A freestanding bath asks the surrounding room to hold some of the things an ordinary bath rim might carry. In Dyce, Aberdeen, the bath sits in front of the window with a floor-mounted filler and handset. Recessed shelves at the end provide a place for bath products. The arrangement gives the bath its own working area alongside a separate shower.
The filler and shelf deserve to be chosen against the actual bath shape. Establish where the spout will discharge and how the controls and handset can be reached. Then check the shelves from a seated bathing position and from where someone stands to clean or refill the bath. The same drawing can show where the window, filler and bath edge leave useful access. With those details resolved, there is less reason to leave bottles scattered along the rim and the separate bath can be set up for regular use.
