We are taking out a cast iron clawfoot bathtub because we never use it

last month

We will have lots of room once we remove the tub and I want to give the bath more of a spa-like feel. I was thinking of a bench to sit and dry off on, with maybe some storage beneath it for towels, etc. but there will be more room to add things, looking for ideas.

How large is the tub please? Most are five-footers, but if yours is larger it is more rare.

Yes, the tub is about 5 feet long, the total space is 7' long by about 3.5' wide.

Do you have all of the storage you need in your bathroom? Is there any use in builting a linen closet or adding a tower of cabinetry? Remember, you don't have to fill every square foot of space in a room. Negative space is wonderful.

Is your home an older one? I'm presuming so because you have a clawfoot. A chaise lounge is similarly sized as a claw foot tub and can look great in a bathroom.

Please post a picture of your space, your style, the finishes in the room. It will help us make suggestions.
