OXO Bathrooms: To soak or not to soak…that is the question…

Whether you love a long, hot soak or prefer a steamy shower, there is no denying the appeal of baths these days as homes are turned into private sanctuaries and bathrooms into mini pockets of luxury.

Along with double walk-in showers with steam functions, designer finishes, built-in seating and pretty niches, freestanding soaker tubs are gaining popularity as a must-have item in modern bathrooms to help weary minds and bodies relax and rewind.

“With freestanding bathtubs now taking centre stage, designers are turning toward deep soaking bathtubs that offer the spa-like experience of a steaming deepwater bath. Dramatic in design, these offer an imposing look in a bathroom and a flawlessly comfortable bath,” says the team at Oxo, a specialist luxury bathroom and sanitaryware stockist.

“After all, it’s only right that your bathroom is a sanctuary befitting of all your needs and requirements.”

While some may point out that these baths require more water and electricity (not to mention square footage) and can be costly to purchase and use, we believe the benefits of a hot bath (including better sleep and reduced stress levels) far outweigh the cons.

Luckily, the knowledgeable team at OXO can help customers turn their bathroom into a private watery oasis.

Redere

“Our elegant baths are designed for optimal comfort and satisfaction,’ notes the company, which stocks a wide range of imported and local freestanding tubs.

Our favourite for creating a subversive experience at home include their slim-rimmed Redere Petite bath or smaller spaces, the organic Lusso freestanding tub – a huge stone tub with generous proportions – the pretty Grassetto Bath and the oval-shaped Sienna bath that offers a luxurious, double-ended soak.
