We enjoy the freestanding bathtub every week
Since it was my wife's wish, we accordingly planned the main bathroom. It is 1.80 by 1.00 meters and stands with enough distance from the wall (at least one meter of space all around) angled in the corner. I can't immediately think of any advantages or disadvantages compared to a wall solution.
Cleaning is possible without difficulties, simply swiping around the outside and done. We also have enough storage space since the rim of the tub is wide and there is a shelf at the faucet – and if needed, a small side table is placed next to it for drinks, etc.
It is simply the highlight in the bathroom. And for us, a kind of luxury we wanted to afford.
