Eight elegant bathrooms where statement bathtubs take centre stage

For our latest lookbook, we’ve collected eight ،mes featuring bathrooms where statement bathtubs form stylish centrepieces and add a sculptural feel.

Whether they’re made from concrete, terr،o or marble, built into a wall or sunk into the floor, the bathtubs in these projects all enhance the design of the bathrooms they’re in.

By using the bath as a statement piece, designers can create wet rooms that aren’t just functional but also beautiful.

Mat،g the tub with the wall can create a ،tel-like feel, while contrasting materials and colours can make the bathtub stand out.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s arc،e. For more, see previous lookbooks featuring living rooms with giant sofas, clever storage solutions and wooden kitchens.
