Freestanding Baths

Truth be told baths have become a thing of the past for me since having kids. It would probably be a different story if I had my own (preferably in our ensuite) but in our last few homes, new build included, the one bath has been taken over by the kids. If I did have the luxury of choosing one, not to mention a bit more time on my hands to enjoy a relaxing soak every now and again, these free standing baths would provide the perfect inspiration.

While I'm not so sure about cleaning behind a free-standing bath, I love their simple lines and elegant aesthetic, especially when teamed with black, white and wood.

When it comes to bathrooms I can't resist the look of marble. Tiles, flooring, black or white, it provides the perfect textural backdrop to a freestanding bath, as shown in the ensuite below.

The marble slab underneath the bath above is exquisite. Although the clawfoot bath wouldn't be my first choice, I have to say this next one looks rather inviting.

Of course there are a few little luxuries that go hand in hand with relaxing baths. Some recent discoveries that I highly recommend are the Aesop Coriander Seed Body Cleanser, any of the Signature Candles from Lumira and these beautiful Mediterranean Bath Sheets.
