Where to Place the Bathtub – 3 Functional and Stylish Layouts
Whether remodeling an existing space, creating an extension, or a new en-suite, carefully planning the layout of a bathroom can transform the space into a functional, stunning, well-designed wellness area that helps turn daily routine into a relaxing ritual.
Create a feel-good spa sense in the bathroom by evoking a feeling of space and luxury. The bathtub is seen as the key design piece of every luxury bathroom. The floor plan should be planned around it to maximize every available inch. Start by choosing a bath that makes a statement while being in harmony with the overall aesthetic at the same time.
“We’ve put together some of our pointers for choosing a layout that reflects and enhances the true essence of what a blissful bathtime could look like for you.” Lee Frost, Director, Waters Baths of Ashbourne
The Master Bathroom
Placing a freestanding bath near the window creates a stunning focal point when you enter the room; allowing the view to continue outdoors, thus visually enlarging the interior space and creating an ever-changing, nature-laden tableau to enjoy from the tub.
The Bijoux Bathroom
In the small bathroom, utilizing an empty corner will free up the central floor space, thus giving the illusion of a larger room. Building in multiple functions that take up a minimum space – like a shower bath – is a great choice for a smaller space, a guest ensuite, or when you only have one bathroom but want the luxury of choice. For instance, the Ebb shower bath delivers the comfort and curves of a freestanding bath in one space-efficient corner-hugging design.
Hotel Chic En-Suite
Create your staycation by bringing the style of a boutique hotel to your home. Placing a freestanding tub in the master suite creates a trendy hotel room look. Having a bathtub in the bedroom oozes opulence, so opt for a sleek, stylish piece with lasting great looks that will complement every bedroom scheme.

How to Choose Tiles for a Small Bathroom
Hyperion Tiles brings you expert tips on how to make a small bathroom look more spacious with tiles.
- Choose light-colored tiles to make your bathroom feel brighter and more open.
- Use large format tiles to give the illusion of more space by reducing the grout lines.
- Place the same tiles on the floors and walls to create a more cohesive look, which will make the space feel larger.
- Consider a glossy finish, which will reflect the light and make the space feel larger and lighter.
- Pick diagonal patterns because these will create the illusion of more depth in your bathroom.
- Use accent tiles sparingly – too many can make the room feel cluttered.
