Modern bathtubs that take your breath away

A bathtub should not only be durable and comfortable to use, but it should also capture our imagination. This is the main trend of the new season. Unusual shapes, colors and materials define the design of the bath in 2020-2021, making it the visual center of the interior. The number of other furnishings is trying to minimize, freeing up space for light and air.

Let’s get acquainted with the most relevant trends on specific examples.

The course to nature

Designers continue to support the eco-trend, suggesting to abandon synthetic materials in favor of natural ones. They got to the bathtub, which instead of cast iron or acrylic is recommended to be made of natural wood.

Indeed, there are species such as larch, teak, cedar, mahogany or wenge, which effectively resist the action of water, especially with proper treatment and protection.

A wooden bathtub has both undoubted advantages and disadvantages, the main of which is the high price. But bathing in a wooden bowl will give not only pleasant sensations, but also health. And how luxurious it looks in the interior, you can see in the following photos:

Multifunctional supports

Gone are the days of clumsy cast iron and steel bathtubs on flimsy «legs». Freestanding font has been preferred to built-in models for several years, and manufacturers are working tirelessly to improve the support under them.

A new trend is multifunctional stands-table tops that can be used to store cosmetics, grooming products or beautiful accessories. Another trend is bathtubs with shelves. For example, for books. Indeed, few people will deny themselves the pleasure of reading while bathing.

A new reading of the classics

Bathtub of modern design will look ridiculous in a classic interior? It’s time to discard these prejudices. Today is relevant play on contrasts, and therefore the font laconic minimalist form will not be difficult to fit into a refined environment of Empire or Baroque style.

Moreover, such a «combination of the incompatible» will look fresh and bright. Still have doubts? Then let’s take a look at these photos:

Hymn to concrete

The emergence of decorative concrete with water-repellent properties has greatly expanded the possibilities of designers. They began to design unique interiors of bathrooms, where everything — from walls and floors to furniture and sanitary ware is made of a single material.

Many will doubt the comfort of a font made of concrete and completely in vain. With modern methods of processing and finishing, this material is not inferior to traditional steel or cast iron. But what original ideas can be realized with its help (see photo):

Futuristic shapes

In the coming season, unusual shapes are welcomed, demonstrating the expanded possibilities of modern materials, especially acrylic.

Doesn’t it seem that the bathtubs, in the photo below, came to us from the future? They ruthlessly destroy our ideas about what should be sanitary ware for bathing. Nevertheless, these bowls are as comfortable as they are unusual:

Blacks are stepping up and winning

Who says a bathtub has to be white? This year the bet is on black models, and not only with glossy, but also with a matte surface.

However, for the beautiful half of humanity is provided a colorful alternative, for example, coral-red or pink baths, as in the following photos:

Bathtub in the floor

Such placement allows you to create an extraordinary interior. Lowering the bathtub below the floor level, we make a kind of mini-pool, where it is especially pleasant to take water procedures.

An important nuance: the bathtub can not be equipped in typical high-rise buildings, because the neighbors below are unlikely to like the reduction in the height of their apartment. And when building a podium, the load on the ceiling will increase significantly.

We have only briefly touched on the main trends in the design of the bath in 2020-2021. The range of decorative solutions is much wider and every year we are offered more and more new models of sanitary ware. So it will not be difficult at all to realize your creative ambitions when renovating your home.
