

7. You’ll have lots of options

Freestanding baths come in various styles, colours and sizes, so you’ll have lots to choose from. For example, you may choose a double ended whirlpool freestanding bath in white gloss. Or you might decide a modern, acrylic, freestanding slipper bath in black gloss is the best option for you. Whatever your preference, there’ll be something for you.

8. You’ll have a centrepiece and bathing experience in one

Long day at work? Sore back from the gym? Desperate for a spa day? Coming home to a bath that includes a whirlpool, spa jets and relaxing underwater LED lighting will make you thank yourself for opting for a centrepiece that’s so multipurpose!

9. It transforms the look and feel of any bathroom 

We’ve already covered how much added luxury a freestanding bath can bring to your bathroom. But it’s really worth emphasizing just how much one of these baths can ‘level up’ your room’s whole look and feel.

Heading to the bathroom will feel more and more like you’re heading to the spa, or a really fancy hotel bathroom. And it’s likely you’ll spend the first few months thinking, ‘is this really mine?’.

10. They’re not as expensive as you’d think

There’s been a lot of talk around luxury benefits throughout this article and for this reason, we can see why you’d think that freestanding baths aren’t budget-friendly. But in actual fact, they’re a lot more affordable than most people think.

For example, here at JT Spas, our luxury freestanding baths start at just £595 for a 1500mm x 750mm double ended bath. And there are lots of options above this depending on your budget.
