Corner Baths: Space-Savvy Elegance for Australian Homes
Renovating a bathroom in Australia often feels like solving a puzzle. Between compact city apartments and family homes craving modern flair, every decision matters. Corner baths have emerged as a favourite for homeowners seeking smart, stylish solutions. At The Blue Space, we’ve watched these designs revolutionise spaces—turning cramped corners into luxurious retreats. Let’s explore why they’re more than just a trend.
Why Corner Baths? A Solution for Real Australian Spaces
Australian urban living often means wrestling with limited square footage. Picture a terrace house in Sydney or a chic apartment in Melbourne—space is precious. Corner baths thrive here, slotting seamlessly into neglected angles. This isn’t just about squeezing in a tub; it’s about reimagining your bathroom’s flow.
Take our small baths collection, designed for homes where every millimetre counts. These models prove that compact doesn’t mean compromising on comfort. By positioning the bath diagonally, you gain unexpected floor space—perfect for adding storage or a statement vanity.
But the benefits go beyond practicality. A well-placed corner bath becomes the room’s anchor. Angular designs add architectural interest, while curved options soften the space. Pair one with a strategically placed mirror or vertical garden, and suddenly your bathroom feels twice as large.
Design Diversity: From Sharp Lines to Gentle Curves
Gone are the days when corner baths meant rigid triangles. Today’s designs cater to every taste. Love clean, modern aesthetics? Our square baths range delivers crisp geometry that pairs beautifully with subway tiles and matte black fixtures. Prefer something more organic? The undulating forms in our oval baths collection mimic natural shapes, creating a serene vibe.
Materials play a starring role in personalisation:
-
Acrylic: Lightweight and budget-friendly, ideal for young families. Our acrylic bathtubs resist scratches and come in 12 hues.
-
Stone Resin: Offers a luxe, spa-like feel. The stone baths range retains heat beautifully—perfect for long soaks.
-
Steel: For industrial chic, our steel baths combine durability with a sleek, metallic finish.
Elevating Everyday Routines: Beyond Basic Bathing
Why settle for ordinary? Modern corner baths integrate features that blur the line between home and spa:
-
Hydrotherapy Jets: Found in our spa baths collection, these target muscle tension after a long day.
-
Built-in Storage: Recessed niches for candles, books, or bath salts keep essentials within reach.
-
Anti-Slip Bases: Essential for households with kids or elderly family members.
Consider a freestanding model from our freestanding baths range as a sculptural centrepiece. Alternatively, back-to-wall designs in our back-to-wall baths lineup offer streamlined efficiency, tucking plumbing neatly out of sight.
Finding the Right Fit: Size Matters
Choosing the correct size ensures comfort without overcrowding:
-
Under 1500mm: Ideal for ensuites. Explore our compact baths for space-conscious solutions.
-
1500–1700mm: The Goldilocks zone for most families. Check our mid-sized options.
-
Over 1700mm: For spacious bathrooms. Our large baths offer deep soaking depths.
