Why not take a bath in a wooden tub?

First of all I have to give you the answer on the question of my earlier blogpost "Who might be the designer?" Yes a few of you had guess the right answer. The designer of the house is Axel Vervoordt.




My earlier blogpost gave me inspiration to the blogpost of today. When I saw the picture of the bathroom with the wooden bath tub, I tought to share with you some wonderful wooden tubs.
The tubs can be made of oakwood, teak or mahogany.
So make your choice!

  5. I have never seen a wooden tub in person. They look great. I wonder how well they hold up and what the maintenance is on them. It would be interesting to know.

    I have made my choice (even if I can't see all pictures). I want to have the one that looks like a boat !

  7. Hallo Greet, wat laat je ons altijd genieten van prachtige interieurs. Wat apart die houten baden, sommige zijn echte kunstwerken.
    Helaas is mijn douche te klein voor een bad, maar anders had ik het wel geweten, heerlijk badderen.
    Fijne avond en groetjes, Mea

  17. I can see myself enjoying a soak in the first tub but they are all so luxurious that it is hard to choose.

  18. Greet, I don't even like to take baths! (One of the few people in the world! But I can dance in the shower for hours!). But since you with these images give me good reasons - I would pick the ones from your own design file no. 3 and no. 13. I actually think I could be quite comfortable in those tubs! Hope all is well with lovely you. OX Monika

  20. Greet , it is a fabulous idea !! it looks so cosy. I love the 1st picture , it is my favorite one

  21. I don't think a wooden tub would be my choice for a tub. Although, I do admit, they are pretty interesting looking all the way from what looks like an old rain barrel to plexy glass and wood mixed. I like the third one the best, but I think I will stick with an old fashioned white clawfoot as being my favorite. Hugs, Cindy S.

  22. A wooden bathtub always has seem wrong to me as I compare it to boat, well a canoe, and its supposed to keep you dry, not to get soaked. Well this was my conception till we moved in our house in France where we had a wine cellar with a hughe barrel, I mean 2 M wide and 3M high, we thought about changing it in and enormous shower, it didn't happen, we gave the barrel away, I know stands in the Chateau de Mascaraas. Nice posting Greet. Cheers

  23. My favorite is the one by bartokdesign. It seems like a cross between a Japanese bath and a Swedish Sauna!

  27. Hi Greet!
    This was a most interesting post! Never have I seen so may different variation on a wooden tub. Some of them look like big gorgeous salad bowls you want to just jump in! I hope you and your family have a happy holiday season!!!!!!Maryanne

  29. Amazing tubs! I do like the idea that it wouldn't be all cold. Bet the wood would hold the warmth of the water better, too. Just wouldn't won't to get a splinter in my tush. LOL Just can't get over all the different styles...great post!

  33. Although the wooden bathtub typically serves as the focus of the bathroom, some people don’t like to bathe every day. They prefer to shower daily and then occasionally enjoy relaxing in the wooden tub.
