Today's bathtub of choice is the freestanding bathtub style. Once upon a time, all bathtubs were free standing. Freestanding tubs have their roots in antiquity and through the ages became known as the clawfoot tub. Not surprising, history has repeated once again to showcase new versions of this timeless classic.

Standing alone in bathrooms and style alike, the freestanding tub is the center of attention in your bathroom. Not attached to walls for support, the freestanding tub supports itself. Unencumbered by a surround of any sort, the freestanding tub design frees up space, giving an airy feel and look to your bathroom. This creates a spa‑like environment for soaking and relaxation.

Contemporary free standing tubs have evolved and are available in a large variety of sizes, shapes, styles, and materials including the popular clawfoot tub design. Free‑standing bathtubs with a very contemporary look may come with a cutting‑edge design without pedestals. With built in support, these tubs appear to sit directly on the floor. Other contemporary free‑standing designs rest on wooden cradles or iron frames.

Whether your bathroom design is contemporary, traditional or rustic, there is a freestanding bathtub style that takes your bathroom remodeling to breathtaking heights.

• The first thing to consider before installing a freestanding bathtub is space and size.
