In our exciting era of function and style intersecting with innovation and art, it’s no surprise that the freestanding bath is making a comeback – in a big way. In fact, it’s increasingly being seen by those planning their new home or contemplating a bathroom renovation in Adelaide as the most obvious way to add a serious touch of luxury to that customary daily wash or soak.
The naysayers, however, will insist that while stand alone bathtubs may be perfect for that rare night in a 6-Star B&B, a normal fitted bath is the only sensible choice for day-to-day, functional, practical living. But is it really just a case of luxury versus function? To get the right answer for your circumstances, let’s be super-honest and calmly weigh up the pros and cons of freestanding big baths:

So, is a freestanding spa bath really a wild choice made solely on the basis of wanting 5-Star luxury at the expense of ‘sensible’ everyday practicality? Not quite, because:
1. They’re flexible
A ‘normal’, fitted or built-in tub needs to be tucked up against a wall, but you can plonk a small freestanding bath just about anywhere.
2. They’re distinct
Trust us: if you design a bathroom around a stand alone bath, it will make a bold and distinct statement about who you are. In other words, while a standard bath fits in like a washing machine in a laundry, a freestanding bath will always attract a second or third look and reflect your penchant for minimalism, modern art, a nostalgia for history and more.
3. The choice is endless
Have you seen the latest range of modern freestanding baths cheap enough to put in your bathroom? Forget all the different colours and designs and a plethora of materials from cast iron to stone and beyond – you can get stand alone bathtubs that seem more like a contemporary art sculpture than an everyday practical household feature.
