The trend of creating a spa-like feel in the master bathroom is here to stay, one of the easiest way’s to achieve this is with a great tub. Freestanding tubs are all the rage, ruling the cool factor in bathroom design. They are easy to install, double as sculpture and elevate the ordinary master bath to your own personal destination retreat. Here are our top ten freestanding tubs sure to get the inspirational wheels turning. 
Who’s going to use the tub? This is the most important question to ask before purchasing a fabulous tub for the master bath. Is it for one person or two? 
How much room do we have? Space dictates both the size and style of the tub. Storage requirements for bathing needs are also important. 
How do I want to feel? The material the tub is made out of dictates the feeling you’ll get while bathing in or viewing your tub. Freestanding tubs offer an element of style and luxury to the modern bathroom.
Price is a big myth. A $1,000 built-in tub may look like a steal when compared to a $5,000 freestanding tub, but this can be an illusion. It is easy to forget about the labor and added costs of materials for a built-in tub until the contractor’s bill arrives. The granite, marble or quartz top, decorative tile on the sides and as a backsplash can easily transport that $1,000 built-in into the stratosphere. 
In the case of the freestanding tub shown here this is the most expensive: a freestanding built-in tiles all the way around.
Freestanding bathtubs create an immediate sense of luxury. Interior luxury is defined by space or at least the illusion of space. A freestanding tub floats within its surroundings and is not confined by walls. One can’t help but feel decadent in the presence of a freestanding tub.
