an attractive and comfortable bath?

4 years ago

We’re just about to refit a bathroom. A traditional freestanding would suit the look but we had one years ago and it was really difficult to get in and out and not comfortable. Has anybody a recommendation for a bath which looks good, is easy to get in and out and is comfortable for a long relaxing soak reading a book?!

Just a few questions (!)
What kind of style? (You mentioned traditional)
What kind of size?
Will it be in the middle of the room or will in be against a wall?
Do you need it for showering?

Maybe a floor plan would help too...!

The bathroom is being moved into a currently empty square room and the bath can be any size (within reason!) and any position-in the middle, corner or against the wall. It can be freestanding or built in. There will be a separate shower. In terms of style- I’d like it to be a feature which is why (except for comfort) a traditional freestanding would have been perfect. I think the answer will be built in with a comfortable sloping back but if anyone has an alternative, I’d be pleased to hear!

If you are doing in-floor heating (hydronic heating) I would go with tile. If you are not, go with wood. That's from the energy and comfort perspective. It's OK to look at the two options and choose the one that's most attractive. Don't feel like you need to optimize for energy with every decision. Also, both flooring materials are reflective acoustically. Plan your other surfaces accordingly, or you'll drive yourself batty with echoes.

Hi, you have a lovely home! I read through your thread, and I like Dar Eckarts suggestion above the best. I think because of the symmetry of it as an H shaped house is symmetrical, and it would also keep the space looking decorated but still open and uncluttered which is what an entrance should be. Sorry, but I don't care for the bookcase idea in an entrance. I also noticed the masks you have, and think it would be great to decorate the space using them as inspiration. Here is a photo to show you the kind of rug I think would work here.

Thanks a mil! That's the thing about new colour. It does take some getting used to. However I had my babies room, a spare room and the inside of my front door painted at the same time last week and love all of the colours chosen but this one I just can't look at. It turned out to be more of a minty green than the colour samples on the wall. One of the fabrics below are being make up in a footstool and I think it may be overkill with too much colour. I wanted the coushions and footstool to pop as those are the things you spend the most amount of money on rather than the paint. In saying that. The cost of the paint was expensive and also paying someone to do it. Now to do it all over again is not ideal.:(. i took the cushions and fabric into one of my other rooms to see what it looked like against a more neutral background and felt it looked a little better. See pics below. Any other paint suggestions are much appreciated.
