When does a style become a trend? When it is so decadent it’s too good to resist! In the last few years we have seen the trend of stunning feature–baths move from the bathroom, via the bedroom to the great outdoors.
As a bathroom specialist we enjoy seeing our hand-finished bath tubs in some spectacular settings. Here’s just a few of them.

Who wouldn’t want to bathe in front of the fire?

Back in the days before we had the luxury of indoor bathrooms and central heating, it was not unusual to see a tin bath placed in front of the fire. In those days it was a practical necessity and a real treat for the family to feel clean, once a week.

Move forward 100 years and we mirror the experience in period homes and boutique hotels, not out of necessity, but out of the sheer luxury. Far nicer to have a toasty hot bath in front of a roaring fire with a view out of a large picture window, than cramped in a small bathroom with a view of the toilet.

We all want bathing to be a glorious luxurious experience. So when it comes to designing a luxury bathroom a stylish bath is going to always be a focal point. Choosing the right bath is important. Consider it an investment in your health and well-being.

In this article we point out the advantages and disadvantages of some of the more common bath shapes.

There is something so gorgeously self indulgent about outdoor bathing. Seriously, what can compare to slipping into a beautifully fragranced cast iron bathtub on a warm evening, while a cool gentle breeze laps your wet skin and nature chirps and rustles around you?

Our customer Gillian Harmer sent us this photo of our Marseille Cyprium Copper Bath in her bedroom.  I thought we would post it on our blog this month as we are looking at the idea of putting baths in bedrooms.

"My bath has made my bathroom a space of sheer delight.  Bathing is now unadulterated luxury."
