A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bath for Your Bathroom

A bath is more than just a functional element in your bathroom—it’s a centrepiece that can define the entire space. Whether you're designing a new bathroom or upgrading your existing one, selecting the right bath is essential for both aesthetics and practicality. With so many options available, it’s important to find one that suits your space, lifestyle, and design preferences. Here’s your guide to making the best choice.


Step 1: Consider Your Space

Before choosing a bath, assess your bathroom layout and available space. Measure carefully and consider how much room you have for a bath without making the area feel cramped. Larger bathrooms can accommodate freestanding or back-to-wall baths, while compact spaces may benefit from an inset or shower bath.


Step 2: Choose Your Bath Style

Freestanding Baths: A Statement of Luxury

Freestanding baths are the ultimate indulgence, instantly creating a spa-like atmosphere. Perfect for larger spaces, they allow for flexibility in placement and serve as a stunning focal point. Available in sleek modern designs or classic clawfoot styles, freestanding baths elevate any bathroom aesthetic. However, they require more space and may need freestanding tapware.

Back-to-Wall & Corner Baths: The Best of Both Worlds

Want the freestanding bath look but short on space? A back-to-wall bath or corner bath is the perfect solution. Designed to sit flush against the wall while maintaining a contemporary, freestanding aesthetic, these baths offer luxury without sacrificing practicality. Plus, they’re easier to clean, with no awkward gaps behind them.

Drop-in Baths: A Seamless & Space-Saving Solution

If you have a compact bathroom or want a more integrated look, an inset bath is an excellent choice. These baths are built into a tiled surround, creating a seamless design. They’re perfect for both contemporary and traditional spaces and work well with a shower-over-bath setup, making them ideal for family bathrooms. Plus, inset baths retain heat well, keeping your bath warmer for longer.

Shower Baths: A Practical Choice for Small Spaces

For those who need the convenience of both a bath and a shower but don’t have space for separate installations, a shower bath is a smart choice. These baths feature a wider end to provide a comfortable showering area while still offering the luxury of a relaxing soak. They are perfect for smaller bathrooms or households with limited space.

Step 3: Think About Practicality

When choosing a bath, consider your lifestyle and daily routine. Ask yourself:

  • Who will be using the bath? Families may prefer a shower bath, while those seeking relaxation might opt for a freestanding or back-to-wall design.
  • How easy is it to clean? Back-to-wall and inset baths require less maintenance compared to traditional freestanding baths.
  • Does it match your style? Your bath should complement the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.
