In recent years the bathtub has been back in fashion and there are many reasons why it still is a must for an exclusive bathroom. For example, the fact that this item can convey a sense of uniqueness to the room or that it can give you a moment of relaxation after a long day at work.
Here are our experts’ tips to turn the bathroom in your villa Lago Maggiore into a little spa.
The bathtub takes up more space than a shower. For this reason, its most common shape is rectangular, ideal to be placed next to a wall to “steal” as little space as possible. The new trends, however, point to a whole other direction. In fact, freestanding bathtubs are fashionable, that is free on four sides and usually placed in a central position in the room.
You will need wide spaces, but the “wow effect” is guaranteed. Sinuously vintage and rounded, with decorated feet that recall the Victorian bathtubs, or squared and with a contemporary shape: everyone can find the right style for the bathroom of their villa overlooking Lago Maggiore.
Relax and a dream-like panorama? That is something you shouldn't miss.
For many years the whirlpool bathtub has been the ultimate item in terms of modernity. Thanks to the progress, technology has now also reached the bathroom.
The modern hi-tech bathtubs can make your bath even more relaxing: using the digital touch-screen panel you can set the temperature, the led lights and the waterjets, while the bluetooth speakers directly fitted into the walls will guarantee the right musical atmosphere.
Can you imagine the fantastic contrast between these modern furnishings and the antique style of our historical villas at Lago Maggiore?
Ask the American Nathie Katzoff. His wooden bathtubs are famous all over the world, and it is not just a matter of design: the thermal insulation capacity of this material makes it possible to keep the water hot longer than the classic materials used.
The work behind his bathtubs is crazy: it takes many months for Katzoff to carve precious exotic woods and create unique models. Even the price is huge (from $ 30,000 upwards).
Also in Italy there are companies offering wooden bathtubs, which can find their proper home in Lago Maggiore houses and apartments.
Marble: a material that never loses its charm and that we frequently encounter in Lago Maggiore historical villas. A marble bathtub guarantees splendor and elegance and can be used both in an antique or modern context. You can use the black marble, if you aim at having a bathroom with great personality, and mix it with golden chromium platings.
The “Made in Italy” is also famous in the exclusive bathtub branch. The credit goes to a Florentine company (Baldi Home Jewels) which enriches its furnishings with precious stones (lapis lazuli, aquamarine, amethyst and others) and precious metals (gold and silver).
Imagine a bathtub made of rock crystal, weighing about 10,000 kg, hand chiseled in hours and hours of work, until it is completely smooth inside, but left natural on the outside, like a rough diamond. The emirs are crazy about it, although the price is obviously high (its cost exceeds one million euros).
Is it too much even for the most beautiful houses for sale in Laveno Mombello?
