Bathroom Design Ideas for Clawfoot Bathtubs

One of the greatest advantages of choosing a clawfoot bathtub is that they are versatile enough to fit into a variety of decors. From vintage to modern spacious bath areas, a clawfoot tub can make any bathroom a place for someone to feel pampered and indulge in a nice hot bath.

A clawfoot tub takes up less space than an installed, full-size tub, so a new clawfoot tub can now fit into spaces only previously imagined. The clawfoot tub fits into alcoves and even the smallest bathrooms, and you can even add a shower conversion and double the utility.

The clawfoot tub also offers options on faucet mounts. Try a tub filler like the Bel Air Deck Mount Faucet, which is designed for clawfoot tubs and offers a telephone cradle hand shower. Available from Kingston Brass in four beautiful finishes. This faucet is designed to fit on top of the lip of the clawfoot tub, so it can be installed on the side rather than the end, making it easier to access and adding an extra note of opulence to the surrounding decor. For an alcove, try the option of a wall-mount faucet, great for small spaces and houses without floor access to water pipes.

Whether the bath is decorated in contemporary or traditional tones, today’s clawfoot tub designs and features can quickly become a favorite getaway. In a standard-size bathroom that can accommodate a shower and bath area, a clawfoot tub is available in traditional single-slipper designs like the Aqua Eden Cast Iron Single Slipper Clawfoot Tub with elegant slopes and curves, and also with more modern flair in tubs like the Aqua Eden Acrylic Double Ended Tub, as well as a clean, modular design.

For large bath areas, the clawfoot tub can be the centerpiece of any bathroom — literally! Tubs placed in the center of the room rather than against a wall can use floor access for water and allow the full beauty of a clawfoot bathtub to show from every side. A double-slipper clawfoot tub in the center of the bathroom will be the picture of elegance with some gratifying glam to boot. Or, float the tub under a window and the entire room will feel light and airy.

Clawfoot bathtub shelves and soap baskets keep everything handy during bath time and are available in a variety of finishes and styles to match the tub. The polished brass clawfoot bathtub shelf adjusts from 26 to 33 inches in length, so it easily adapts to any width tub. Rubber grip ends protect the tub finish and hold the shelf in place.
