Elegant, chic, unconventional wooden bathtubs

by Simona Ganea, posted in Bathtub, on May 6th, 2013

Wood is not a common material when it comes to bathtubs. In fact, until quite recently, even the thought of having a bathtub made of wood was not something people were familiar with. However, designers often think out of the box and this has led to numerous wonderful creations, wooden tubs being just one of them.

Match the wooden tub to the rest of your bathroom furniture for a cohesive décor

In order to protect the wood from water damage, a highly resistant varnish is used. This way the wood remains undamaged by the water and it also preserves its natural beauty, texture and color. Usually, each wooden bathtub is crafted individually and sometimes they are custom designed for each client. They are a very elegant option for those that want to have a more sophisticated-looking bathroom. Also, a wooden tub gives the room a more cozy and inviting feel.

Creative freestanding bathtub by Giopato & Coombes

by Simona Ganea, posted in Bathtub, on July 3rd, 2012

This beautiful bathtub is not creative and inventive because of its shape or design but because of the originality of the accessories and colors that complete it. The tub was designed by Cristiana Giopato and Christopher Coombes for Malmö.

The design of the bathtub is simple. It has an oval shape with smooth and delicate curves. The shape alone is not that innovative and would rather make this piece a classic. However, the simplicity of the design, the accessories, the colors and the fact that it’s a freestanding unit make it unique and give it a contemporary allure. The tub features natural ash legs used to create a contrast in terms of materials and styles. The combination is a typical Nordic element. The wooden legs are also available in red in case you would like to add a little color to your bathroom. Also, they are optional.
