<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A freestanding tub can serve as a focal point in a bathroom. The graceful curves recall sculpture, and metal basins act like jewelry for a space. A handcrafted copper vessel truly is a work of art. Its patina adds tension and warmth to an elegant marble room, just as the natural, rustic beauty of shells or wood balances the sleek luster of a silvery tub. The old world elegance of the basins pictured below invites the bather not merely to step back in time but to step out of time altogether and relax. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknJ6OMRKIpr_iFNZvJngSFHxm3rD33JKv3zflSxo8VxoaePDShU_ocY-SRCw3A-PVcX7BkotIE01AMoqY6CfTw-vn5XNk9gmxqSxIAiSo-qLOu0Ry_TZV5Vyccce0aWOGmNKvsQKO-P5R/s1600/Design-Trends-Beautiful-bathtubs-02-lgn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhknJ6OMRKIpr_iFNZvJngSFHxm3rD33JKv3zflSxo8VxoaePDShU_ocY-SRCw3A-PVcX7BkotIE01AMoqY6CfTw-vn5XNk9gmxqSxIAiSo-qLOu0Ry_TZV5Vyccce0aWOGmNKvsQKO-P5R/s1600/Design-Trends-Beautiful-bathtubs-02-lgn.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"In the Sonoma County, California, home of interior designers Andrew Fisher and Jeffry Weisman, a shell-encrusted chandelier crafted by the designers also acts as a tub filler for the freestanding Candide bathtub by Waterworks.
