When beginning a master bathroom remodel, there are a lot of decisions to be made for each element of the room and endless options to choose from. One change that should not be overlooked is switching out your existing shower or tub unit for a freestanding tub.
A traditional clawfoot tub can transform the entire look and feel of your bathroom, bringing an elegant and luxurious touch to any renovation. In the list below, you can find the most stylish clawfoot tub bathroom ideas to serve as inspiration for your next remodel.
An All-White Bathroom Paired With Brown Accents and a Vintage Clawfoot Tub
This type of layout is the perfect answer for anyone who loves the look of a claw foot bathtub but would still like the functionality of a separate shower. Crisp white subway tiles surround the space, reflecting the bright sunlight streaming through the window.
The tub has detailed silver feet that echo the silver of the shower head. A rich brown wood vanity with brown towels and matching accent decor completes the look by adding depth to the room.

A Sleek, Modern Bathroom With a Deep Clawfoot Tub and Floating Sink
This clawfoot tub is placed directly in the shower area, and the depth of the tub itself allows for a relaxing bath without the need for additional space in this small bathroom.
A floating sink and toilet in the same white material as the clawfoot tub bring everything together for a cohesive look. Using stainless steel plumbing fixtures throughout maintains the theme, while mirror cabinets provide adequate bathroom storage.

A Functionality-packed Small Bathroom with a Traditional Look
This small bathroom also includes the washing machine, on quite a small surface, yet there is still space to let the clawfoot tub shine. The classic chrome fixtures and the vintage mirror with the wooden frame enhance this classic look even more. The different materials stand out powerfully against the powder pink wall color on the walls above the white tiles.

Embrace a Vintage Aesthetic by Pairing Detailed Flooring, a Clawfoot Tub, and White Subway Tiles
This small bathroom is bursting with personality and vintage charm. It perfectly melds updated fixtures with a farmhouse bathroom to create a style that’s as unique as it is lovely.
Intricate flooring is the perfect counter to the simple tile walls, and the clawfoot tub highlights both of these ideals as well. The lattice window, planked ceiling, and ladder rack in this bathroom all exude a country feel that’s sure to delight guests.

A Bold Clawfoot Bathtub With Gold Hardware for a Dramatic Focal Point
For a contemporary style, pair a large clawfoot tub with a simplistic, yet elegant, design. The pale blue of the walls is echoed in the gingham pattern on the curtain, as well as the fresh flowers on the window sill.
Large white planks used for wainscoting add just a touch of visual interest around the bathroom. The pop of gold from the faucets and the dramatic cast iron feet work together to create a luxurious bathtub worthy of magazines.
Add a Touch of Mid-Century Modern Styling With a Large Clawfoot Tub and Patterned Hexagon Floor Tiles
This unique, throwback bathroom remodel is a fun take on retro design. Reddish-brown hexagonal tiles set in a honeycomb pattern with off-white counterparts create an original flooring that sets the tone for this space.
The design of the clawfoot tub itself is not the typical style we’ve seen so far, adding to the one-of-a-kind look of the bathroom. A few antique accessories on the window sill add a bit of charm, and the wooden tray stretched across the tub mimics the brown tones on the floor.

Create a Unique Space by Pairing a Deep Tub With Recessed Shelving and Shower-Height Tiling
This bathroom remodel repurposes the shower area for a deep clawfoot tub. Shower height tiles help to protect the walls against splashes, and the recessed shower caddy keeps all the most used items within easy reach.
The sandy brown paint used for the walls is reflected in the tones of the wood stool and striped towel, creating a cohesive feeling in the space. A marble checkerboard floor adds a dash of luxury to this bathroom without being overwhelming.

A Black and White Bathroom With a Clawfoot Tub to Make the Most of a Small Space
A small bathroom can pose additional challenges for a remodel. However, the lack of extra room doesn’t mean that a claw foot tub is entirely out of the question.
This classic black and white bathroom uses a smaller tub to achieve the look of a large, grand master bathroom without sacrificing space that could be better used elsewhere. You can spice up this style further by including a few pops of a bright, bold color, such as with linens or decor.

Channel Bohemian Elegance With a Compact Clawfoot Tub, Intricate Flooring, and Off-White Linens
Anyone looking for a more relaxed and airy bathroom will love this style. Off-white linens and wood accents work together to create a bathroom with a natural presence while maintaining a super clean feel.
Detailed, almost Moroccan, tile flooring adds visual interest and serves as an excellent contrast to the stark white clawfoot tub and uniform square wall tiles. Using the window sill as a storage space for essentials is both practical and decorative, enhancing the casual vibe of the bathroom.

A Blend of Modernism and Traditional Design by Pairing Industrial Touches With Natural Elements
Light wood floors, off-white walls, and black accents are a tried and true combination that stands the test of time, and this bathroom is no different. Showcasing a perfect combination of modern elements and traditional style, this bathroom provides the best of both worlds.
The large windows and high ceilings are also ideal for plant life, allowing you to bring a touch of greenery into the bathroom for a refreshing air.

Elevate the Look of a Simple Clawfoot Tub by Using Bold Colors and Detailed Accents
Looking for a breathtaking bathroom that will leave your guests speechless? Take inspiration from this green and gold bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Victorian-esque flooring paired with vintage fixtures and bold green tiles reminiscent of Scheele’s green transports this bathroom back to the 1800s while maintaining modern comforts.
The brassy-gold hardware found throughout pairs beautifully with the aesthetic created here, and using a sheet of glass as a barrier for the shower area helps to provide division where needed without subtracting from the room.

Simple White Walls and Minimalist Hardware for a Fresh Take on Bathroom Designs
If you love the look of a clawfoot tub but want a much more subdued bathroom, this minimalist style may be the solution. This no-frills clawfoot tub is large enough for a luxurious bathing experience but doesn’t have purely decorative elements like cast iron feet or sloped sides.
The hardware is discretely built into the wall and creates a sleek appearance that promotes calm and relaxation. A small wooden shelving unit serves as the perfect spot for storing bath essentials while maintaining the minimalist appeal.
