The focal point of any bathroom, no matter how sybaritic or simple, is the bathtub. Here, ten that make a stylish splash.

Few things are more pleasurable or soothing than a long, hot soak, especially during winter’s chilly months. An inviting tub can transform any bathroom into a private sanctuary. But always keep in mind what style, shape, and materials will work best in your home. Boxy, minimalist designs can make the most of smaller spaces, while claw-foot models and large freestanding tubs require more spacious surroundings. Porcelain models conjure a classic look, but for modern flair, there are elegant versions available in resin or concrete.

It’s as if these bathtub designers had poetry in mind when they compiled these designs. Each tub seems pure metaphor. Lying in them, enjoying their hydrotherapeutic essence, will feel like Calgone has taken you away.

This glorious sunken bathing round with a built-in foot massage, known as the Shore Tub, is the result of a creative collaboration of the HeyTeam Collective and Teuco.

This KOI BATHTUB carp is a recurring symbol of Japanese culture, highly appreciated by its decorative purposes, not only in water gardens but also in Irezumi practice or, most commonly, in tattoos. Its natural color mutations reveal their capacity to adapt, just like our KOI bathtub fits in your bathroom. KOI and the Japanese word for love or affection are homophones, making the carp also a symbol of love and friendship.

The design possibilities for faucets for modern tubs are virtually endless. Choose filler finishes that accentuate the neutral color palettes of your modern bathroom, such as black or brushed nickel. As most modern bathtubs are freestanding, floor or wall mount faucets will be necessary. If you are looking for an even more upscale feel for your modern bathroom, consider concrete tubs. These are all custom-made to your specifications for shape, size and space.

Concrete tubs may be cast in a factory or in your home, which allows for shapes or sizes that would not fit through the average door. Topical sealers are applied to make the concrete tubs completely waterproof. Also, if battleship gray is not your ideal color, concrete can be stained or tinted as you desire. Be sure to work with a contractor and plumber who are familiar with concrete tubs to ensure proper installation.
