Everyone loves the idea of a luxury bathroom. A space that feels more like a spa than a utility room. But when it comes to upgrading, many people assume luxury baths come with luxury price tags. That’s not always true.

Whether you’re chasing a show-stopping centrepiece or just want to elevate your daily soak, we’ll help you find the perfect fit. In this guide, we’ll show you how to choose the right luxury bath based on your space, budget, and style.

What Defines a Luxury Bath?

Not all baths are created equal. When it comes to luxury bathtubs, it’s the details — comfort, design, and overall experience — that truly set a bath apart.

Features That Make a Bath Luxurious

Luxury baths stand out through their design, feel, and presence. It’s not just about how they look — it’s how they elevate your daily routine. Key features include deep soaking depth for full-body immersion, curved ergonomic shapes that cradle the body, and beautiful finishes in high-gloss or soft matte, all of which you’ll find within the Ross’s Discount Home Centre range.

Freestanding and back-to-wall baths are often chosen for their visual impact. They act as the centrepiece of a bathroom and add a refined, spa-inspired look. Our new luxury baths include both timeless and modern options designed for comfort and style.

Beyond Price—It’s About Experience

Luxury doesn’t have to mean expensive. A luxury bath is about how it makes you feel — relaxed, refreshed, and at ease in your space. With the right design and material, you can enjoy a high-end bathing experience without the high-end price tag. It’s a lifestyle upgrade, not just a design choice.

TL;DR: Luxury baths offer more than looks. It’s about deep comfort, long soaks, and a spa-like experience that doesn’t have to break the bank.

Popular Styles of Luxury Baths

A well-designed bathroom can feel like a private retreat — and the bath plays a big role. Whether you’re working with a grand ensuite or a compact family bathroom, intelligent luxury bathroom designs require choosing the right bath shape and style to suit your needs.

Below, we’ll break down today’s most popular bath styles — from freestanding centrepieces to small luxury baths — and how each one can enhance the look and function of your space.

Freestanding Baths for Statement Appeal

Freestanding baths remain the gold standard in modern bath design. Their sculptural form makes them the perfect feature bath—ideal for open-plan bathrooms or luxury master baths where you want a visual focal point. These baths don’t need a wall to lean on, giving you more freedom in layout and placement. Available in oval, rectangular, and curved organic shapes, luxury freestanding baths offer both aesthetic elegance and deep-soaking comfort.

At Ross’s, our range includes styles with high-gloss and matte finishes that look just as good as they feel, making them a standout choice for homeowners chasing affordable indulgence.

Back-to-Wall Baths for Practical Luxury

Prefer something that blends luxury with functionality? Back-to-wall baths deliver the appearance of a freestanding bath while sitting flush against a single wall—offering a neat, space-efficient alternative. They’re great for everyday family bathrooms or tighter floor plans where cleaning ease and space savings matter. With smooth edges, generous depth, and minimalistic styling, these baths provide a sleek modern bath design that’s practical without compromising on that luxurious feel. They’re also easier to install than fully freestanding options, adding convenience without losing that upmarket look.

Compact and Small Luxury Baths

When bathroom space is limited, choosing a small bath doesn’t mean sacrificing luxury. Today’s small luxury baths are specifically designed to maximise depth and comfort within compact dimensions—making them perfect for apartments, guest bathrooms, or smaller master ensuites.

TL;DR: Freestanding and back-to-wall baths define modern luxury aesthetics, while small luxury baths—like those from Ross’s—offer deep, indulgent comfort in compact sizes.

Choosing the Right Bath for Your Bathroom Size

Finding a luxury bath that fits your space is just as important as finding one that looks good. Smart bathroom layout planning helps you balance aesthetics and practicality—whether you’re working with a tight ensuite or designing a large luxury bathroom. This section looks at the best options for small and spacious bathrooms to help you achieve a functional, spa-like space.

Small Bathrooms: Go Deep, Not Wide

If your space is limited, depth and shape matter more than width. Choose a small luxury bath that’s deep enough for soaking but compact enough to fit your floor plan. Matte finishes and curved lines also help reduce visual bulk, creating a clean, open feel. Ross’s range of compact freestanding baths and back-to-wall baths are perfect for modern small bathrooms where space-saving is essential.

We offer several small freestanding baths, 1500mm and smaller, that deliver big on style. Standouts include the Galaxy Oval Freestanding Bath (130cm and 150cm) and the 150cm Morocco Back to the Wall Freestanding Bath, available in white, grey & white, and black & white colourways. These small luxury bathtubs prove that even in smaller spaces, you can still enjoy a luxury bath experience without compromise.

If you’re working with a small bathroom, our guide, How to Incorporate a Freestanding Bath in a Small Bathroom, will help you choose a luxury freestanding bath to suit your space.

Large Bathrooms: Make a Statement

Got room to play with? A large luxury bath makes a striking centrepiece in any luxury bathroom design. Freestanding models in the 170cm range, such as the Galaxy Oval Freestanding Bath or Morocco Back to the Wall Freestanding Bath, available in white, grey & white, and black & white, anchor the space and invite relaxation. Add floor-mounted tapware or a feature tile wall to create a personal spa retreat.

TL;DR: Big or small, your bathroom can have a luxury bath that fits. Focus on deep, compact styles for tight spaces and bold statement baths for open layouts.

How Much Do Luxury Baths Really Cost?

Luxury baths might sound like a splurge, but they’re surprisingly within reach—especially if you know where to shop. With a bit of planning and the right supplier, it’s easy to find an affordable statement bath that fits your renovation budget. This section breaks down what you can expect to pay and how Ross’s makes luxury accessible.

Rethinking the Price Tag

The idea that luxury has to mean expensive is outdated. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we believe affordable elegance should be available to every homeowner. That’s why we stock a wide range of luxury baths for sale, with most models priced between $1,340.00 and $1,590.00 including GST. From freestanding feature tubs to compact styles for small bathrooms, you don’t need to overspend to achieve a luxurious result.

Factors That Affect Cost

Not all luxury baths are priced the same. Several elements influence the total cost—material quality, bath shape, size, and whether it’s a freestanding or back-to-wall model. Freestanding tubs often sit at the higher end of the price spectrum, not just for their design presence but for the extra space and installation flexibility they offer. Still, even these can fall into the mid-range bathroom upgrade category if sourced wisely.

Get More Value with Ross’s

At Ross’s, we work directly with manufacturers to bring luxury baths for less to the Perth market. That means you skip the retail markup and get high-quality products at genuine trade prices. All our baths are made from durable acrylic, many with 5-year warranties, so you get both style and peace of mind—without blowing your bathroom renovation budget.

TL;DR: You don’t need a designer budget to get a luxury bath. With Ross’s offering stunning, high-quality options under $1,600, creating a spa-style bathroom is more affordable than you think.

Luxury Bathroom Ideas for a Designer Look

Luxury bathroom design is about more than just the bath itself—it’s about creating a complete space that feels indulgent and cohesive. Whether you’re doing a full renovation or simply updating to luxury bathroom fixtures, the right design choices can turn any bathroom into a spa-style sanctuary. This section features fresh, achievable luxury bathroom ideas that complement Ross’s range of new luxury baths, helping you create a space that feels indulgent, modern, and practical.

Create a Spa Ambience with Simplicity

Spa-inspired styling is at the heart of most luxury bathroom ideas. It’s about more than just the bath—it’s about how the whole space works together. Start with a neutral palette, an LED backlit mirror, and natural materials such as timber vanities or stone-look tiles. Choose a new luxury bath with a sculptural, freestanding form to act as the centrepiece. It instantly sets the tone and invites relaxation. Even smaller bathrooms can achieve this look with clever layout planning and streamlined fittings.

Complement with Matte Black or Brushed Brass Tapware

No luxury look is complete without tapware that makes a statement. Matte black or brushed brass fittings add a sense of contrast and depth, especially when paired with the soft curves of freestanding baths. These modern finishes work beautifully in both compact bathrooms and larger, more opulent layouts. Whether you’re styling a couple’s ensuite or a luxury master bath, Ross’s offers tapware and bathroom accessories to suit every mood and bath shape—floor-mounted, wall-mounted, or deck-mounted.

Add Storage Without Sacrificing Style

Luxury doesn’t mean impractical. Storage is still key—especially in shared or family bathrooms. Wall niches in the shower or above the bath keep clutter off surfaces while contributing to the overall design. Pair your bath with a slimline floating vanity to maintain visual balance and a sense of openness. At Ross’s, you’ll find stylish bathroom furniture that complements both compact and luxury master baths alike.

TL;DR: Creating a designer look is easy with the right mix of styling, statement tapware, and a freestanding bath—making it possible to achieve a stunning luxury bathroom without blowing the budget.

Freestanding Baths vs. Built-In: Pros and Cons

Choosing the right bath style isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about how it fits your layout, lifestyle, and plumbing setup. Whether you’re drawn to the statement appeal of a freestanding design or the space-saving simplicity of a built-in bath, each option has unique advantages. This section explores the pros and cons of luxury freestanding baths versus more traditional drop-in models, helping you make the best choice for your home.

Freestanding Baths

Freestanding baths are the go-to for high-end bathroom design—and for good reason. Their sculptural appeal makes them the focal point of any space, instantly adding a spa-like atmosphere. From curved organic shapes to minimalist ovals, they offer incredible design freedom and elevate the look of luxury baths in modern homes.

However, they do require more space. Because plumbing is often exposed and positioned away from walls, freestanding tubs are best suited to bathrooms with generous footprints. You’ll also want to consider floor-mounted or freestanding tapware, which can add to the overall cost and design planning.

Read our complete article on the Benefits of Freestanding Baths to determine if they’re the right choice for your new bathroom.

Built-In Baths

Built-in or drop-in baths are more compact and efficient, making them a smart option for smaller bathrooms or family homes. They sit flush against walls, use less space, and make it easier to include features like wall-mounted shower heads or bath screens. This streamlined setup also hides plumbing and can be easier to clean around.

While built-in models don’t have the same visual drama as a freestanding centrepiece, they’re practical, budget-friendly, and ideal for those prioritising functionality. With clever styling and tiling, they can still feel contemporary and elegant.

TL;DR: Freestanding baths offer the most luxurious look and spa-like feel, but built-in models can be more practical for tighter layouts or shared bathrooms.
