Why install a bathtub in your bedroom?

Installing a bathtub in a bedroom is no longer reserved for luxury hotels or love rooms. This trend is attracting more and more French people looking for an intimate, stylish space conducive to relaxation.

A “master suite” effect worthy of a charming hotel

Adding a bathtub to your bedroom instantly creates a chic, upscale ambiance . This type of layout transforms the room into a true master suite , worthy of a Michelin-starred establishment.

It's an elegant way to enhance the sleeping area while enhancing the feeling of comfort and cocooning. The "wow" effect is guaranteed, both for occupants and guests.

A relaxation area accessible at all times

Having a bathtub in your bedroom allows you to enjoy a moment of relaxation without leaving the privacy of your sleeping area . Whether for an evening bath after a long day or a moment of calm in the morning, this immediate comfort encourages letting go. Water then becomes a daily ritual, accessible in just a few steps, far from the hustle and bustle of the common areas.

Save space in the bathroom

Installing a bathtub in the bedroom frees up space in the main bathroom. It's a smart solution for those who want to incorporate both a shower and a bathtub into their home.

This also allows for the optimization of space by creating two distinct functional areas: hygiene in the bathroom, relaxation in the bedroom.

An arrangement conducive to complicity

This type of layout also appeals to couples who want to create a romantic atmosphere or transform their bedroom into a private love room .

A whirlpool bath near the bed, subdued lighting, a few candles and a relaxing playlist are enough to create an intimate setting, conducive to complicity and well-being for two.

Master bedroom or love room: our ideas for a successful setting

A partition to separate the sleeping area from the bathroom area

In this minimalist master suite, the white freestanding bathtub fits perfectly into a sober space dominated by raw materials : a textured concrete-style wall, light wood floor and wood-paneled ceiling.

A central partition subtly separates the sleeping area from the bathroom. The whole thing exudes a feeling of understated luxury , enhanced by a graphic plant and sleek faucets.

The bathtub in the center of the room

Here, the bathtub becomes the heart of a room inspired by slow life codes: soft light, white voile curtain, natural materials such as rattan, wood, linen textiles.

The ochre-colored plants and accessories warm up the space. We are clearly in a plant-filled and sensory love room , perfect for moments together.

The bathtub in a corner of the room

Facing a panoramic bay window, this bathtub stands out in a bright and uncluttered decor. The natural parquet flooring, low bedding, and powdery beige tones create a calm and enveloping ambiance. Fresh flowers add a delicate touch, reinforcing the romantic spirit.

What You Need to Know Before Installing a Bathtub in Your Bedroom

Installing a bathtub in a bedroom is not something you can improvise. While the idea is appealing for its aesthetics and comfort, it requires some important technical and practical checks before you get started.

Check technical feasibility

First and foremost, make sure your bedroom has access to the water supply and drainage system . In a new home, this can be planned for during the design phase. In renovations, additional work may be required, especially if the bedroom is located far from the drainage pipes or on an upper floor.

It is therefore recommended to call a plumber to validate the feasibility of the project.

Provide sufficient ventilation

A bathtub in a bedroom generates steam and humidity , especially in the case of prolonged hot baths. It is therefore essential to provide effective ventilation : a window, a VMC, or even an additional dehumidifier.

Good ventilation will prevent condensation on walls, mold and damp odors.

Choosing a suitable floor covering

Not all floors withstand water well, so it's essential to have a moisture-resistant floor covering , such as tiles, treated parquet, or vinyl flooring specifically designed for wet rooms.

A waterproof underlay is also recommended to protect the floor in the event of accidental overflow.

Think about privacy and daily use

Even if the bathtub is beautiful and original, it remains a bathroom element . So think about your lifestyle: do you need privacy in the bedroom? Do you share the space with someone?

A glass partition , a linen curtain or a platform can help visually demarcate the bathroom area while maintaining the harmony of the room.

Anticipate the weight of the filled bathtub

A full bathtub can weigh several hundred kilos. Upstairs, you should check the strength of the floor .

By the way, Spalina acrylic bathtubs, which are lighter than cast iron or resin models, are particularly suitable for this type of installation. However, a structural assessment may be necessary in some cases.

Plan the connections

Depending on the bathtub chosen (freestanding, whirlpool, etc.), it will be necessary to provide floor or wall connections , as well as easy access for maintenance. A whirlpool bathtub will also require a secure power supply to power the massage jets or LEDs.

With proper planning, installing a bathtub in your bedroom will become a unique and successful experience. And at Spalina , we will help you choose the model best suited to your space, style, and technical constraints.
