ᐅ Ideas for Bathtub Faucet Installation (Mounted at a 45° Angle to the Wall)

Hello everyone,

We are planning to install a bathtub at a 45° angle to the wall. (an approximate model of the bathroom – see picture)
Right now, we are trying to figure out which type of faucet would make the most sense here.

Some considerations are:
- Rim-mounted bathtub faucets are expensive and should be of good quality, but they are hard to access for repairs. Still, they are a nice option.
- Wall-mounted or concealed faucets would need to be quite long to reach the bathtub.
- Increasing the height of the rear ledge and installing a faucet there – but we don’t think that looks very good.
- Freestanding faucet and building the rear shelf around it (does this make sense?)

I’d like to ask if any of you have a good idea for this!?
I would appreciate any input...
Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

A different bathroom layout with a straight bathtub would help 🙂

That's right, a different bathroom layout would help, but it is not desired. After all, anyone can do something simple. 😉

We have a solution with a raised front panel behind the bathtub. The bathtub faucet is also installed there. The front panel serves as a storage space for bath accessories.

This is implemented the same way in our case.
A foundation/raised platform in the corner, with the faucet installed on it, and a hexagonal bathtub positioned in front.

Does the room have a sloped ceiling? Otherwise, I don’t see the advantage (so it would just protrude slightly forward). You have a lot of surface area that collects dust and less space in the bathroom.
