I like the idea of bath tubs situated at the center of the room. I remember my first year in an Interior Design course one summer. We were designing a master bath and I placed my bathtub at the corner. My architect teacher stared down at my work and said, "Stop designing like an architect! Forget the plumbing. Design like an interior designer." She's right. Since then, my world opened up to being more flamboyant and more experimental. Every time I see a bath tub at the center of the room, I think about my teacher. (Is that weird?)
Whether it's traditional or contemporary, it allows great circulation around the tub set next to an open shower area or a dry space.
I'd like to feature a stunning home design by my new design crush, architect, Charlie Simmons of Charlie & Co. Design. The contemporary areas of his Modern Shingle Style work are so serenely stylish!

I've featured this bathroom before in one of my dreamy baths post.
A beautiful patio adds the final touch.
Hope you're having a blissful Friday! Speaking of blissful, here's an inspiring pin board of zen bathrooms with touches of wood for your picking. Which one is your favorite?
I love the wall tile design and the counter's drawer wooden finish. The wooden beams accentuate the ceiling along with an interesting choice of lighting.
Don't you just want to soak in right about now?
The wooden paneling in this bathroom makes it extra cozy.
I particularly like the amount of daylight in this bathroom streaming through various areas with glass partitions.
A slight touch of elegance having the leather upholstered bench and area rug in the middle of the room.
Bath time! The best way to a relaxing evening is a warm bubble bath in the tub avec scented candles, bath oils or salts. Think Lavender. To make the experience more wonderful, let's top each one off with a soothing music. I will associate music and scent that I could think of in each inspiring bathroom.

I think the best bath tubs are the ones with a window. I get claustrophobic having a bubble bath in non-window baths especially the ones in towers where all you get is an exhaust or vent. Skylights could be an alternative to windows to get some natural light in.

Open spaces with the bed adjacent to the tub is invoking romance. White washed walls and light floor boards give the space an Airy feel. Lots of light in and lots of love.

A Great idea to have a fireplace next to a free standing bath. This could be very romantic!
The White walls & sheer contrasting dramatically against the dark floorboards is very chic.
Which bath is your favorite?
Now it's weekend..it's time to soak.
