Open shelving serves double duty: practical for storing towels while also lending an opportunity to display some pretty pieces. The luxe factor is upped with a waterfall bath tap.

Cast iron baths are extremely durable and fabulous to the touch. As iron is a wonderful heat conductor, these baths keep the water temperature warm for much longer than an acrylic bath. Before falling in love, though, check your floor is able to take the 125kg that an average 1700mm double-ended roll-top cast iron bath weighs.

If there’s an opportunity to inset your bath beneath a window – grab it! The filtered light of opaque glass casts a lovely glow to take a long, luxurious soak in.

A freestanding bath can still work if a shower needs to be accommodated. While these look fantastic, incorporating them into a wet room is the best practical solution.

With their architectural good looks, there’s no denying freestanding baths are style-making statement pieces.
