Bathroom Trends: Big Bathtubs with Bigger Personalities
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

Ah, the long soak. Nothing beats a "Calgon, take me away!" moment after a tough day. Your tub can be a sanctuary within the sanctuary of your bathroom. Some of them have such beautiful shapes they stand on their own. Others are surrounded by stone, wood, marble, and other finishes. Here are some of the most beautiful tubs on Houzz:

Beautiful simplicity does not get any more simple than this, and it works. The stool can be used to place the items you'll need, and there will be a heated towel waiting for you on the rack when you're ready to get out.

| This rectangular tub blends in with the counter and the floor, allowing the view and the accent wall behind it to take center stage. I do hope the end we can't see has a slant for those Calgon moments. |

| The skylight shining on the white interior of the tub gives it a glow, and it calls to you like a siren, saying "come in for a soak, come in for a soak..." |

This bathroom is a fun play of geometry. The squares and rectangles of the wall and floor tile allows the tub's dangerous curves to stand out.

This cantilevered stand gives this tub a ledge. Otherwise, you'd have to reach too far for your bubble bath, glass of wine and trashy tub reading.

| This round tub is so friendly that it's invited its friends the Panton chairs over for dinner. Other than that, I'm having a little trouble figuring out what's happening here. |

| Wait, I stand corrected: THIS is the biggest bathtub we've seen since William Howard Taft was in office. For those of you who didn't grow up in Cincinnati with field trips to the Taft Museum every year, Google it – I'm off for a long soak! |
