Tips for choosing the right faucet for your contemporary freestanding tub

Freestanding tubs are here to stay in the interior design world, and they’re expanding to fit a variety of style aesthetics. First the clawfoot tubs paved the way for freestanding basins and now contemporary tubs are becoming popular as well. They are available in multiple styles, from round to square units. Once you have settled on the right one for your room, be sure you have faucets to match. Here are a few faucet styles to consider for your contemporary bathroom:

Wall-mounted
If your tub is positioned near the perimeter of the bathroom you can select a wall-mounted faucet. They are available in a variety of styles, from smooth, sloped models with an understated knob to fixtures with an intricate geometric silhouette.

Roman tub filler
Roman tub fillers are unique and a great choice for contemporary bathrooms. They provide a waterfall effect for your tub. This creates the ultimate lounging experience for you. Once this faucet is installed in your bathroom, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy a relaxing soak while listening to the waterfall-like sounds.

Bar faucet
Bar faucets are another great option for the bathroom. They mimic kitchen fixtures with their tall spouts. This is a smart selection for contemporary freestanding bathtubs, as the faucet creates a focal point in the room. These fixtures are floor-mounted and look sleek and streamlined. They bring a minimalist piece of decor into the room. Some also have handheld shower heads for the complete bathing experience.

Rain shower head
If you have a contemporary bathtub, you might want a standalone shower. To continue the modern aesthetic, opt for a rain shower head. It’s a simple overhead faucet that delivers a gentle downpour of water for a spa-like feel.
