I generally place them in front of a book-match marble wall or a window with a great view. It’s also beautiful when the tub is the first thing you see when you walk into the bathroom." Whether claw-footed, pedestal, or cast iron, a freestanding tub brings instant elegance to any bathroom.

Additionally, they create a focal point. "In contrast to a built-in tub, a freestanding tub allows the eye to travel around the tub, thus giving the illusion of greater floor space," says Phillip Thomas, founder and principal of Phillip Thomas Inc. in New York. "They can also have a sculptural feel, which can bring energy and glamour to an otherwise utilitarian space."

High Sunderland, Bernat Klein's former home, was designed by Peter Womersley in 1958. It has recently been renovated and restored by Glasgow-based architects Loader Monteith. Photograph: Dapple Photography Based in Columbus, Ohio, I returned to my hometown in 2015 after an enriching six-year journey living in Germany and the Netherlands. This global exposure has fueled my desire to create spaces that possess the remarkable ability to transport people to their desired destinations through design. We encourage professional development, based on equal opportunities as well as on work-life balance.The use of glass room partitionsis highly recommendable for taking advantage of the light that comes in through each room, while simultaneously maintaining a certain continuity. A glass divider between the kitchen and living roomis ideal for homes that want to prevent odors and smoke from moving from one space to the other, without either of them losing light or continuity. Aside from its yellow composition, the store also features an installation by Ruby that comprises scaffolding for hanging clothes,bright red tassels, hangers, quilts and artwork.

Klein designed this living room and bedroom as part of his ‘colour consultancy’ work for the Department of the Environment in 1971. The top image was included in his Living Room Interior Colour Guide. All of the furnishing fabrics and the carpet here were designed by him, while the accessories came from Heal's and HarrodsI always add a soft or furry rug at the front of the freestanding tub, along with an interesting accent table just big enough for a candle and glass of wine. I also love a minimal teak slat shelf that bridges the bathtub to hold soaps and scrubs." If you have a choice, always choose the window wall. Windows aren’t ideal for the vanity or shower, so it’s the perfect place for a tub. If the window isn’t an option, I would create a feature wall behind the tub to draw attention to this part of the bathroom. I’ve incorporated antique mirrors, dramatic art installations, accent tile designs, or even wall coverings (just make sure they’re waterproof). I like tubs that have a subtle curve to them to soften up a bathroom. Nothing too modern, nothing too traditional. Before Calvin Klein, Simons served as creative director for French fashion house Dior for three years, during which he held a fashion show in a room covered with fresh, white orchids. The designer also has his own eponymous clothing line, which he shows in New York each season. It’s hard not to sympathise with those who mourn the studio’s dereliction. But with continued pressure from the heritage group Preserving Womersley and the Bernat Klein Foundation, there’s cause for some hope. Womersley’s striking Z-shaped Port Murray house on the Ayrshire coast was demolished in 2016. Now, surely, his magnum opus cannot be allowed to suffer a similar fate.
