These Baths are Bananas
Yes, a Bathtub CAN Have Its Own Incredible View, Accent Wall, Fireplace and Chandelier

On cold winter days, nothing warms you to the core quite like a soak in a steaming hot tub. But to be honest, I've never been much of a bath person. Being on the tall side, it's just not as enjoyable with your knees sticking out or your chest shivering above water.
But something about these deep, luxurious tubs tells me that wouldn't be a problem. The incredible views–both inside and out–would offer hours of calming entertainment as well. Yes, I'd happily reconsider my stance on baths if I had one of these waiting for me at the end of a long day.

Infinity-style models aren't just for pools. I love that the deep blue of the water shimmers alongside the similarly-colored mosaic tiles.
Bathing in a barrel sounds a tad too rustic for this girl, but not in this case.
Even a bathtub can have an accent wall. Cutting off one side gives this bath a one-of-a-kind look that instantly grabs people's attention.
If the water's not quite warm enough, the roaring fire nearby should help.
Another fireplace to warm you up.
Open the window and you won't be able to tell if you're still indoors or floating outside.
Or bathe amongst the trees in a top-floor outdoor bath. (Just make sure there aren't any nosy neighbors at the same eye-level.)
Get lost in a magnificent city view.
A Japanese-style soaking tub is most definitely the way to deep relaxation.
Romantic lighting and flower petals can transform any tub.
A massive chandelier makes any room feel so much more decadent.
At first glance, this appears to be just a shower. But notice that faucet below? Since the stall is sunken into the room, it can double as a big bathtub.
A high, curved back offers the perfect place to rest your head.
