This One Piece of Bathroom Furniture Solves the Most Frustrating Problem With Freestanding Tubs

Black and white checkerboard floor bathroom witha freestanding black bath with a wooden bath tray and a small stool next to it.

Investing in a bath table has revolutionized my evening bath routine, now I'm sharing the secret with you. An icy glass of water, a good book, and a whole lot of bubbles. To me, that's the recipe for the perfect wind-down bath, my favorite way to treat myself at the end of a long day. There's only one issue with this winning formula: Where are you meant to put your bath-time accessories? Sure, you can try balancing your book on the edge of the tub, or leaving your glass on the floor, but this stressful set-up will seriously take away from the spa-like feel we're going for.

This is why I'm such a loyal supporter of the humble bath table. Even the simplest designs can help transform your bath-time ritual and the overall feel of your bathroom ideas — making the act feel more intentional, considered, and comfortable. Since I've added one of these clever designs to my tub, I find myself looking forward to a bath even more than I already did.
