A roll-top bath can definitely be considered to be the epitome of traditional period bathroom design. Here are our best options for roll-top bath ideas to enhance your new bathroom!
1 – Contrasting Elements
Go for a very simple roll-top bath design with white feet and deck-mounted taps… but ramp up the design contrasts with dark-painted wall panelling and patterned floor tiles. These elements are all very different but work beautifully together to create a very striking bathroom. Roll tip baths generally have different feet options and styles, here the simplicity of white claw feet on our Grosvenor bath is understated and elegant. Black and chrome feet options are also available.
2 – Double Style
Add grandeur to a spacious bathroom with the double-ended Mayfair Freestanding Roll Top Slipper Bath, This one is paired with our Sherbourne traditional freestanding taps with a hand-held shower head. The Mayfair bath is made from Lucite acrylic, and if it’s placed against a wall, can be installed with wall-mounted taps. This to-the-floor plinth design is a great way of emphasising the contrast between the pure white bath and dark wood flooring. And of course, the raised ends provide a very relaxing bathing experience…
3 – Free-Standing Single-Ended
This clever design is our Abingdon Single Ended Roll Top Bath, which is beautifully styled here in a larger space, with the end set away from the wall, and teamed with floor-standing taps. In a more compact space, this bath could be placed with the tap end up against the wall – either projecting into the room or with the long side against a wall too, in a corner position. The combination of our Sherbourne taps and the bold chrome feet make this a very sophisticated scheme which is subtle yet detailed.
4 – Back to Wall Freestanding Bath
Our Harrow Back to Wall Freestanding bath is a very clever combination of the traditional aesthetic, combined with a straight edge to allow the bath to sit directly against the wall. A deck-mounted bath shower mixer, in this case, our Thames set, has a very pleasing rounded design, which complements the rounded design lines of the bath. Shown here with chrome Claw Feet, also available with Ball feet, and in Black and White, there are plenty of choices to bring perfection to the new scheme.
5 – A Roll Top Bath with a Shower Screen
If you’re aiming to provide showering facilities in the new bathroom, but are considering how to combine a shower with a roll-top bath, then consider our Abingdon 1500 Roll Top Shower Bath. It’s a very good solution for a small bathroom, and at 1500mm long, the bath can work in a smaller room. Of course, as it is installed with a shower screen, that gives the best of both worlds for all the family, and the clean, frameless lines keep the look streamlined.
6 – Double Ended Roll Top Bath
We love the combination of ideas for this bathroom, which features our Tonbridge Dove Grey Roll Top Bath with White Feet. The pale pink panelled walls add a fresh, almost contemporary touch, which is enhanced by the stylish mirror – try our Blake design to ‘get that look’. The Tonbridge design also comes in white, and in 1600mm and 1750mm lengths for flexible design schemes, and again, White, Chrome or Black Claw Feet.
7 – A Slipper Bath
This dramatic bath is the Highbury Slipper Bath with Claw Feet, and it is shown here with Deck-mounted taps. We love the idea of setting it against black panelling and of course, it allows the possibility of changing the paint finish in the furture to create a very different colour scheme. A slipper bath is the perfect choice for anyone who loves lounging in the bath for extended periods, and who wouldn’t want to have a dreamy bath in this gorgeous setting…
