There are few feelings as immediately stress-relieving as sinking into a steaming tub of bubbly suds. A hot bath at the end of a long day is one of life's ultimate pleasures, but that is not to say that all baths are created equal. In the battle of the baths, there are two major contenders — freestanding vs the built-in bathtub.
If you’re at the beginning of your bathroom renovation, this will be one of the most defining decisions you will make through the whole process. While a freestanding tub can offer an extremely luxurious, antique-feel, the built-in has become the mainstay modern bathroom idea. A freestanding, copper bathtub oozes Regency-era luxury, letting you live out your Austen-heroine fantasy, retiring to your bath after hours of being spun around by various suitors, whereas a marble built-in offers unparalleled sleekness, especially when integrated within the rest of the bathroom design.
