"The modern bathtub is more than just a plumbing fixture - and according to many recent reports, buyers are moving away from traditional shower-tub combo with grouted tile or a sliding glass door in favor of spa-like wet rooms, where a shower or tub might not even share the same space. "I've walked into primary suites where a freestanding tub's been placed under a dramatic skylight or in front of a floor-to-ceiling marble wall - just like you'd place artwork," says Joe Ellul-Turner, a Malta-based real estate professional and founder of Darscover."
""Listings that feature dramatic tubs, especially when framed by views or unique materials, perform noticeably better online," Nelden explains. "They're highly 'screenshot-worthy,' and buyers often reference those images when they tour in person.""
""When strategically placed and beautifully framed, the tub sells the lifestyle as much as the home itself," echoes Nelden."
The modern bathtub functions as an architectural statement rather than solely a plumbing fixture. Buyers increasingly prefer spa-like wet rooms over traditional shower-tub combinations with grouted tile or sliding glass doors. Freestanding tubs are often positioned under skylights, before floor-to-ceiling marble walls, or in nontraditional locations outside the bathroom. Dramatic tubs framed by views or unique materials perform better online and generate more buyer interest through highly 'screenshot-worthy' imagery. Strategically placed and beautifully framed tubs sell a lifestyle as much as a home, influencing in-person tours. Affordable freestanding tubs are available for under $600, making dramatic tubs accessible across budgets.
