Clawfoot

To honour the home’s 1895 roots, Staci wanted a clawfoot tub. “I looked into sourcing a vintage bathtub and having it refinished,” says the designer, “but aside from the fact that it’s costly, I didn’t like the idea of using someone else’s tub.” The new acrylic look-alike offers the best of both worlds.

Modern and sculptural

The rectangular shape of this tub matches the modern aesthetic of the room.

Timeless and chic

The inside of the original clawfoot tub was re-enamelled and its outside painted black. “The bathtub is really beautiful,” says homeowner Jane Wood. “It’s six feet long but quite narrow, and apparently it’s a style that’s hard to find now.”

Reflective surface

The sleek reflective finish on the exterior of the shapely free-standing bathtub multiplies the vintage character and subdued drama of the wow-worthy flooring. The designer chose streamlined polished chrome hardware to continue the mirrored theme.

Contemporary look

Zen and minimalist

In the master bath, the inviting soaker tub sits underneath the window, so it feels like “you’re up in the trees,” says Muriel. The minimal, defined lines of the vanity and bathtub enhance the soothing Zen feel.

Sleek and edgy

Combined with a graphic Roman shade and modern sconces in black, white and brass tones, the room now feels open, sleek and a little edgy.

Country style

The bathtub, with its quartz trim and panelled surround, fits perfectly under the sloped ceiling of the master ensuite.

Saving space

To give the new glass-enclosed shower stall a few extra inches, designer Stacy Begg angled the bath- tub. The free-standing tub, which replaced a clunky built-in version, is nice and deep, but looks sleek thanks to the negative space around it.
