Discover ADP Baths: Bathroom Solutions That Feel Like You
Let’s be honest—renovating a bathroom can feel overwhelming. It’s not just about picking fixtures; it’s about creating a space where you want to unwind after a long day. That’s where ADP (Architectural Designer Products) comes in. For over 30 years, they’ve been quietly perfecting baths that balance clever design with real-world practicality. At The Blue Space, we’ve handpicked their best pieces to help Aussie homeowners cut through the noise and find baths that actually work. No jargon, no fluff—just straight talk and smart choices.
Why ADP? Because Baths Should Do More Than Look Pretty
ADP doesn’t chase trends. Instead, they focus on what lasts. Their baths are built for people who want to relax, not babysit their fixtures. Take their acrylic range—yes, it’s lightweight, but what really matters is how it feels. Unlike cheaper tubs that lose heat fast, ADP’s acrylic holds warmth, so your 10-minute soak doesn’t turn into a shiver-fest.
And their stone resin baths? They’ve cracked the code on making “low-maintenance luxury” a real thing. These look like they’ve been carved from a mountainside but clean up with a quick wipe. No fancy potions, no elbow grease—just a bath that ages gracefully, even with kids splashing around daily.
But here’s the kicker: ADP gets that Aussie homes aren’t all sprawling mansions. Their baths slot into tiny ensuites and grand bathrooms without missing a beat. It’s like they’ve got a sixth sense for awkward spaces.

Bath Styles That Actually Make Sense
Freestanding Baths: For When You Want to Feel Fancy (Without the Fuss)
Let’s cut the poetry: freestanding baths are for people who want their bathroom to say, “I’ve got my life together.” ADP’s designs? They’re not all show. The curves are shaped so you don’t end up with a numb backside, and the finishes don’t scratch if you accidentally drop a shampoo bottle.
Got a small space? Their compact 1500mm model is like the TARDIS—bigger on the inside. Pair it with a wall-mounted tap to save floor space, and suddenly your pokey ensuite feels like a spa. Check out freestanding options here.
Built-In Baths: The Underrated Workhorse
Built-in baths are the unsung heroes of family life. ADP’s versions have lips that stop water from cascading onto your floor and textured bases so your kids don’t turn bath time into a slip-’n-slide.
Pro tip: Tile the surround in the same colour as your walls. It makes the bath “disappear,” giving your bathroom a cleaner, bigger look. Find built-in designs here.
Corner Baths: Because Wasted Space is a Crime
Corners are where dust bunnies go to die. ADP’s corner baths flip the script, turning dead zones into your new favourite spot. Their angled designs fit snugly, and some even have little ledges for your coffee or phone.
Pair them with a rain showerhead overhead—suddenly, your morning routine feels less rushed. See corner baths here.
Materials That Won’t Let You Down
Acrylic: The People’s Champion
ADP’s acrylic isn’t just “lightweight.” It’s warm. Step in on a winter morning, and it doesn’t feel like climbing into an ice tray. Plus, it’s tough—no spiderweb cracks if your toddler decides to test its durability with a toy truck.
Pair it with matte black taps for a modern contrast, or go classic with chrome. Browse acrylic baths here.
Stone Resin: For When You Want to Pretend You’re in Bali
ADP’s stone resin baths have the texture of weathered stone but none of the headaches. They stay warm forever (okay, 40 minutes), and you can clean them with the same spray you use on your kitchen counters.
Style hack: Add a teak stool and a monstera plant nearby. Instant tropical vibes, no passport required. Explore stone resin baths here.
Steel: The Indestructible Option
Steel baths are like the ute of bathrooms—they just work. ADP’s versions don’t stain, don’t rust, and their glossy finish hides water spots.
Fun fact: Over time, they develop a soft sheen that makes them look lived-in, not worn-out. Check out steel baths here.
Colours That Do More Than Just “Look Nice”
-
White: Not just for clinics. ADP’s white baths have a subtle warmth that pairs with everything. Go bold with navy tiles or keep it calm with sandy tones. See white baths here.
-
Black: Makes a tiny bathroom feel cosy, not cramped. Add a pop of greenery to keep it from feeling like a cave. Explore black baths here.
-
Clay: Think “Tuscany farmhouse” but without the renovation drama. Pair with terracotta pots and linen curtains. Find clay baths here.
Size Guide: No Guesswork Required
-
Small Baths (<1500mm): Perfect if your ensuite is more “cupboard” than “room.” Go extra-deep to compensate. Shop small baths here.
-
Mid-Size (1500–1700mm): The sweet spot for average-sized bathrooms. Look for models with armrests—trust us, your elbows will thank you. Browse mid-size baths here.
-
Large Baths (>1700mm): For people who take “self-care” seriously. Bonus: doubles as a kiddie pool in summer. See large baths here.
Styling Hacks From People Who’ve Been There
-
Lighting That Doesn’t Suck
Skip the harsh overheads. Stick a dimmable wall light above the bath and add battery-powered LEDs under the rim. Instant ambience, no electrician required. -
Textures That Hide Real Life
A ribbed bath mat camouflages water splashes. Woven baskets hide kids’ bath toys. Timber shelves add warmth without looking too “showroom.” -
Plants That Won’t Die
ZZ plants or peace lilies thrive in steamy bathrooms. Pop one in a corner, and suddenly your bath feels like part of a jungle retreat. -
The Magic of a Bath Tray
Not just for Instagram. Use it to hold your coffee, book, or the TV remote (because why not binge Netflix in the tub?).
