Designers Love Using This Unusual Material for Bathtubs That Brings a "Wabi-Sabi" Calm to Your Bathroom

The most blissful baths are the ones where you achieve spa-like status while soaking. Silky bubbles, water set at the perfect temperature, and candle lighting are a must, but how much attention do you pay to the tub itself? Well, there's one raw material that designers tend to opt for to create a true spa-like feel.

Taking a moment for a detailed self-care routine helps you wind down from the stresses of reality and wash off the day. Having a space that reflects freshness and elegance is an important part of turning your bathroom into a spa-like sanctuary, and the materials you use throughout the room are essential to that end. One of the bathroom trends we've noticed from designers achieving this look is the installation of concrete and ceramic tubs to bring a raw, artisanal look to a space.
