No need for staycays when you’ve got bathrooms like these.
Ah, to own a bathtub. There’s something so blissful about soaking yourself in a tub of warm, fragrant water after a hard day’s work. If you’re eager to have your very own bathtub in your HDB flat, it’s time to get inspired by these 7 beautiful bathrooms, each decked out with their very own bathtub!
1. A daring open-concept bathroom | Choa Chu Kang
After much thought, the owner of this bachelor pad decided to give his decades-old childhood home in Choa Chu Kang a fresh new look – which included converting the en-suite bathroom into an open-concept one for a more spacious feel.
One of his requirements was to add a bathtub, built with reflective veined tiles that match the surrounding walls. Coupled by contemporary lighting fixtures, it looks like it would fit right in a luxe hotel.
2. An edgy, urban take on hotel-like bathrooms | Northshore Drive
If you’d prefer something a little edgier, this BTO’s master en suite might be right up your alley.
Reminiscent of The Warehouse Hotel with its industrial-meets-contemporary vibe, its walls and floor are covered in grey tiles to match the master bedroom’s limewash paint. As a result, the warm mood lighting and matte black fittings stand out, and there’s even a tiered vanity cabinet to really nail the hotel look.
3. A farmhouse style bathroom with a modern twist | Woodlands Drive
Decked out in light shades, this bathroom sports a bright-and-airy farmhouse look, but mixes in elements like the veined countertop for a contemporary twist.
The vintage floor tiles and brushed bronze accents, meanwhile, create a classic ‘canvas’ that highlight the freestanding bathtub.
4. An onsen-style bathroom with a stone-tiled bathtub | Yung Ho Road
Instead of a white bathtub, this HDB flat at Yung Ho Road uses a stone-tiled bathtub to match the rest of the home’s contemporary-industrial interior. That, combined with the warm wood materials, gives it a sleek, natural appeal reminiscent of an indoor onsen you’d find in a Japanese hotel.
Bonus points for the similar shade of tiles used for the walls and bathtub, since it creates a seamless look that looks oh-so-pleasing.

5. A dark and cosy bathroom that lets you enjoy the view | Bishan
If you’re fortunate enough to have a bathroom that comes with sizeable windows, make full use of it! Take notes from this resale flat’s bathroom, with wood-slatted blinds that allow its owners to enjoy the view, without compromising on their privacy.
Additionally, walnut vinyl and dark grey tiles are paired with warm lights to create a cosy environment, while the bay window doubles as a ledge to place a cup of wine/coffee should you decide to take an extended bubble bath.
6. A spacious, industrial chic bathroom with custom features | Telok Blangah Heights
Bearing similarities to industrial-themed hotels like The Steam Hotel in Sweden and Korinkyo Hotel in Japan, the owners of this resale flat in Telok Blangah went to great lengths to get the bathroom to look the way it does now.
For starters, the original bathrooms were merged to form a larger one, demarcated by an arched ‘walkway’ between the shower area and WC.
7. A monochrome bathroom, but make it posh | Ang Mo Kio
Likewise the product of merging two bathrooms together, this SPACIOUS bathroom in Ang Mo Kio is at once classic yet contemporary, simple yet elegant.
On one end, there’s a glass-enclosed shower area with black subway tiles for a minimalist, modern look. On the other end, you’ll find a freestanding single-slipper bathtub, very much like those used in period dramas.
Matching gold accents are then used as a ‘bridge’ between the two concepts, all while elevating the space alongside the black marble tiles to give it a posh look.
