Colour drenching
It’s a trend sweeping the globe, with homeowners and interior designers blanketing rooms in the one colour from floor to ceiling. Thanks to the wide range of colours available in freestanding stone baths – including the Pietra Bianca tubs now available from Casa Italiana – this popular design trend is also possible in the bathroom.
From ‘black onyx’ to ‘coco brown’, the range will have a bathtub to suit if you’re also following the trend of experimenting with a darker interior. “These colours give people another option – as you can see, they look beautiful,” says Carl Whiteman, director at Casa Italiana.

Make it a 'wow factor'
“These bathtubs can lift your bathroom to another level,” says Carl. “You can match it with the same style basin to keep the design flow going through your bathroom.”
The important thing though, is to plan the space first: “What people must realise with freestanding baths, is that when you’re designing your bathroom you’ve got to have space. It all comes back to the layout of your bathroom and creating that space for the tub to make a statement.”

Create an outdoor retreat
The organic forms and natural surface texture of stone baths promise a moment of relaxation. Paired with the soothing impact of being surrounded by nature, an at-home spa experience can be created.
Made from eco-friendly, non-porous composite stone material – created from a unique blend of reclaimed marble, limestone and engineered resins – Pietra Bianca tubs have high heat retention and durability, making them perfect for outdoor settings.
The tubs are also easy to clean and maintain: “We recommend cleaning with soapy water after each use followed by drying your bathtub with a clean, dry cloth or towel. This is to prevent mineral or soap scum accumulating on the surface of the stone bath.”
If you don't have the space for an outdoor spa area, design your bathroom with the tub overlooking a large window for ultimate relaxation.
