When you think of bathtubs, the standard rectangular basin likely comes to mind. But what if your bathtub could be an artistic statement, a luxurious retreat, or even a conversation starter? Around the world, designers and homeowners have reimagined this everyday fixture, turning it into something truly extraordinary. In this article, we’ll take you on a tour of ten of the most amazing and unusual bathtubs, each one a masterpiece in its own right. From tubs carved out of single pieces of stone to ones that seem to defy gravity, these creations push the boundaries of comfort, design, and imagination. Get ready to dive into a world where bathing is an experience like no other!
Bathtub made to look like a shoe
While it doesn’t look even half as tasty as the ones in my post “Top 10 Edible High Heel Shoes” it does have a certain style of class to it and a shape that I am sure many women (and some men) out there would love to bathe in.
Yin Yang Bathtub
The idea of having a bath with a loved one is often just a dream because in reality, the size of the average bathtub means someone is going to have to have the taps digging into their backs! So why not get a bathtub that has 2 separate parts so you can both stretch out and enjoy it! This way there is no wandering hands while looking for the soap as well.
Shower Bath
To me having a shower bath is running the shower with the plug-in, but this takes the bath/shower idea to a new level of design. I don’t know if that sea view is real, but who cares when you could be relaxing in this tub, with a glass of wine in one hand and your smartphone far out of reach. Ahh, I can feel my body starting to relax already.
Glass Bathtub
If you are after a clean and very modern looking bathtub a glass one is a way to go. This one has a ’tilt-up ‘backrest and TV built into the wall. I reckon I could spend hours on end in this tub.
Carbon Fiber Bathtub
There is just something about carbon fibre that makes everything look so amazing. You could make anything out of the stuff and it would look cool and none more so that this stunning bathtub. I don’t know if I want to bathe in it or put it on display and invite people around to look at it!
Space Saving Bathtub
If like me you have hardly any room for bathroom furniture this might be the answer for both of us. This simple and creative design could be done to almost any bathtub and would save loads of room. Just as long as the items inside remain dry.
Tonight you not only sleep with the fishes on the bed seen in my post “Top 10 Unusual Aquariums Inside furniture” but now you can also bath with them as well. But I’m not sure I could undress with all those fishies judging me.
Bathtub made from wood
Looking much like the perfect bathtub to watch a Pirates of the Caribbean film in, this solid wooden bathtub located in the bedroom rather than the bathroom!
Bathtub made to look like a Hammock
Nothing says relaxing like a hammock and this bathtub made with a single moulded sheet of carbon fibre is one of the most relaxing tubs I have ever seen. The only thing I am not so sure about is if my rubber duck would like it.
Bathtub made of Quartz
OK, so it probably costs more than a small family car and weighs much the same as well, but this bathtub made from a single chunk of Quartz looks simply amazing. Not the ideal bathtub for a semi-detached house like the one I live in, but I still love it!
As you’ve seen, bathtubs can be so much more than just a place to wash away the day’s stress. They can be artistic expressions, luxurious escapes, and even marvels of engineering. Whether you’re inspired to upgrade your own bathroom or simply amazed by the creativity and craftsmanship involved, these ten extraordinary bathtubs showcase the endless possibilities when function meets innovation.
