Weekly Design Inspiration: Hot! Hot! Hot! (Tubs)
Hot days and warm nights are within our reach and there’s almost nothing better than relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of running around in the sun. However, that doesn’t mean that your hot tub has to look like something out of the supply catalog! There are so many design choices that you can make to suit your style, including integrated styles, stone-clad tubs, and freestanding fixtures!
Hop In!
Few things are more luxe than having a built-in hot tub. We love the look of hot tubs integrated seamlessly with their surroundings, whether that means a deck installation, or even a take on an infinity pool! You want to feel as though you’re at peace with nature when you’re outside, and bringing your tub to ground level will help you achieve that mood.

Stone the Crows
The combination of stone and water seems like a duo so natural that it’s hard to resist. We know how calming being in nature is, so why not just surround yourself with more of it? Stone work is simultaneously rustic and elevated. The soothing sensation of the cool rocks against the steamy water brings a spa experience to your own backyard. This style suits anything from the ultramodern to the rustic forest home.

We’re Still (Free) Standing
There has been a movement toward the natural in all design over the past few years. Hot tubs are no exception. We have been loving the modern Scandinavian look of free standing hot tubs. Many of them are also heated by wood and can fit anywhere, saving both chemical and labour costs! This is perfect for any on- or off-the-grid home.

Design Tip: Think about how your family will use the tub before buying. If you like to go for a solo dip after swimming, you won’t need the same tub that someone hosting weekly soirees would have.
