There's nothing like ending the day with a nice long soak—especially if said soak is done in a tub with fancy feet. For us, there's just something special about the old-world aesthetic and intricate embellishments of a clawfoot tub that brings a touch of luxury to an otherwise basic space.

Maybe it's because clawfoot tubs evoke images of 19th-century mystique and Old Hollywood glamour—think Ava Gardner in One Touch of Venus, Greer Garson in Julia Misbehaves, and Kim Novak in Pal Joey. But aside from the refined retro charm and statement-making nature of clawfoot tubs, they also happen to be incredibly versatile and can complement a range of design styles.

If you've been on the lookout for the right clawfoot tub for your main bathroom but haven't been able to zero in on one shape, size, finish, or color, let us be your guide. These clawfoot tubs are guaranteed to bring both your self-care ritual and bathroom style to the next level.

Below, read on for clawfoot bathtub inspiration from modern style to vintage elegance—and everything in between.
