Otti Baths: More Than a Centrepiece, It's a Feeling
Right, let's get into your bathroom renovation. It’s a project with a capital P. You’re doing more than swapping out old fixtures; you’re building the room where your day begins and ends. That space has to feel just right.
And the bath is the main event. This is why we are so selective about our partners at The Blue Space. Otti is a brand that just gets it. They don't just make baths. They shape them with a real feel for how design and materials can make a room special. It's a kind of quality you don't just see; you can actually feel it.
So, Why an Otti Bath?
What’s the actual difference? It really comes down to the thought process behind each design. Otti doesn't just think about how a bath looks; they think about how it feels to be in it. The ergonomics, the way the material holds warmth, the angle of the backrest for a comfortable soak. It’s a user-focused approach that we admire. The designs have a modern Australian feel – they are clean and uncluttered but have a softness to them. They feel both current and classic at the same time.
This is a brand that puts real effort into innovation. We're talking about advanced acrylics and stone composites that keep your bath water warmer for much longer. Who doesn't want that? The surfaces are also incredibly simple to maintain, designed to handle the realities of daily life with a family. When you invest in an Otti bath, you're buying a piece of quality hardware for your home. It’s a promise of durability and countless moments of peace. That's a promise The Blue Space stands behind. We believe good design should make your life better, and that’s what Otti delivers.
A Bath Style for Every Vision
Your bathroom has its own personality and its own spatial quirks. Otti's range is designed to cater to this reality. Finding the right style is about matching the bath's character to your own. Let's break down the main types.
Freestanding Baths: The Showstopper
There's no denying it, a freestanding bath has star power. It's a sculpture for your bathroom. It says 'luxury' without shouting it. Otti’s freestanding baths are designed to be beautiful from every single angle, giving you the freedom to place them wherever you like. Imagine it sitting under a skylight or with a view out to the garden. That's how you turn a simple wash into a genuine escape. This one choice can make the whole room feel bigger, grander, and more considered.
Back to Wall Baths: The Smart Solution
Love that freestanding look but are a bit tight on space? The back to wall bath is your answer. It's a brilliant piece of design. You get the beautiful, curved profile of a freestanding tub on the sides that are visible, with a practical flat edge that sits neatly against the wall. No wasted space, and no hard-to-reach gap to clean. It’s a popular choice in modern homes because it delivers high style without the spatial demands.
Built-In Baths: The Cohesive Classic
Setting a bath into a tiled frame, or hob, gives the room a solid, built-in feel. Use the same tiles as your walls for a flowing look, or pick a standout tile to really make the bath a feature. Otti takes this familiar style and gives it a modern edge with cleaner lines and shapes that are genuinely comfortable to lie back in.
Shower Baths: The Uncompromising Hybrid
Let’s be realistic, not every home has room for a separate bath and a walk-in shower. The shower bath is the hero for these spaces. Otti’s versions are cleverly designed with a wider, flatter base at the tap end for safe and roomy showering, while still offering a sloped back for a proper, relaxing bath. It’s a two-in-one that doesn’t feel like a compromise on either front. It’s the perfect, hard-working anchor for a busy family bathroom.
Corner & Island Baths: The Unique Silhouettes
If you're working with an unusual room layout or just want something different, look at Otti's other options. A corner bath can turn an awkward space into a feature, often providing a surprisingly generous internal capacity. For a truly grand statement, an island bath is set into a large platform. It commands the room and gives you acres of surface space for candles, plants, and towels.
Fluted Baths: The Power of Texture
See those fine vertical lines? They create subtle shadows on the bath's surface that change with the light. This is what texture does; it adds depth and stops a room from feeling flat. It’s a clever touch that shows you’re on top of modern design.
Spa Baths: Your At-Home Hydrotherapy
Forget booking a spa day. Imagine having that hydro-massage waiting for you at home. That's what an Otti spa bath gives you. The jets are placed right where you need them to soothe tired muscles after a long day. Otti builds them with quiet motors and clean jet systems, so all you have to do is sink in and relax. Think of it less as a purchase and more as an investment in your own sanity.
What's Your Shape?
The actual shape of the tub changes the whole vibe of the room. Do you want something with soft curves, or are you after the clean authority of straight lines? Otti lets you choose.
Oval Baths
There's a reason an oval bath feels so welcoming. Its shape is naturally embracing.
Rectangular Baths
Clean. Simple. Orderly. A rectangular bath gives the bathroom satisfying, straight lines that work perfectly with tiles and a modern layout. It’s a no-fuss shape that just makes sense.
Round Baths
If you have the floor space and want something truly special, a round bath is an amazing choice. They are often deeper, letting you have a completely different kind of soak. A round bath isn't just another fixture in the room; it becomes the main event.
Slipper Baths
The slipper bath is pure elegance. It has a high, sloping back at one end designed specifically to support your back and shoulders while you recline. It’s the reader's choice, perfect for whiling away an hour with a good book. It brings a sense of history and romance to a bathroom, a nod to classic design.
Square Baths
A square bath is a confident, modern statement. Often more compact, it can be a great problem-solver for tricky layouts. But its main appeal is its bold, graphic shape. It’s an unexpected choice that signals a strong design point of view.
Getting a Feel for Materials
The substance of your bath matters. It determines how it feels to the touch, how well it holds heat, and how it stands up to years of use. Otti works with a few key, high-quality materials.
Acrylic Bathtubs
Step into an acrylic bath and you’ll notice the material isn't cold on your skin. That's a nice start. It’s also totally non-porous, which just means it's simple to wipe clean and doesn't stain. From an installation perspective, they are lighter, which can be a real bonus for second-storey bathrooms.
Stone Baths
You can't fake the solid, substantial feel of a stone bath. These tubs, made from a mix of natural stone and resin, have a satisfying weight and a smooth, silky finish. Their greatest trick is their thermal performance. They draw in the heat from the water and hold it, keeping your bath warmer for much, much longer. It's a difference you can really feel.
Steel Baths
This is the tough-as-nails option. An enamelled steel bath can handle pretty much anything you throw at it—scratches, chemicals, knocks from dropped toys. It's hygienic and almost ridiculously hard-wearing. There's a good reason it has been a family favourite for decades.
The All-Important Question of Size
Getting the measurements right is non-negotiable. You need to balance the size of your room with the comfort of the bath itself. Otti's range is designed to cater for the reality of Australian homes.
Small Baths and Baths Under 1500mm
Having a small bathroom shouldn't rob you of the joy of a good soak. Otti's range of small baths proves this. Many of these clever designs sit in the baths under 1500mm category. They are specifically shaped to give you the most generous internal space possible while fitting neatly into tighter spots.
1500mm to 1700mm Baths
This is the sweet spot for most homes. A bath in the 1500mm to 1700mm range will typically offer a great bathing experience for the average adult and fits comfortably in a standard Australian bathroom. Otti has the biggest selection of styles in this size bracket, so you'll have plenty of great options.
Baths Over 1700mm
If you've got the space, why not use it? A larger bath is a true luxury. Otti's offering of baths over 1700mm provides an amazing level of comfort. There's room to properly stretch out and unwind. These are fantastic for taller people or for anyone who just wants a truly lavish bathing experience.
A Splash of Colour
Colour can transform the mood of your bathroom. While white is the everlasting classic, other options can bring a whole different energy to the space.
White Baths
You can't go wrong with a brilliant white bath. It’s a clean canvas. It makes the room feel brighter and bigger and gives you total freedom with your other colour choices for tiles, paint, and accessories. It's a look that will simply never go out of style.
Black Baths
A black bath makes a bold statement and anchors the room. It adds a sense of drama and luxury, looking especially sharp when you pair it with metallic taps or timber finishes. It’s a confident choice for a high-impact look.
Clay Baths
There's a strong move towards warmer, earthier tones in design. A clay-coloured bath from Otti taps right into this. The soft, natural colour is incredibly calming. It helps create a space that feels grounded and serene, like your own private retreat from the world.
