Whether you're overhauling your current bathroom or designing one from scratch for a new construction home, every modern bathroom needs a few essentials. Some key elements of innovative bathroom design include:

Multiple layers of lighting
An overarching theme
A simple color scheme
Adequate storage

However, the most important element in any modern bathroom design is the centerpiece of the room: the bathtub.

Modern Bathtubs Innovating Bathroom Design

When most people begin shopping for their next bathtub, they don't realize just how many options there are. But if you're aiming for a sleek and modern feel, there are a few bathtubs that stand out from the rest.

VINA 79 INCH ACRYLIC FLOATING HAMMOCK TUB

1. Floating Hammock Bathtub

Hammock bathtubs are a brain-bending modern engineering marvel. As the name suggests, the basin of these tubs look like a hammock and are often mounted between two sturdy end posts, floating in the bathroom. When installed as a floating bathtub, these modern designs drain into a floor drain. A great example is the Vina 79- Inch Acrylic Floating Hammock Tub by Randolph Morris.

Not all hammack tubs need to be installed as a floating bathtub. Some are designed with a freestanding base, allowing the tub to be placed anywhere in the bathroom with all the comforts a hammock tub brings. The Everdeen 70 Inch Resin Hammock Freestanding Tub by Randolph Morris boasts modern design with a relaxing basin that cradles you while you bathe.

FLOKI 67 INCH TRANSPARENT RESIN FREESTANDING TUB

2. Transparent Bathtub

If you're looking for fun and innovative bathroom ideas, shake things up with a transparent bathtub. This style of bath can create a more intimate and relaxing atmosphere that many homeowners crave.

Many transparent bathtubs are constructed of glass, which can be tedious to maintain. The Floki 67-Inch Transparent Resin Freestanding tub however is made of a premium blend of natural and man-made materials. This solid surface tub retains heat and is easier to keep in pristine condition. Available in blue or black, these transparent bathtubs contrast beautifully in bathrooms with lots of white or gold.

VERTICAL ACRYLIC FLUTED FREESTANDING TUB

3. Fluted Bathtub

A fluted bathtub boasts intriguing grooves and lines that can't help but command attention. Although this feels like a retro style, you can keep things modern by opting for a freestanding model rather than a generic alcove bathtub. Many fluted tubs are offered in horizontal or vertical designs.

A horizontal fluted bathtub breaks away from the traditional vertical style most people expect and adds more movement to a space. For many people, dynamic lines and movement that guide your eyes around the room are one of the key elements of innovative bathroom design.

An extra-large fluted bathtub offers a classic look that you can't go wrong with. Many homeowners love the understated elegance of this tub and appreciate the way it elevates basic bathrooms.
