The rectangular bathtub, embedded in a corner of the room, is now an outdated solution. New trends are increasingly seeing a new conception of this furnishing element: the free-standing bathtub. The possible alternatives are really many and the aesthetic component has acquired more and more importance, so as to make the bathtub a variable of great impact in the design of the bathroom.
Free-standing bathtub: what it is
But let’s start from the basics: what is the free-standing bathtub? It is a particular type of bathtub, designed to be installed in the center of the room or in any case not recessed in a corner. They are objects designed to characterize the environment in which they are positioned: the particularly scenographic shapes and dimensions make this type of bathtub perfect to be installed even in environments other than the bathroom, such as bedrooms or even the living area.
How to transform the room into an oasis of well-being and relaxation
The contraction of spaces in modern apartments often shifts the choice to a more practical and compact shower than the more bulky bathtub. Giving up the bathtub, however, means losing the possibility of having a room in the home dedicated to relaxation and well-being, a role that over the years has been increasingly entrusted to the bathroom which is now far from being considered only as a service environment.
The free-standing tubs, thanks to their aesthetics, allow you to make the room a real oasis of well-being, be it a bathroom or a bedroom. There are also smaller dimensions, therefore suitable for more reasonable spaces.
Freestanding bathtub installation
One of the main factors to consider if you opt for the free-standing bathtub is its installation. When choosing this solution for bathroom furnishings, it is necessary to consider the work necessary to bring the pipes and the drains to the position of the room where you want to install the bathtub. An inconvenience to be taken into account for those who would like to replace the old bathtub, but not for those who are renovating or planning a new bathroom.
The free-standing tubs of Ceramica Flaminia
Ceramica Flaminia offers different types of high-design free-standing bathtub, designed to give elegance to the environment. If you have ample space to devote to this complement, the Leggera bathtub, with its particular shape, is ideal for a unique environment. Instead, the IO line includes three models for three different installations, all with a perfect fusion of curved and square shapes designed to relax. Or again, if you don’t want to give up on the shower, Flaminia proposes Fontana, a round bathtub that combined with a curtain can become an elegant shower. If you prefer more rigorous shapes, the Wash tub and the Oval are ideal for any type of environment.
