Sink into the depths of a free-standing tub JACQUELINE LOUIE FOR THE CALGARY HERALD “It’s the look. It’s the very first reason why people pick it,” says interior designer Bridgett Jessop of Debutante Design, a Calgarybased boutique interior design firm that works with several new home builders. “A free-standing tub has an elegance to it. It has that spa feel, that fancy hotel feel. It has a little bit of personality. It can help set the tone or style for your space, based on the shape or colour of your tub. A free-standing bathtub will add a little bit of a feminine flair to an ensuite. It’s usually curvy, which nicely offsets the straight lines of the tile and the architecture of your bathroom.” Adds designer Alykhan Velji, principal of Alykhan Velji Design: “What you’re seeing a lot more now are free-standing bathtubs that are beautiful art pieces in themselves. The shape is very organic and fluid. They’re more rounded or

oval — you’re not seeing large square tubs any more. “With a free-standing tub, you have a lot of different options for your faucets and tub fillers. They can come through the wall or floor, creating a beautiful esthetic in a bathroom, and making it a little more sculptural.” Having a free-standing tub not only creates a lot of visual space in a bathroom, it means you can often fit a tub bigger than a built-in into the same space. “From a practical standpoint, you’re getting more bathtub in the same footprint,” Jessop says. On the functional side, a free-standing tub is easier to clean than a standard built-in tub, she notes, because “you’re not dealing with a whole bunch of grout lines. You’re wiping inside and outside of the surface.” And if there is ever a maintenance problem, trouble spots are more easily accessed when you have a freestanding tub.
