Join host Susan and producer Kurt on Coffee With Real Estate for a fun dive into the wild world of modern home design! Bathtubs are breaking free from boring bathrooms—think freestanding sculptural tubs basking in bedroom sunlight, tucked under skylights, or even soaking in lush backyard gardens for that ultimate spa-like escape. Inspired by retreats and hot springs, homeowners crave experiential moments with organic materials like wood and marble, wet rooms where water flows freely, and deep Japanese-style furo tubs immersed in nature.

We unpack why families keep at least one traditional tub but prioritize big showers elsewhere, how these dramatic designs boost listing appeal (buyers say, "I could stay here for hours!"), and why luxury tubs are now affordable mainstream must-haves. Then, we spill the secret to thriving couples: personal retreat spaces! From man caves and she sheds to separate his-and-hers bathrooms or garage offices, surveys show 89% of Americans need alone time for better mental health, fewer conflicts, and stronger connections. With remote work blurring lines, extra spaces like ADUs are win-wins for love-life balance.

Whether remodeling or buying, discover how to turn your home into a joyful sanctuary. Do what makes you happy—lock the door, add a mini fridge, and soak away!
