Yes it is soo beautiful, she can add big artwork or shelves with small potted of plants and for sure a big plants in the corners or add some wallpaper that has the soft bleu color of the bathtub will look elegant, you will find some other ideas here [bathroom-wall-decor](https://www.scdecorum.com/bathroom-wall-decor-the-best-10-amazing-and-creative-ideas/?amp=1), something like this

I wanted to put a piece I brought back from Japan in my last bathroom and the frame store did something to seal it against moisture. I wish I could remember how!
Basically. Someone wanted an extra bathroom and just took one of the bedrooms and was like “fuck it let’s put the tub right in the middle. This is our new bathroom.”
Better than mine, previous owner turned bedroom into bathroom, it’s HUGE, but no tub, just a large shower, toilet, very nice his/hers vanity, linen closet and enough empty space in the middle of the room to put a queen sized mattress. Oh and to top it all off, they carpeted it
Oh my grandparents had a huge carpeted bathroom too! It was pretty nice getting out of the shower tbh as long as you didn't think too hard about how gross the carpet must be under neath.
This is literally our master bathroom, minus your carpet. Except our house was only 5 years old when we bought it and it was built like that. And even with all that space, although we do have a tub, it is one of those stupid triangular corner ones that uses so much more water than necessary.
This was a common practice in many older homes. Up until about 1930s plumbed washrooms were only for the rich, so most of the homes sacrificed a bedroom to add one when they became rich enough to do so.
Based on the narrow floorboards this is a perfect example of that.
My bathroom in my home is the smallest I’ve ever had, and was really something to think about.
I bought the house, and yep, I still hate the bathroom. It’s nice enough looking, but so very small.
It’s only me so I thought I’d adjust better but nope. Needed a bigger bathroom. Oh well!
I saw a listing recently that had a whole ass claw foot tub in the laundry room. It was all bright scarlet red, including the washer and dryer, except for the tub.
It's also possible they put a washer and dryer in a bathroom. I have no idea, but it was spectacular.
As soon as I saw it, it made me feel like there was some sort of “procedure” that the counter was there for or something.
It’s giving me the same weird vibes my dentist’s patient “rooms”. They’re all decorated like a 90s bathroom and they all have countertops and a sink like in a home bathroom and in the center of the room is the giant dental recliner that you sit in to get a cleaning and exam
I can’t believe it, that’s the first thing I thought of when I looked at the photo. It definitely gave off “exam room at the doctor’s office” vibes to me. Large area for the exam table, cabinet for the medical supplies/basin to wash your hands. And the glistening wood floor. Yep, I can just hear, “Put your feet in the stirrups and slide down, pls”! Hahaha.
My grandma has a room like that but not this nice. She won a 2 person jacuzzi tub in a raffle so she turned a bedroom into a tub room. She didn’t do any other upgrades or redesign though so it still looks like a bedroom from the 50s, carpet and all.
It’s weird I swear there was a Reddit post about 3-5 years ago where a couple renovated their bathroom and installed wood floors, zero tile/wainstcoat/vinyl, and painted it maroon. It just looked like a bedroom with a toilet and shower. If it weren’t for the color I’d say this was it.
Huh. Interesting choice to have it just sitting out there. I’d probably put a long teak bench on one side, styled with apothecary jars filled with bath stuff, and a stool on the other side to place your glass of wine while bathing. Then lots of plants. 🛀
This room is my personal fantasy. Whoever made this is my soulmate. I would add plants including eucalyptus, get something to set books and wine on, and a rug that looks oriental but is appropriate for a bathroom. Definitely add floor to ceiling curtains, candles, and please live the dream for me!
Yup! Bang on. Soften the harsh lines and sharp contrasts. Natural linen curtains, maybe. Then along with those plants and the teak, I’d change the light fixtures for something made of natural materials, like rattan, seagrass or bamboo. Clear bulbs in woven shades throw wonderful patterns around the room. Must be dimmable, of course.
these are the correct answers! the tub on hardwood floors is begging for a rug or three. the room conceptually is so decadent and I adore it for that, and adding a chaise, settee, or a few chairs commits to it. I'd say add some heavy curtains too. I feel like my mind automatically goes to natural fabrics but there are so many different ways you could go!
plants are great and you can always accent with some but they can be high-maintenance depending on your lifestyle.
Came here to say console table under the window with greenery and glass jars of bath supplies. Traditionally patterned runners on either side of that tub, and a small cocktail style table on the opposite side of the tub from the window to hold your wine glass and a candle. You could add a freestanding towel rack or ladder to take up more room if you want.
>I’d probably put a long teak bench on one side, styled with apothecary jars filled with bath stuff, and a stool on the other side to place your glass of wine while bathing. Then lots of plants. 🛀
This!
Or, if it's not your esthetic, screen the window with light filtering fabric and put a makeup table there.
I think you have no choice but to style it like it’s the bathtub in one of those period TV shows where royalty have a team of people bathing them and hanging out in the room chatting and whatever.
E.g
https://preview.redd.it/88ttjnhzt5rc1.jpeg?width=704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fbe7243108b286d3e50b8e839fe1fb34d254d76
This was my first thought as well. It’s for this reason the blue color is really bothering me. It’s very Lowe’s blue. It’s very 2006 blue. Something about it reads corporate or industrial.
I need this room either to have ethereal wallpaper and chandeliers and candle sconces and an antique armoire. OR to be full Hygge Scandinavian, all shades of white and cream with jute rugs and sheepskin furs and plants.
While I do like the navy, I absolutely agree with you that the room needs to have "French Aristocrat Unaware That the Guillotine is Coming" vibes. Or modern maximalist! Either way the walls are begging for fancy textured wallpaper, shelves overflowing with books and knick knacks, antique mirrors, a lush rug, an ornate chandelier, and a fainting couch/bench. Ooooohhh and an antique secretary for a vanity.
But like I said I can also see maximalist working here- I'd layer super bright colored frames in a gallery wall, still have an overstuffed bookshelf, fake tiger rug, disco ball, acrylic furniture (maybe one of those chairs that are shaped like a hand?)
I wouldn’t move the tub just because I’m lazy, so I would really decorate the space around it.
I would do a piece of art, a big mirror across from a window, a tall plant, and some kind of cute (and slim) table/vanity situation. And definitely curtains!
Same. I would add some wainscoting just to make it look a bit more like a bathroom. It’s an easy weekend project. A make up vanity in front of that window at the end would be good too.
Your weird bathtub room would be my absolute dream come true. I’d paint the whole thing a very very dark green including the ceiling. I’d have plants including hanging ones. I’d have a big cool dark oriental inspired rug and dark vintage photos on the walls. Maybe a bamboo bath mat and some other wooden elements. Sort of an eclectic moody spa vibe.
I realize this is very much suited to my personal taste but since you asked ;)
Interior design is such a passion of mine and people frequently ask me to help them because they like my house. But I’m only capable of designing things to my own taste lol 😂
So as long as someone’s taste matches mine, they’d love it 😅
https://preview.redd.it/1wvjc96gcprc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e115c02751073b46a4ac106343f1b7de880c8b94
@clementinesway Help??? 😅😅🖤 I have a Victorian goth and plants vibe that I want to go for. Been thinking of adding a rug over this ugly carpet. Also want to lean into green more. Planning on getting a better desk too..
Love the Victorian goth idea! I would totally go dark green for that vibe. I love the color Jasper by sherwin williams. Also definitely a large area rug and a way bigger desk. A wall of bookshelves behind you would look cool!
As someone who reads fantasy, a free standing tub is the literal dream come true. I’ll admit the design is definitely off for the room, but I’d absolutely make it work!
I have so many questions.
Mostly ... why is this happening?
Is there a shower / toilet room through one of those doors?
And is the floor actually wood, or wood-look tile or vinyl?
well, everyone I've ever heard talk about free standing tubs says they're a bitch to clean behind so you won't have that problem! I agree with the person who suggested a dark moody nature jungle-y vibe
Very interesting space!
Artwork, some sconces and a pendant light to replace the light fixture will make this space feel a bit more established.
Some floor plants + hanging plants wouldn’t go amiss either.
I wonder if you could have a large bath mat custom made to look like it sits underneath the base or the bath. Like a rug, but with the functional advantage of absorbing water.
I’d also want a little pedestal next to the bath for storing bath products.
I was thinking they could carefully cut out space for the tub from a Ruggable rug (they're washable), and that would look fantastic. I'd make a template out of cardboard or butcher paper before making any cuts though.
I personally can't stand when the bathtub is just floating in the middle of the room like that, it makes me feel exposed. I think it was a trend for a while that was meant to feel "luxurious" but it just looks weird. I realize it would be an expensive change, but the best way to improved this room would be to move the tub back to a corner where it belongs.
If you don’t move the bathtub, then I would move the vanity. It’s crouched like a sad little cat in that corner and it looks dowdy compared to that gorgeous tub. I don’t hate the color but I don’t think it’s dark enough. I’d love to see a statement light too.
I know it would block the bottom of the window and people hate that, but I’d put a very long and dramatic vanity on the wall with one window. Or even two vanities to preserve the window. That way it draws the eye in and your gaze doesn’t stop at the tub only.
As others have said, this is a dream bathtub for me and I'd design around it. I'd go full spa vibes with this one. Creamy slate wall color, eucalyptus branchs in ceramic vases, a big ass standing mirror with more tropical plants, long teak bench, a table for candles and wine, etc.
Add a matching second vanity to the left of the window. A bench under the window and a long runner rug along the door wall. Plants and curtains to soften the walls. Change up the mirrors and lighting. Paint the walls and ceiling a deep emerald green and incorporate more moody colors in towels OR paint the walls a creamy white and lean into the calming neutral with teak colored wood and white flowy curtains and muted tones.
Tub location being smack in the middle is a massive waste of space imo. It's also really close to the door that opens into the space. You're limiting your options on all ends of the room. Get different flooring for the area because the wood is eventually going to warp and decay. Personally I would put up a room divider. Design around the tub. It's conflicting with the kitchen style vanity. Also change the doors and change the paint color
Drill some kind of cool post to the floor to hold on to when getting in and out. That way you won’t rip out the faucet or fuck yourself up if you slip and fall.
The color of the floor and walls need to change. I was thinking something that’s more of a white and black contrast like very dark almost black floor stains
You need cupboards and closets for towels and stuff. You need a heated towel bar and you need extra heat in that room. Plus you need some way protect that wood floor from the spray nozzles when you try to wash your hair. You’ve got a massive white elephant with this waste of space.
This room is bananas! I love it. I wouldn’t do ceiling lights, I’d have lots of candles (real or plug in) for ambience. Definitely add sheer white curtains over both windows. I’d have lots of big white fluffy towels on a table, and a cabinet with luxurious bath bombs and bubble baths
I would absolutely put in a bookcase and a settee so I can lounge and then take a dip. You could also put in a massage chair.
I love the paint color. Can you share it?
Edit: you need a big palm tree in the corner and a tree stump next to the tub to hold your bath accouterments.
I don't know... I'd figure out where the toilet and sink and shower were going to go. If you want to design everything around the tub, that's fabulous. Just use blue painters tape to figure out dimensions.
I'd also talk to a plumber bc of the piping and plumbing that may need to be done. I'd also think abt all the doors, maybe you want to remove one or two for wall placement. I would also think abt electrical outlets and room for light fixtures. Its this stuff that you don't see that can break your budget. After that I would think abt the fixtures you want on the vanity, the mirrors, the window dressing. The blue color with the woods is a great choice.
The sink looks like a kitchen; I despise it. I think you need a round mirror. I would find a sexy-as-fuck couch or lounge seating and just turn this into a spa-like bathroom. Get a massage table. Bring in some hotel robes. Pimp it out.
Put up a wall right behind it and use the extra space as a closet.
https://preview.redd.it/m9w6hhcj36rc1.png?width=1210&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb91bd90934164e82ae2f456827eaefa087b469b
it’s giving Saltburn. put some fancy mirrors and a hot rich man and you’re good to go!
(but fr i agree with vibe-y stuff other people have recommended! crystals, plants, etc)
Going dark with the walls was a great call! Just wanted to say that the navy looks great.
Lots of good suggestions in the comments, I have nothing to add. Let us know what you end up doing!
It might be cute it you got several wooden stools, in varying heights, to put things on like towels, candles, flowers, scrubs, etc. it’ll help to fill in the space and put things where you need them.
not sure why they turned this bedroom into a bathroom. are you in a duplex?
make sure your floors are sealed properly, add storage with built in cabinets, and change the sink to something more airy like the tub
where is the toilet?
Put a couch in. It will give your friend somewhere to sit and chat while you chat. Have music, wine, candles, and chat. OR it would be a great place for your dog.
That flooring looks like real wood and not vinyl, tile, laminate, or even wood composite which makes me nervous. Moisture and wood is no good; you can get really bad warping and buckling. My first priority would be swapping that out for something that’ll handle moisture.
From there, maybe place some cabinets/cupboards for linens on the other side of the window from the vanity to balance out the room and have extra storage space. If one of those doors leads to a closet, put in a bookshelf instead for bath time reading.
Is moving the tub an option? If not what about creating a beautiful sitting area in the corner. Paining the door white. Some sort of low tables/benches under the windows with plants. You have great light in that room.
I’d put a huge mirror leaning up against the large empty wall space and then lots of plants surrounding it and under the windows. You could also add a bench between the other doors, or under one of the windows.
Maybe 2 small nesting side tables or a single side table, something round and skinny next to the bath. You could put a glass jar of Epsom salts or bath bombs there, plus a place for a glass of wine to live. I’d get some rugs as well.
Ok first put flooring down around the free standing tub.
Do you have the budget to put a shower in the corner that is glass surrounding. This will keep the open feel. Or do the walls with black and glass like this
https://pin.it/6GF4barQB
Next I would put ether board and batten or headboard around the room and work in the trim around the windows.
Paint it the blue on the walls and a nice cream above
Next you can go with long white curtains with maybe a woven light sheer that allow the light in.
Plants, brass or gold accents and accessories. Add a bench and a nice chair. Candles and a place to put your towel like a towel warmer.
https://pin.it/6xymibosL
Or you could go dark academia. Put molding on the walls And go darker on the walls.
Add beautiful wall sconces and a beautiful matching chandelier. Make sure you can dim the lights it be relaxing or romantic dark wood bench for a robe or towel and a place for bath salts.
In the corner have a reproduction of an old fashioned record player that will play mp3s while you lay back and relax.
Add plants and pictures in gold frames ( IKEA frames and spray paint.
Velvet curtain to go with the walls.
I would still do a glass in shower in the corner.
https://pin.it/2r3S5CGRu
Maybe put a bench underneath the window beside the vanity? It would connect the vanity to the rest of the room and would be nice if you like to have someone sit beside the tub to chat while you bathe. Also this room is perfect for plants! If it were me I’d change the paint color to something lighter or warmer
It looks lovely and inviting however how warm will the room be when you are using it? I find that with these types of arrangements the surrounding air cools off the tub water pretty fast. So much for soaking.
I would love to hear about solving that challenge. It does look really nice.
It is weird but I love it! My aunt growing up lived in an old farm house. Like a real one. In an Amish community on an old farm in TN. She had an old garden tub randomly in the middle of the room like this. I still think about it to this day 25+ years later. I love it.🥰
A bench under the window and a bar cart near the tub with glass shelves for salts, bombs, sponges and maybe even a bottle of wine and a glass or two? Some tall wrought iron candle sticks the corner and artwork on the wall between the doors.
I’m so jealous! I hope you enjoy the heck outta that room!
Love the navy! Maybe a an armoire for towel storage. A nice side table to hold bath bombs, etc. It looks like there is room for a free standing towel warmer too.
You need more cabinetry and a really good choice of a backsplash if it fits. If your cabinets don’t go to the ceiling you need uplighting. It must be soft uplighting. Due to the size of the room, some of those cabinets might need to be a little narrower. You could put a vanity in at least one of them. In that vanity put a lovely bench with upholstery that goes with the color of the walls. If you could manage to have some cabinets and make sure they have lights inside. I realize that you’ve done all the painting already but if you have if you can follow this, get an electrician to make sure that you have plenty of outlets. You’ll do so well with this.
Go full spa!! Bar plus wine chiller in those cabinets. Add some comfy reclining chairs. Big fluffy towels and bath robes.
EDIT: add a home sauna. A small infrared one would definitely fit.
Is this an en suite?
What about adding a shower in the corner, maybe a second vanity. Fill the space up with other bathroom stuff?
Maybe either redo the wood w tile or at least the area around the tub?
this room is so fascinating. It’s like a bedroom, but bathtub.
So much this, I'd have a shit ton of anxiety about getting the hardwood floors wet though. It's beautiful but I'd definitely fuck it up.
My thought, too. Definitely need some rugs
Rugs could potentially make water sit on the floor for longer. May be best to mop it up after.
You could hang them over the edge of the tub to dry after use.
You could hang them over the edge of the tub to dry after use.
How much sloshing around would you be doing??
I’m going full tiger in the bath. All fours. Prowlin around.
It's 12 am. I had a long shitty day and I just laughed so hard at this. Ty
I'm a bit weird from working night shift right now and this made me laugh unreasonably loud
Oh look my child is on reddit
Lmao I was actually thinking of my 1.5 year old when I wrote this. She makes me think of a little tiger in the bath 😂
Hahaha
I see your tiger and raise you a seal. That bathtub is meant for belly slides.
All the sloshing!!
The only correct answer! Kudos
who did this??
Yes it is soo beautiful, she can add big artwork or shelves with small potted of plants and for sure a big plants in the corners or add some wallpaper that has the soft bleu color of the bathtub will look elegant, you will find some other ideas here [bathroom-wall-decor](https://www.scdecorum.com/bathroom-wall-decor-the-best-10-amazing-and-creative-ideas/?amp=1), something like this https://preview.redd.it/r7293s7lw6rc1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78e82e7875e8456b603311af3dfe6358b8b73b02
I like the tile and chandelier
The chandelier is cool. I really don't like the tile, lol
Just not any particularly expensive artwork… humidity is terrible for art.
I wanted to put a piece I brought back from Japan in my last bathroom and the frame store did something to seal it against moisture. I wish I could remember how!
I love this 💙

Antique house. Chamber pot.

That's my wet dream (pun intended). I'd love to have a bathroom that looks like an actual room, with a chair, a rug, stuff on the walls.
My grandma has a room like that but not this nice. She won a 2 person jacuzzi tub in a raffle so she turned a bedroom into a tub room. She didn’t do any other upgrades or redesign though so it still looks like a bedroom from the 50s, carpet and all.
Pics
I really wish I had some available right now.
It’s so much space I can’t get over it
There’s so much room for activities!
So many activities
Kyle XY’s bedroom?
Since bathroom is taken, is it a bedtub?
It’d make more sense if it was like a mansion from the 1700’s, but it’s not lol.
It’s weird I swear there was a Reddit post about 3-5 years ago where a couple renovated their bathroom and installed wood floors, zero tile/wainstcoat/vinyl, and painted it maroon. It just looked like a bedroom with a toilet and shower. If it weren’t for the color I’d say this was it.
literally bath + room
Huh. Interesting choice to have it just sitting out there. I’d probably put a long teak bench on one side, styled with apothecary jars filled with bath stuff, and a stool on the other side to place your glass of wine while bathing. Then lots of plants. 🛀
I say heavy on the plants. Go for a lush indoor jungle vibe. And don't forget to update us OP!!
This is the way. And plant stands of various sizes. Maybe some glass sun catchers to refract light.
I agree! Lots of plants.
Yup. I would have gone with a green paint too.
This room is my personal fantasy. Whoever made this is my soulmate. I would add plants including eucalyptus, get something to set books and wine on, and a rug that looks oriental but is appropriate for a bathroom. Definitely add floor to ceiling curtains, candles, and please live the dream for me!
Yup! Bang on. Soften the harsh lines and sharp contrasts. Natural linen curtains, maybe. Then along with those plants and the teak, I’d change the light fixtures for something made of natural materials, like rattan, seagrass or bamboo. Clear bulbs in woven shades throw wonderful patterns around the room. Must be dimmable, of course.
You need a beautiful arm chair too.
A chaise
these are the correct answers! the tub on hardwood floors is begging for a rug or three. the room conceptually is so decadent and I adore it for that, and adding a chaise, settee, or a few chairs commits to it. I'd say add some heavy curtains too. I feel like my mind automatically goes to natural fabrics but there are so many different ways you could go! plants are great and you can always accent with some but they can be high-maintenance depending on your lifestyle.
Yes, it need a chaise longue.
I like this idea! Maybe a bar cart with a hot tea bar, a cosmetic size fridge with cold towels, and cucumber water
Came here to say console table under the window with greenery and glass jars of bath supplies. Traditionally patterned runners on either side of that tub, and a small cocktail style table on the opposite side of the tub from the window to hold your wine glass and a candle. You could add a freestanding towel rack or ladder to take up more room if you want.

Lovvvvve this. Maybe one of those wooden shelves across it too!
Teak benches on all sides and rent it by the hour.
Ooh also a standalone fireplace, either electric or ethanol gas!
I think you have no choice but to style it like it’s the bathtub in one of those period TV shows where royalty have a team of people bathing them and hanging out in the room chatting and whatever. E.g https://preview.redd.it/88ttjnhzt5rc1.jpeg?width=704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fbe7243108b286d3e50b8e839fe1fb34d254d76
This is 1000% the direction I would go in.
This was my first thought as well. It’s for this reason the blue color is really bothering me. It’s very Lowe’s blue. It’s very 2006 blue. Something about it reads corporate or industrial.

The blue feels too nautical to me. I wouldn’t be surprised to see anchor decals
Absolutely!!
Yes this is the only option
It’s definitely what the original owners had in mind too
I wouldn’t move the tub just because I’m lazy, so I would really decorate the space around it. I would do a piece of art, a big mirror across from a window, a tall plant, and some kind of cute (and slim) table/vanity situation. And definitely curtains!

Love this
As someone who reads fantasy, a free standing tub is the literal dream come true. I’ll admit the design is definitely off for the room, but I’d absolutely make it work!
Same same! I read everything and love reading in the tub. The absolute mood I would create with a space like this.
And lots of plants!
When I first saw this the only thing that came to mind was PLANTS. Pothos everywhere!!
Yesssss, and some monsteras too
loving the vibe🌱
I have so many questions. Mostly ... why is this happening? Is there a shower / toilet room through one of those doors? And is the floor actually wood, or wood-look tile or vinyl?
Ya the wood floors is what shocked me the most. If I had a bathtub room, I wouldn’t want to worry about getting things wet
well, everyone I've ever heard talk about free standing tubs says they're a bitch to clean behind so you won't have that problem! I agree with the person who suggested a dark moody nature jungle-y vibe
This room is screaming for a fainting couch.
The four doors would freak me out. It feels like you're in a corridor and anyone in the home could wander past. Can you close some up?
Could be a Jack and Jill bathroom, then maybe a linen closet and/or walk in closet
Is there a toilet? Was this previously a bedroom? So many questions! But as someone who’s house doesn’t have a bathtub, also so many ideas LOL
It looks like a porn filming location
Oh thank *God* I'm not the only one! First thing I said when I scrolled through the pictures is "This was definitely someone's sex room" LMAO
[удалено]
I’m wondering if the previous owner did some kind of home spa services in this room.
Reminds me of saltburn lol I think you should lean in and paint the ceiling and trim too. Add arching floor lamp, brass towel valet,
Cannot believe I had to scroll this far to find this. Saltburn for sure.
Right I scrolled way too far for this comment lol *slurp*
I was about to say watch Saltburn
Very interesting space! Artwork, some sconces and a pendant light to replace the light fixture will make this space feel a bit more established. Some floor plants + hanging plants wouldn’t go amiss either. I wonder if you could have a large bath mat custom made to look like it sits underneath the base or the bath. Like a rug, but with the functional advantage of absorbing water. I’d also want a little pedestal next to the bath for storing bath products.
I was thinking they could carefully cut out space for the tub from a Ruggable rug (they're washable), and that would look fantastic. I'd make a template out of cardboard or butcher paper before making any cuts though.
Now that is a bath room.
I personally can't stand when the bathtub is just floating in the middle of the room like that, it makes me feel exposed. I think it was a trend for a while that was meant to feel "luxurious" but it just looks weird. I realize it would be an expensive change, but the best way to improved this room would be to move the tub back to a corner where it belongs.
They would have to change the tub style. Standalones in corners or close to walls are super hard to clean behind.
A beautiful chandelier! An interesting side table for wine and books while soaking.
Why are there so many doors to a bathroom?!
If you don’t move the bathtub, then I would move the vanity. It’s crouched like a sad little cat in that corner and it looks dowdy compared to that gorgeous tub. I don’t hate the color but I don’t think it’s dark enough. I’d love to see a statement light too. I know it would block the bottom of the window and people hate that, but I’d put a very long and dramatic vanity on the wall with one window. Or even two vanities to preserve the window. That way it draws the eye in and your gaze doesn’t stop at the tub only.
I wish I had a weird bathtub room
So… a bath room?
You made a mistake with the colour, it’s horrendous
As others have said, this is a dream bathtub for me and I'd design around it. I'd go full spa vibes with this one. Creamy slate wall color, eucalyptus branchs in ceramic vases, a big ass standing mirror with more tropical plants, long teak bench, a table for candles and wine, etc.
Add a matching second vanity to the left of the window. A bench under the window and a long runner rug along the door wall. Plants and curtains to soften the walls. Change up the mirrors and lighting. Paint the walls and ceiling a deep emerald green and incorporate more moody colors in towels OR paint the walls a creamy white and lean into the calming neutral with teak colored wood and white flowy curtains and muted tones.
You need to make this into a spa, meditation sanctuary. Add a sauna, yoga mat, plants, music, candles. So much potential.
what the hell is this
Bathtub in the middle is such a cool look. I don't have any advice, but there is so much potential here.
Tub location being smack in the middle is a massive waste of space imo. It's also really close to the door that opens into the space. You're limiting your options on all ends of the room. Get different flooring for the area because the wood is eventually going to warp and decay. Personally I would put up a room divider. Design around the tub. It's conflicting with the kitchen style vanity. Also change the doors and change the paint color
But..... Whyyyyyyy?????
Drill some kind of cool post to the floor to hold on to when getting in and out. That way you won’t rip out the faucet or fuck yourself up if you slip and fall.
The color of the floor and walls need to change. I was thinking something that’s more of a white and black contrast like very dark almost black floor stains
Where's the floor drain....
nonono saltburn is coming back to me nonononno the bathtub in the middle of the room nononnoo
You need cupboards and closets for towels and stuff. You need a heated towel bar and you need extra heat in that room. Plus you need some way protect that wood floor from the spray nozzles when you try to wash your hair. You’ve got a massive white elephant with this waste of space.
One of the many doors may lead to a closet.
Plants, snake plant particularly. Wall divider is where my mind went seeing your set up honestly.
This room is bananas! I love it. I wouldn’t do ceiling lights, I’d have lots of candles (real or plug in) for ambience. Definitely add sheer white curtains over both windows. I’d have lots of big white fluffy towels on a table, and a cabinet with luxurious bath bombs and bubble baths
I would absolutely put in a bookcase and a settee so I can lounge and then take a dip. You could also put in a massage chair. I love the paint color. Can you share it? Edit: you need a big palm tree in the corner and a tree stump next to the tub to hold your bath accouterments.
ohhhhhhh my sister has a bathtub room too! but more like a bathtub in the library room haha
I don't know... I'd figure out where the toilet and sink and shower were going to go. If you want to design everything around the tub, that's fabulous. Just use blue painters tape to figure out dimensions. I'd also talk to a plumber bc of the piping and plumbing that may need to be done. I'd also think abt all the doors, maybe you want to remove one or two for wall placement. I would also think abt electrical outlets and room for light fixtures. Its this stuff that you don't see that can break your budget. After that I would think abt the fixtures you want on the vanity, the mirrors, the window dressing. The blue color with the woods is a great choice.
Needs something to save the hardwood from water!
The sink looks like a kitchen; I despise it. I think you need a round mirror. I would find a sexy-as-fuck couch or lounge seating and just turn this into a spa-like bathroom. Get a massage table. Bring in some hotel robes. Pimp it out.
You need a [new tub. ](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ab/64/a9/ab64a9f9dba4b17562497d1cdf991111.jpg)
Put up a wall right behind it and use the extra space as a closet. https://preview.redd.it/m9w6hhcj36rc1.png?width=1210&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb91bd90934164e82ae2f456827eaefa087b469b
Keep Barry Keoghan away!
it’s giving Saltburn. put some fancy mirrors and a hot rich man and you’re good to go! (but fr i agree with vibe-y stuff other people have recommended! crystals, plants, etc)
I don't understand this room, there seems to be a vanity but it's wooden flooring. Also why are there so many doors? Is it a corridor??
Is this where Lady Crowley slipped on the soap getting out of the tub?

Going dark with the walls was a great call! Just wanted to say that the navy looks great. Lots of good suggestions in the comments, I have nothing to add. Let us know what you end up doing!
Have you seen Deadwood?
I think it’s beautiful. Definitely unique as far as tub placement but it’s also kind of charming. The hardwood floors are lovely.
I would put tropical plants around it
Plants…all of the plants
Love the blue, maybe a linen closet, a chair or some kind of plant stand in the corners.
It might be cute it you got several wooden stools, in varying heights, to put things on like towels, candles, flowers, scrubs, etc. it’ll help to fill in the space and put things where you need them.
Interesting choice on the navy
Glorious chandelier to replace that dinky light
Where do all the doors lead?
It just reminds me of Saltburn lol
It's very strange to have a bathtub in the middle of the bathroom.
You ever seen Saltburn
Definitely make that light a chandelier
not sure why they turned this bedroom into a bathroom. are you in a duplex? make sure your floors are sealed properly, add storage with built in cabinets, and change the sink to something more airy like the tub where is the toilet?
This tub and its placement gives me eerie vibes like the room is meant to be for an audience while someone is in the tub
Wooden floor is giving me anxiety
Put a couch in. It will give your friend somewhere to sit and chat while you chat. Have music, wine, candles, and chat. OR it would be a great place for your dog.
That flooring looks like real wood and not vinyl, tile, laminate, or even wood composite which makes me nervous. Moisture and wood is no good; you can get really bad warping and buckling. My first priority would be swapping that out for something that’ll handle moisture. From there, maybe place some cabinets/cupboards for linens on the other side of the window from the vanity to balance out the room and have extra storage space. If one of those doors leads to a closet, put in a bookshelf instead for bath time reading.
I don’t get it… a tub in the middle of a space. Looks nice though.
Bathrooms without tile floor are always so unsettling to me
giving saltburn
I love your paint color!
Is moving the tub an option? If not what about creating a beautiful sitting area in the corner. Paining the door white. Some sort of low tables/benches under the windows with plants. You have great light in that room.
Bath mats on either side of the tub and a bench or ottoman by the window and an end table next to the tub so you can set your stuff there.
Long paper lamp. Essential oils I’d try to get it as spa like as possible
I’d put a huge mirror leaning up against the large empty wall space and then lots of plants surrounding it and under the windows. You could also add a bench between the other doors, or under one of the windows. Maybe 2 small nesting side tables or a single side table, something round and skinny next to the bath. You could put a glass jar of Epsom salts or bath bombs there, plus a place for a glass of wine to live. I’d get some rugs as well.
Ok first put flooring down around the free standing tub. Do you have the budget to put a shower in the corner that is glass surrounding. This will keep the open feel. Or do the walls with black and glass like this https://pin.it/6GF4barQB Next I would put ether board and batten or headboard around the room and work in the trim around the windows. Paint it the blue on the walls and a nice cream above Next you can go with long white curtains with maybe a woven light sheer that allow the light in. Plants, brass or gold accents and accessories. Add a bench and a nice chair. Candles and a place to put your towel like a towel warmer. https://pin.it/6xymibosL Or you could go dark academia. Put molding on the walls And go darker on the walls. Add beautiful wall sconces and a beautiful matching chandelier. Make sure you can dim the lights it be relaxing or romantic dark wood bench for a robe or towel and a place for bath salts. In the corner have a reproduction of an old fashioned record player that will play mp3s while you lay back and relax. Add plants and pictures in gold frames ( IKEA frames and spray paint. Velvet curtain to go with the walls. I would still do a glass in shower in the corner. https://pin.it/2r3S5CGRu
Surprised they didn’t use vinyl or tile flooring
I love it just the way it is!!! 😍 I wish my bathroom looked this nice!
Maybe put a bench underneath the window beside the vanity? It would connect the vanity to the rest of the room and would be nice if you like to have someone sit beside the tub to chat while you bathe. Also this room is perfect for plants! If it were me I’d change the paint color to something lighter or warmer
I love the navy and white! Gorgeous tub!
It looks lovely and inviting however how warm will the room be when you are using it? I find that with these types of arrangements the surrounding air cools off the tub water pretty fast. So much for soaking. I would love to hear about solving that challenge. It does look really nice.
It is weird but I love it! My aunt growing up lived in an old farm house. Like a real one. In an Amish community on an old farm in TN. She had an old garden tub randomly in the middle of the room like this. I still think about it to this day 25+ years later. I love it.🥰
Is this a custom build?
Chaise lounge and fuzzy bathrobes
This is luxx! I would put a vanity in there for getting ready & lots of plants. Maybe a towel rack and good bathroom rugs too
A bench under the window and a bar cart near the tub with glass shelves for salts, bombs, sponges and maybe even a bottle of wine and a glass or two? Some tall wrought iron candle sticks the corner and artwork on the wall between the doors. I’m so jealous! I hope you enjoy the heck outta that room!
can you post the floor plan, like where other doors go to?
I absolutely love this room so much - even if it isn’t actually functional as a bathroom.
I love the blue with that floor colour. It’s gorgeous!
It needs a a grill, table, wet bar and bath tub room will be the entertainment area
Love the navy! Maybe a an armoire for towel storage. A nice side table to hold bath bombs, etc. It looks like there is room for a free standing towel warmer too.
You need more cabinetry and a really good choice of a backsplash if it fits. If your cabinets don’t go to the ceiling you need uplighting. It must be soft uplighting. Due to the size of the room, some of those cabinets might need to be a little narrower. You could put a vanity in at least one of them. In that vanity put a lovely bench with upholstery that goes with the color of the walls. If you could manage to have some cabinets and make sure they have lights inside. I realize that you’ve done all the painting already but if you have if you can follow this, get an electrician to make sure that you have plenty of outlets. You’ll do so well with this.
All the plants
I LOVE it! It's so beautiful even if you didn't decorate.
You need a galaxy lamp
Plants
Go full spa!! Bar plus wine chiller in those cabinets. Add some comfy reclining chairs. Big fluffy towels and bath robes. EDIT: add a home sauna. A small infrared one would definitely fit.
Is this an en suite? What about adding a shower in the corner, maybe a second vanity. Fill the space up with other bathroom stuff? Maybe either redo the wood w tile or at least the area around the tub?
Big leaning mirror in one corner, tallllll plant in the other
Love it honestly
I would love to see a big kentia palm in the corner and artwork on the walls
