{"title":"Square Baths","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSquare Baths Buying Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square bath's defining feature is depth rather than length. Because its footprint is compact, the interior walls are typically steeper than a standard tub's, allowing for a more upright, fully submerged soak in less overall floor space. The result reads as clean, geometric and deliberately modern, a genuine contrast to the softer curves of an oval or round bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere a square bath works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small bathroom or tight ensuite benefits from a square bath's compact footprint more than almost any other shape. Tucked into a corner, it can offer meaningfully more usable floor space than a long rectangular tub would in the same room, without sacrificing soaking depth to achieve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA larger master bathroom suits a freestanding square bath as a genuine focal point instead, positioned centrally in the room where its sharp geometry reads as a considered design feature rather than a purely functional fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinding the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \"square\" bath isn't always a literal 1:1 ratio; the term generally describes a compact, blocky shape rather than a precise geometric square, and sizes span a genuine range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact sizes around 1200mm and 1300mm suit smaller spaces, with extra depth compensating for the shorter length to still deliver a proper soak. 1400mm and 1500mm are the most commonly chosen sizes, roomy enough for a comfortable solo soak without dominating a standard-sized bathroom. 1600mm, 1700mm and larger suit a bigger bathroom, comfortably fitting two people or giving a single bather a genuinely generous, deep soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompleting the bathroom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square bath is easiest to plan alongside the room's tiling and tapware, since installation type and finish both depend on decisions made elsewhere in the renovation. The Blue Space's Tiles and Tapware collections are worth reviewing alongside a square bath selection to bring the full bathroom together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"Is a square bath comfortable?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"For most adults, yes, a square or rectangular profile gives a wider base to sit in than a round bath of similar external dimensions, and the straight sides make it easier to lean back at a consistent angle.
