BATHROOM ENVY

A freestanding bath is the ultimate centrepiece and the epitome of luxury living. To heighten the sense of indulgence, bathroom specialist Aston Matthews has introduced copper baths to its classic Astonian range. The standalone stunners are available in a variety of finishes, including this striking Verdigris effect, but you can also choose from polished, antiqued copper or a painted finish. As well as being imbued with character, copper offers many benefits: it’s an excellent conductor of heat, which means your bath will stay hotter for longer; it’s mould resistant, making it hygienic; and as the baths are made from recycled copper, it’s also a more eco-friendly choice. The Astonian copper bath is available in two lengths – 170cm or 150cm – priced from £4,537.
