These tones can be further enhanced to achieve the exact colour required for any style. One of the main benefits of a copper bath over other baths is it’s environmental credentials.

Modern architectural designs often favour living spaces over functional rooms such as bathrooms. For this reason small bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular. These bathrooms are often designed without a bath, as they are seen as taking up too much space. But this is not always the case. Designed correctly a well chosen bath can take up a very small space in a bathroom. In some situations they can also take the form of the shower. This small bathroom shows how a bath can be included in a small bathroom design. This bathroom is a long narrow space. The bath, placed at the end of the room is the central focus point for the bathroom. It is a very compact bath, taking up very little space. Having a small bathroom should never be a restriction to having the bathroom you desire.

For decades bath designs consisted of white ceramic coated baths. These were generally built into the design of the bathroom. In more recent times there has been a renewed interest in older ways of bath manufacturing, not only the styles, but the materials. Plain white baths have made way for colonial claw foot baths, stone baths, copper baths and a new material, nickel. This is an example of a nickel bath presented in a traditional double slipper style. This nickel bath made by UK Architectural Antiques has been hand beaten and expertly shaped to create the unique finish. The stunning shiny surface reflects the surrounding elements of the bathroom.

A bath is often the feature item in a bathroom, as the room named after this item. Why not make a statement with a unique and original bath. It can not only be a functional item in the room, but also make a powerful design statement. When choosing a bath consider the size, style and design of the room. There are so many types, styles and materials to choose from. Try a different material such as copper or nickel, or a different colour to bring a different dimension to your bathroom design.
