A black tub evokes sexy self-care vibes.

he idea of a white tub went down the drain in this primary bathroom.
“I wanted something different,” says interior designer Betsy Judd. “I was tired of the same old same old.”
The lead designer for Willis Custom Homes selected a solid-surface black soaking tub for the builder’s 2024 Artisan Home.
A half wall divides the space from the shower, while the glass enclosure above makes the space feel part of the open room. Glass black tile below was a budget splurge worth the effect.
“I love how it gives the space depth,” Judd says.
The dark tub—along with the dark-painted doors to the closet and the toilet room—have a grounding effect in a room full of “movement” from the marble pattern in the porcelain tile.
“It’s definitely a dramatic look,” says owner Patrick Willis.
