Classic Bathrooms in Contemporary Homes
Combining traditional and contemporary bathroom design can be difficult to get right, but not impossible. This form of designing is often born from couples with conflicting ideas for their home. One seeks to keep the clean lines of the modern while the other yearns for a grand Victorian bathroom. Other couples simply appreciate the feel of a traditional bathroom yet wish to keep their modern homes bang on theme.
When choosing a bathroom design for a contemporary home it's a sensible idea to ensure the fixtures, fittings and layout of the room fits in with the overall look and feel of the home. There's no need to give up on those traditional touches though as designers have taken these ideas and given them a modern twist. You can have the bathroom that will please everyone in the home and here are some of the popular bathtubs that are ideal for such homes.
Modern Style Freestanding Baths
Freestanding baths of the Victorian era are hugely popular today. It's a trend that appears to wish to stay put and for good reason. A freestanding bath adds grandeur and luxury to any room, it's a design feature that appeals across generations, so why fight it just because you have a modern home? The amazing news is freestanding baths now come in modern designs yet still retain that traditional extravagance we all adore.
The contemporary freestanding bath is the perfect example of modern design. The high sides let you sink into the bubbles and truly escape from the world for a while. The mould of the bath tub provides the ideal position for relaxation and the bath has internal thermal sheeting ensuring the temperature of the bath water remains warmer for longer ? pure bliss.
Another option is the Curve freestanding luxury bath. Unlike the Charlotte Edwards, this bath modernises the traditional rolltop bath, but the straighter lines. The clean lines ensure this bath will fit in perfectly with the up to date surroundings of any contemporary home.
If you prefer curves, we recommend the Synergy San Marlo freestanding bath. This bath is a masterful centrepiece that adds to the cutting edge design of any contemporary bathroom. Heat panels of thermal sheeting allow you to get the most from your hot water, keeping the temperature warmer for longer, ideal for anyone who loves to spend time reading or pampering in the bathroom.
Adding the Finishing Touches
Once you've chosen the right rolltop bath for your home you?ll need to select the taps. Thankfully you?ll find a wide choice of taps that will complement the bath and the bathroom itself. Some options to consider include the Ruby Square Waterfall bath tap with the handheld shower attachment. Made from solid brass and finished in chrome plate, the tap is the ideal option as it adds glamour and a touch of exuberance without being old fashioned in design.
