Freestanding tubs have evolved well beyond the cast iron clawfoot behemoths of the 19th century. New models are made out of a variety of materials, including acrylic, fiberglass, enameled steel, resin, copper, glass, cast polymer, stone, ceramic and wood. Typically in the past, most tubs were white and oval, but now they are available in many different colors and shapes, as you will see in our curated gallery of primary bathrooms with freestanding tubs.

The contemporary primary bathroom features tile flooring, a floating vanity with vessel sinks, and a transparent freestanding tub designed with an ergonomic body mold inside the frame. Transparent tubs are usually made of resin or glass, such as the Reflex by Antonio Lupi’s AL Studio, which is manually poured into a mold, using Cristalmood, a colored resin developed by the Italian company. Each iteration is unique and as much as 30% lighter than similar objects made with solid surface materials.
